    The olive harvest has begun in the occupied West Bank u but with it
    have come frequent, persistent attacks by Israeli settlers on
    Palestinians and their trees. During the first half of 2025, the UN
    Rights Office recorded 757 assaults by settlers that resulted in
    injury or damage to property. Palestinians have been targeted, olive
    groves destroyed, and crops ruined, drawing criticism from UN human
    rights chiefs and condemnation globally a On at least 38 occasions, eyewitnesses reported that the Israeli military aided the attackers,
    according to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of
    Humanitarian Affairs (Ocha). In other instances, the Israeli military
    has uprooted Palestinian olive trees. In August 2025, the Israeli
    military destroyed 10,000 olive trees during a three-day siege of the
    West Bank Palestinian village of Al Mughayyir a

    Settlers beat up Palestinians regularly. And the Army comes along to
    ensure the Palestinians donrCOt try to fight back.

    The IDF behavior towards civilians in the West Bank is no different
    than the SS were in occupied Poland.
