"But wait, Bernie," some of my readers may complain, "It's not fair to judge poor Arabs who had no help with the land as Israelis had from philanthropic American Jews."
Let's examine that notion: in 2005 Israel with*drew from the Gaza Strip, leaving millions of dollars of hydro*ponic veg*etable grow*ing facil*i*ties and ware*houses as a goodwill ges*ture from American Jews to the Palestinians.1 Those facil*i*ties would have pro*vided the Pales*tini*ans with tens of thousands of jobs and would have fed all of Gaza.
How did the Gaza Palestinians treat the more than 3,000 greenhouses?
[They destoyed them all!]
I am an Atheist, but I have to admire the Jewish settlers who farmed in Gaza because they treated the land as a gift from God. The Palestinians treat their own land as a disease-ridden step-child.2 They are a scourge upon the Earth as well as upon mankind.

Palestinian and Israeli Gardens from Planck's Constant
I can't believe people are still using that old propaganda.
"I couldn't believe it. Almost all of my crops are dead, and the rest is dying," Anita Tucker, one of the pioneer farmers of Jewish Gaza told WND. "I hope the Palestinians aren't expecting fresh produce. ... A fortune in crops is now all gone."
Israel shuts off water, dries Gaza greenhouses
It may be 'old propaganda' to you, but I must admit that I had never heard that before, that Israel turned off the water....
But that does not explain why the Palestinians destroyed millions of dollars worth of greenhouses....does it?
You did see the destruction in the pics in the link I provided in the last post?
"... unique greenhouses, a uniquely developed advanced technology was used to grow bug-free leafy vegetables and herbs answering to the strictest health, aesthetic and religious requirements.[citation needed] Most of the organic agricultural products were exported to Europe. In addition, the community of Atzmona had Israels largest plant nursery, and with 800 cows, the Katif dairy was the second largest in the country. Telesales and Printing were other notable industries.
The total sum of exports from the greenhouses of Gush Katif, which were owned by 200 farmers, came to $200,000,000 per year and made up 15% of the agricultural exports of the State of Israel.[citation needed]
The combined assets in Gush Katif were estimated at $23 billion."
All public buildings (schools, libraries, community centres, office buildings) as well as industrial buildings, factories and greenhouses which could not be taken apart were left intact."Gush Katif - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Does it make sense to you, Tinny?
Sure, Israel made the greenhouses useless so the Palestinians took what they needed to repair their stuff that Israel destroyed.
