It would be good to know, but the moral of the story is the same. Palestinians grew thriving orchards of apricots, olives, dates, figs, grapes, and wild pears in addition to the oranges and pomegranates. Israel now claims them as their own, although they destroyed more trees and crops than they have planted.
The Israelis have always been arrogant ecological and environmental vandals. They have depleted the aquifers to fill the swimming pools of illegal colonists and they have uprooted ancient, truly ancient orchards. Not only that, they have poisoned the soil with their bombs, white phosphorus and chemical warfare.
Thanks. I changed the caption to make it more general. I am not sure from looking at pomegranate orchards that it is one. Heavily pruned citrus is still possible but thanks for all the input.
Well I was not sure but it was close enough. I have had a bit of a look since and there is still the chance it is pruned citrus. Maybe the Palestinians do that to reduce the crop because they have so much trouble harvesting with settlers shooting at them that less fruit is easier.
I suspect given the fearful nature of humans, a lot of people are not going to applaud the pager bombing of civilians. It is totally sick and evil but it will be a test of how much sick and evil the average human can tolerate.
Thanks. I did wonder but the image was sent to me. What do you think they are?

Not sure. Heavily pruned, could be any stone fruit, or may be pomegranate.

It's okay. Blame me.

Exploding pagers may have pruned them.

Another harbinger for all our futures. I wish everyone would understand that.
Most people do not think. Some cannot think. Ever thus no doubt.
Yep, definitely look like pruned pomegranate to me. I have some growing in my garden here in Southern Spain
