Premium Member Sacrifice
Sacrifice I was one of many on the Mount of Olives and every year produced batches of black olives. Sweet and black, my olives were prized near and far and my owner would always brag about his favorite tree. I was one of the first to be planted and was king of the grove.

Premium Member An Olive Branch

Premium Member Olive Groves and Windchimes
On April seventh there'll be an anniversary. Not one in which we celebrate with balloons or confetti... sweet cakes, songs or garish parades. It will be 6 serrated months, since terrorist raped Mother Israel. Sprayed the olive groves with her blood.
