@StellaEscoTV@bradlander Brad has been super busy on X on his subversive mission to Israel......but today an eerie silence. He realizes how pathetic posts like this look when he says what Israel is truly up against.
@mycr_karenina You can't even name the horror without turning it back on Israel. Condemn the violence as means to achieve their political aspirations full stop. Instead blame Israel...
@Fredminton8@mycr_karenina that's the point you refuse to even read it to prove the nefarious motives of Landers operation. It presents a leaked internal document

the Silence is deafening. Imagine if people in Brooklyn couldn't drive down the BQE without fearing for their lives every trip. You are morally bankrupt
The extreme majority of Palestinians (93% to 94%) aren't denied regular access to their olive groves.
Restrictions currently apply only to 16% of Olive Groves in Area C, which only has 37% to 43% of groves (5% to 6% of all Palestinian groves). All are near settlements or bases.
This affects about 0.6% to 1.2% of West Bank Palestinians.
There are about 80,000 to 110,000 Palestinian families involved in olive cultivation. Average household size per the UN is 4.6 to 4.8 people, so that's 368,000 to 528,000 people. Israeli restrictions on 6% to 7% of lands thus affect about 22,000 to 37,000 people.
This is out of a total West Bank population of 3.2 million to 3.4 million.
If you're one of the people affected by the restrictions, you understandably find it unfair, annoying, and unduly burdensome. If you're an outsider you can agree with that.
On the whole these restrictions are a small thing though which have just taken on a lot of symbolic importance. They're a regular talking point for activists and the always-burgeoning industry of conflict-tourists because there's a near-universal romance to small farmers and because it's a very visible thing in the locales where it's an issue.

@PatrickHilsman Your post is about Syria, but I thought you may appreciate the facts of the olive harvest. Sorry for conflating the two, but you keep calling Israelis scum so I found common ground because of your slander.

@AviMeyerstein Why can't a private Jewish citizen buy land from a private Arab citizen if both parties mutually agree to the transaction? Because the PA says it's illelgal
@AviMeyerstein The whole framing of they are trying to justify is that Israeli Jews in the "West Bank" are dangerous and terroristicly inclined. It whitewashes so many aspects of what the Truth on the ground is. We will start with two...
@AviMeyerstein This reminds me a lot of the Tucker Carlson defenders.....What's wrong with just ask questions....it misses the underlying motives and assumptions behind Tuckers nefarious strategy.
