British magazine buys olive trees ‘in Palestine’ for new subscribers
By Jonny Paul,
The New Statesman, a respected weekly current affairs magazine, is offering readers the chance to sponsor “the planting of three new olive trees in Palestine,” as incentive to take out a subscription to the magazine.
