Hi,
No, fig trees have rights. From Deuteronomy 20:19 When you lay siege to a city for a long time, fighting against it to capture it, do not destroy its trees by putting an ax to them, because you can eat their fruit. Do not cut them down. Are the trees of the field people, that you should besiege them?
Now, people on the other hand: (Deuteronomy 20:16) However, in the cities of the nations the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the LORD your God has commanded you.
So, quit spreading those lies. It's only people and livestock (and the occasional pet) that god hates, he loves trees.
