Leave it to Jews on both sides of the political debate to make a mess of things on the New Year of the Trees. ShamirPower of Jewschool offers some nice productive ways to plant trees this year in an environmentally sustainable way.
Meanwhile two groups in the West Bank are truly making a mess of things, and neither side seems innocent. They occupy, aggrevate, agitate and in the end uproot an orchard and poorly plant another. The earth is crying and trees are dying and this is how they behave. Shame.
***Update***
I read this and got warm fuzzies about Rabbis replanting Palistinaian Olive trees.
