Cows belonging to settlement sent to destroy Palestinian olive trees

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.

If the Israeli's lose enough cows maybe they would keep them corraled.

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"

Yes, it would go down pretty much like that, I suspect.

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

Round them up and make the settlers pay a fine to get them back. You could tattoo each cow and if it got rounded up again, the fee to get them back increases with each capture. Let the landowner make a profit for the inconvenience.

As an aside, I haven't seen such a scrawny bunch of Israeli reds since Rudi Winter went on hunger strike
