When olives rot on the trees while the olive branch is broken

There are reports that the harvest of olives in northern Israel is in jeopardy due to the Israel Hamas War.

The people living on the northern border with Lebanon were evacuated. Arab (Palestinian) and Thai farmhands are missing. Know you know why so many Thais were among the hostages.

The olive branch is a symbol of peace. It is associated with the customs of ancient Greece and ancient Rome, and is connected with supplication to gods and persons in power. Likewise, it is found in most cultures of the Mediterranean Basin and has become a near-universal peace symbol in the modern world. (Source)
