A Palestinian woman carries a branch from a destroyed olive tree as Israeli border police officers watch

A Palestinian woman carries a branch from a destroyed olive tree as Israeli border police officers watch in the West Bank village of Salem near Nablus November 27, 2005. Jewish settlers cut down and uprooted hundreds of olive trees on Palestinian farms near the West Bank city of Nablus on Sunday, residents and Israeli police said. Settlers from the most radical enclaves in the occupied West Bank have often attacked farms since the start of the Palestinian uprising in 2000. Settlers say that the land, which Palestinians want for a state, is theirs by biblical birthright. REUTERS/Abed Omar Qusini
