They(the farmers) are losing their land. It's being stolen by Israel. It's being walled away from them. Hence my statement that Israel is a thieving nation of the same ilk as Zimbabwe.

Just read the last section of your source. "Israelis convicted for helping bomber Meanwhile, the Tel Aviv District Court yesterday sentenced two 22-year-old residents of Lod to lengthy jail terms for helping a suicide bomber. Hafez Makbel was sentenced to 15 years and Mussa Hassona received 10 years. The two were convicted under a plea bargain in which they confessed to helping to perpetrate an attack that wounded two soldiers last February. According to their confession, Fawzi Marad, a member of Yasser Arafat's presidential guard, Force 17, called Makbel on February 27 and asked him to pick up a Russian woman at the Qalandiyah roadblock and take her into Israel. Makbel said that Marad promised him NIS 20,000. At 10 P.M., Makbel and Hassona picked up their passenger - who proved to be a resident of Ramallah rather than a Russian - and began driving her to the Jaffa police station, where Marad had told them to take her. At 10:30 P.M., however, they were stopped by soldiers at the Maccabim roadblock. The soldiers asked to see their identity cards, and when the woman could not produce one, they ordered her out of the car. At that point, she set off the bomb in her knapsack, wounding two of the soldiers."
