When Israel arrives to destroy more olive groves or move boundaries, it is not only the Palestinians that are demonstrating, there are many Israel citizens there as well. Palestinians are not alone in their desire for a peace and Palestinian homeland; there are many Israeli citizens that want the same thing.
