The path to peace in the Middle East might be navigated not via a dove carrying an olive branch but by a lowly barn owl.

Barn owls have been used in Israel since 1982 as an alternative to toxic chemicals for killing voles, which at the time plagued Israeli agricultural fields. The preferred chemical against rodents – known as compound 1080 – had been banned a decade earlier in the United States, although not in Israel.

Ornithologist Yossi Leshem thought that owls might be able to control the rodents more naturally.

Leshem set up an experiment at Kibbutz Sde Eliyahu in 1983. Three decades later, the barn owl approach has spread throughout the Palestinian territories and into Jordan as well.

“Birds have the power to bring people together, because they know no boundaries,” says Leshem, who teaches at Tel Aviv University.

That’s in part how 22 participants from 10 governments (including Egypt, Tunisia, Morocco, Cyprus, Greece, France and Switzerland in addition to Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Jordan) came together in January to share research from their barn owl vs. rodent experiences.

That goes without saying, in so many ways.

Cuba is an interesting read on this subject. At the fall of the Soviet Union, They lost fertilizers, pest control chemicals, etc.. They are at the forefront of "organic" farming.

Hamas has also done a lot of work in rain fed, organic farming.

Oh, yeah. Islamic terrorist retrogrades are always my first choice for technical data on science and technology issues.

I understand that ISIS has also done credible work in the field of organic farming. They publish in the journal Nature quite often.

You might have known he'd show up.

He probably thinks the owls are Zionists.

People all over the world have been developing and improving agricultural production for hundreds of years.

Israel likes to swoop in and take credit for everything.

Yep, apparently Israel doesn't even exist,
nevertheless he comes here daily (for 9 years) to blame Israel for a fly on his nose.

I am surprised the Muslims don’t kill these birds claiming them to be Israeli spies

That doesn't negate Israel use of depleted uranium munitions.
