Jerusalem - PNN
Groups of Israeli Settlers on Tuesday, uprooted dozens of olive trees in the Bethlehem governorate.Mohammed al-Ja'fari, one of the popular activists and Secretary-General of Fatah movement in the al-Dheisheh refugee camp, said that settlers uprooted 150 olive trees from a land in al-Khader village.Al-Ja'fari told PNN that the groups of settlers, which are protected by Israeli forces, represent a permanent terrorist threat to the Palestinians, stressing that Bethlehem province as part of the West Bank is always subjected to those crimes carried out by the Israeli government and its settlers, which aim at deporting the Palestinians from their land."The Popular Committees against the settlement can't totally stop the settler's crimes against the Palestinians and their property, " he continued, "Therefore a violent action is needed to respond to such crimes, which indicates that there will be an armed intifada (uprising) that may be more violent than the previous."
