Here’s a link to the Olive harvest situation:

> The local Palestinians have reasons to fear for their lives. On October 6, 2002, Hani Bani Maniyah, a 22 year old from neighbouring Aqraba was shot and killed by settlers while harvesting olives. The Israeli Human Rights group B’TSELEM claims that the shots were fired from nearby Itamar. One settler was arrested and six others were questioned. Weapons were seized. The arrested settler was released a few hours later and no charges were laid, according to Israeli Police. The field that was being plowed had been totally cleared of the Palestinian farmer’s olive trees. B’TSELEM reports that tens of thousands of olive trees have been destroyed in the West Bank by the Israeli army and the settlers.

As it was mentioned in the last post, I throughly recomend [B’Tselem](http://www.btselem.org/) (the predominantly Jewish Israeli, Israeli Information Centre for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories), it is an excellent primary source of information and has a very detailed account of the olive harvest and other human rights abuses commited by Israeli citizens and soldiers and the collusion or failure to act of the Israeli governmenbt in these situations.
