for hundreds of years, Palestine was full of olive and orange groves. Pastoral life should not be denigrated. JMHO. So many Israelie generals turned that land into a haven for terrorists.

You admire the Ukrainians, but vilify the Palestinians. Same deal for each of them. It doesn't matter who took their land, it is still gone and 2.2 million people are crammed into a tiny parcel of land that shrinks weekly as "settlers" with guns pointed at them all day long take their land and destroy their homes.
