Cutting Arab trees by settlers

(1/3) > >>

Dexter:
Leftists say Settlers cut Arab olive trees, alothough it's against what the Torah commends us:
כִּי-תָצוּר אֶל-עִיר יָמִים רַבִּים לְהִלָּחֵם עָלֶיהָ לְתָפְשָׂהּ, לֹא-תַשְׁחִית אֶת-עֵצָהּ לִנְדֹּחַ עָלָיו גַּרְזֶן--כִּי מִמֶּנּוּ תֹאכֵל, וְאֹתוֹ לֹא תִכְרֹת: כִּי הָאָדָם עֵץ הַשָּׂדֶה, לָבֹא מִפָּנֶיךָ בַּמָּצוֹר.
-דברים כ, י''ט

So never listen to the Leftists saying those things.

Can you provide a translation of this verse? :)

If the trees grow in Eretz Yisrael, they are Hashem's trees and do not belong to the Arabs.

Sure:
When thou shalt besiege a city a long time, in making war against it to take it, thou shalt not destroy the trees thereof by forcing an axe against them: for thou mayest eat of them, and thou shalt not cut them down (for the tree of the field is man's life) to employ them in the siege:

Every tree on the earth belongs to God, but God commend us not to harm trees of gentiles thet we win.

I agree, it's better to cut down A-rabs intead of good trees. But maybe the Piss now and/or A-rab themselfs cutt those trees to blame the settlers, just like the water supply to an A-rab village earlier.
