21 October 2014
Cows belonging to settlers are sent to graze amid Palestinian olive trees in the village of Aqraba in the Occupied Territories.
There are many ways that extremists have come up with to vandalize the crops of Palestinian farmers and wreak havoc on their lives. Some of these ways are even quite creative.
In these photos and videos from October 20th 2014, we see the cows of settlers enjoying an all-you-can-eat buffet on the olive trees of Palestinians from the village of Aqraba, south of Nablus, near the Itamar settlement.

(45,850 posts)first off because cows are quite valuable as source of dairy products so better to round them up as stray animals, let the settlers reclaim their cows and explain how they got to where they were, otherwise they are abandoned property and as such a boon to the village
besides if they were shot the headlines would read "Terrorist attack against 'Israeli' cows"

Poor cows, stuck in the conflict...mooo.
