Rabbi Dov Lior, a prominent Israeli rabbi, issued a Jewish ruling on Friday permitting settlers to steal olives from Palestinian olive groves in the occupied West Bank. The ruling claims that Palestinian landowners have received sufficient compensation in previous years when Israeli restrictions prevented them from harvesting olives, and allows Jews to pick these olives to assert ownership over Palestinian land. Lior even categorized this act as an "additional virtue." This move comes amid a wave of settler attacks on Palestinian farmers, with at least 19 people injured in 34 attacks on Friday.
