Israeli chainsaw massacre
Men with chainsaws turned Fawzi Hussein's olive grove into a wasteland overnight — 255 trees cut down at the trunks, fruit-laden branches wilting on a West Bank slope, at the height of the harvest season. The suspected culprits: militant settlers who have been harassing Palestinian farmers for years, especially in the past three years of fighting. Human rights groups say it is part of an attempt to drive Palestinians off their land.

About 5 years, minimum. Those bastards.

The sick thing about all this is that that farmers kins are now destitute...thus far more likely to become suicide bombers.
