Yesterday there was an article featured on the bbc website.
It told of the problems that the people living in Burin have been encountering with settlers cutting down the trees in the groves closestn to the settlements.
The article describes the loss of trees from a Palestinian farmer in Burin and a Jewish settler in the south of the West Bank.
It is interesting that the bbc is seeming to strive for impartiality in this article as it consistently reassures the everyday news reader.
Yet I find myself wondering if the lives of these two men, considering the stark difference of a west bank settlement and a Palestinian village can really be comparable.
the article can be read here :
Middle east conflict played out in the olive groves
And I will leave you to decide for yourselves.

The olive harvest 2009
We are a collective of individuals who chose to spend two weeks of October 2009 in the olive fields of Burin and Madama, in the Nablus District of the West Bank, Palestine. This page is a tool for the group to store information, events and occurrences that are related to our visit and to show support for and document development internationally towards the establishment of a Palestinian state.
