It was only last night, that I signed just another petition against, that ruthless uprooting of olive trees and hence family lives - this time 1,400 - by the Israelis on Palestinian land. http://www.change.org/petitions/stop-uprooting-palestinian-trees I signed and thought by myself, how many trees (and lives) will it take, till they (f. i.
