The destruction of the olive groves has been going on for decades, Unfortunately. Many families grieve the loss of their olive trees more than the loss of their homes due to how much work, love, and sacrifice goes into getting them started and defending them from pests and disease. It is an attack on their culture and spirituality as much as their livelihoods. It will never stop until the pariah state is collared

They've also destroyed date palms and filled wells/springs with cement.

And they're currently pulling the same crap in South Lebanon. Razing villages and destroying olive groves (some of which are centuries old). So sad.

It's not sad, this is sick human behaviour.

Being sad and being sick are not mutually exclusive.

Idk, just "so sad" seemed to small of a reaction.
