People from both sides of the conflict have posted photos with the hashtag #JewsAndArabsRefuseToBeEnemies.

George Harrison Memorial Tree killed by actual beetles

Oh, the irony! A tree planted in memory of Beatles great George Harrison died recently after an infestation of beetles.

Yes, the George Harrison tree was killed by beetles.

According to the Los Angeles Times, it was planted in 2004 near Griffith Observatory in memory of Harrison who spent his last years in Los Angeles.

As of 2013, the pine had grown to more than 10 feet tall.

A councilman told the LA Times that the tree will be "replanted shortly."

Columnist Jimmy Orr tweeted a photo of the plaque next to the tree.

It reads: "In memory of a great humanitarian who touched the world as an artist, a musician and a gardener." It includes a quote from the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi: "For the forest to be green, each tree must be green"

The buggiest of ironies.
