🇵🇸🇮🇱 How could someone STAND FOR something like this?!
Israeli soldiers STOPPED Palestinians who were trying to harvest and bring THEIR OWN FOOD back home.
This is from Tuqu', southeast of Bethlehem.
Farmers go out to pick the crop that feeds their families, and soldiers and settlers are right there blocking the groves, grabbing the bags, and detaining people on the way back.
They’re not letting them get their OWN FOOD.

Listen carefully, Mario, you Nasrallah fanboy and Qatar lackey who never stops hawking fabrications for jihadist gangs.
Your entire post, with its hysterical capitals and manufactured fury, amounts to nothing more than calculated falsehood.
Palestinian farmers are not prevented from taking their harvest home to feed their families.
That claim is a barefaced lie.
They are not detained either.
They undergo brief inspections, a routine measure across the West Bank.
When these farmers are halted and their belongings checked, it constitutes ordinary security practice.
It is standard procedure to stop Palestinians and inspect them in high-risk zones adjacent to Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.
Olive harvest seasons have long been flashpoints. Palestinian agricultural work near settlements has repeatedly featured stone-throwing, ambushes, and attempts at terrorist attacks.
Those patterns fully justify military inspections to safeguard civilians and maintain order.
Fringe excesses by certain settlers, mainly the hilltop youth thugs, do occasionally occur, and in rare cases soldiers themselves are involved.
Such vile acts draw sharp condemnation from the IDF, the Israeli government, every major Israeli political party, and from settler leaders and rabbis themselves, who view them as damaging to the settlement project, as immoral, and as strictly forbidden under both Jewish law and Israeli law.
The overwhelming bulk of security operations remains legitimate defense by the IDF, working with the law-abiding communities of the so-called West Bank against ongoing terrorism threats.
All of these routine security procedures accords with international humanitarian law.
None of these measures has anything to do with denying farmers access to their own harvest.
