Trump Fed Up Funding Palestinians

[ForeverYoung436]

Yes computerized drip irrigation is an Israeli technology now being implemented in Africa and India.
And cherry tomatoes are too an Israeli development. There're a lot of species, no one is saying Israel invented the small tomato, they've developed their own kind of tomato with its unique properties.

Sassshhh! Don't bring up the truth and facts, our resident PaliNazi internet jihadist has a strong allergy to them.

You are such a dumbass... You speak of truth then try and tell every one that Israel invented drip irrigation and cherry tomatoes

Why do you insist on showing your ignorance and stupidity?

Simcha Blass
Biography
Simcha Blass was born in Warsaw, Poland, which was then part of the Russian Empire, to an Orthodox Jewish family. He was active in the Jewish self-defense units organized in Warsaw to defend Jews during the end of World War I. His engineering studies in Warsaw were interrupted by the Polish-Soviet War and completed after that war. During the war, he was recruited to the Polish Army, there he invented for the Polish Air Force, a meteorological appliance, measuring the intensity and direction of winds.

Later, he invented, patented and developed an operative wheat planting machine, which was tested in Europe (and even sold there) and in Palestine (1927), but proved uneconomical. The main motivation for this invention was Zionism (i.e. enabling more Jews settle in Palestine). Zionism was the main drive for most of his other activities in adult life.

Water engineering in the Yishuv and State of Israel
During the years 1930–1948 he was the most known water engineer in the Jewish Yishuv of Palestine. He planned the first modern aqueduct in the Jordanvalley. He was the chief engineer and one of the founders (with Levi Eshkol and Pinchas Sapir) of Mekorot water company (established 1937, now Israel's national water company).

checking the sabotaged water pipeline to the Negev isolated settlements,1948
Later, in 1946, he planned the first water pipeline to the Negev. The pipes for which had been used in London during The Blitz for extinguishing fire and bought by Blass after World War II. This pipeline enabled the establishment of 11 new Jewish settlements in the Negev(which was under the British Mandate of Palestine) on a single evening (Yom Kippur night) in 1946 (but also served Arab Bedouins). The Jewish settlements in the Negev had a major role influencing the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) to include most of the Negev within the boundaries of the recommended Jewish state.

In 1948 to 1956 Blass was the founder and director of the governmental water institutions of the new state of Israel, the official councillor of the governmenton water affairs and head of planners of the Israeli National Water Carrier.

Blass wrote the chapter "Development of Water Resources in Palestine" in Encyclopaedia Hebraica.

Drip irrigation
In the early 1930s, a farmer drew his attention to a big tree, growing in his backyard "without water". After digging below the apparently dry surface, Simcha Blass discovered why: water from a leaking coupling was causing a small wet area on the surface, while an expanding onion shaped area of underground water was reaching the roots of this particular tree—and not the others. This sight of tiny drops penetrating the soil causing the growth of a giant tree provided the catalyst for Blass's invention. The drip irrigation concept was born and experiments that followed led Blass to create an irrigation device that used friction and water pressure loss to leak drops of water at regular intervals. Recognizing the high potential of his discovery, he began to look for ways to turn his idea into a product.

In the late 1950s, with the advent of modern plastics during and after World War II, he took a major step towards implementing his idea. After leaving government service in 1956 he reopened his private Engineering office and worked with his son Yeshayahu on the drip irrigation idea. The main aspect of the new invention was to release water through larger and longer passageways (rather than tiny holes) by using friction to slow water inside a plastic emitter. Larger passageways prevented the blocking of tiny holes by very small particles. The first experimental system of this type was established in 1959. In the early 1960s, Blass developed and patented this method and the new dripper was the first practical surface drip irrigation emitter.

During the years 1960 to 1965 Blass developed the drip-irrigation systems and sold them inside Israel and abroad. In 1965 he contacted Arie Bahir who was in charge of the industry in the kibbutzim in order to find a kibbutz to give him the task of further developing this new enterprise. Out of some suggestions, Blass chose kibbutz Hazerim in the Negev.

Online dripper system
For the desert-based Kibbutz Hatzerim looking to expand its activities beyond agriculture, Simcha Blass's invention opened up a world of possibilities. Blass and his son Yeshayahu and Kibbutz Hatzerim signed a contract (on August 10, 1965) establishing Netafim Irrigation Company (80% Kibbutz Hatzerim and 20% Blass). Production began in 1966. With Blass's original narrow spaghetti tube model and later models as the starting point, Netafim engineers working with Blass, developed the online dripper—indeed allowing the desert to bloom.

Roodboy, why do you continue with this hasbara bullshit?

Your use of wikipedia is hilariously telling. You are so sucked in by the hasbara bullshit media machine you are struggling with reality.

Let me make it very clear for you...

Israel did NOT invent cherry tomatoes (South America)
Israel did NOT invent drip irrigation (China)

End of story.

If you had even half a brain you would know that this is fact. Unlike the hasbara bullshit that came up with these two strangely bizarre claims to try and show how 'great' Israel is.

Roudy supported his (and my) theory with proof. Humanity, where is YOUR proof that China developed drip irrigation?

Unless your proof are the words "End of story." I hope you are not an attorney.

 

[Sixties Fan]

Hasbara has done a good job on you roodboy!

How about you stop your bullshitting about what Israel DIDN'T do!

Drip irrigation and cherry tomatoes "Israels great achievements"?

Has to be the funniest joke I have heard in a very long time!

Talk about misinformation and "fake news"!

Ah wait, you love all that "fake news" BS don't you... Your beloved leader is full of it!

Yes computerized drip irrigation is an Israeli technology now being implemented in Africa and India.

Call it whatever you like.
In both cases Israeli ingenuity is responsible for both items being able to be globally, commercially viable.
Israel does not say that it discovered Cherry Tomatoes, or drip irrigation.
If you do bother to do the research, Israel is responsible for finding a way where the whole world can enjoy both, whereas before, only few did.

-------

A British grower named Bernard Sparkes began experimenting with a variety of cherry tomato called the “Gardener’s Delight” to try and produce a commercial breed of cherry tomato, while Israeli scientists bred the seeds to grow in uniform rows and last longer on shelves. Meanwhile, Marks & Spencer began selling cherry tomatoes in its produce section, kicking off a worldwide craze for the flavorful little tomatoes, Wexler says.

You wish to crow about Arab contribution to the world, there is a thread for it on this forum.

Would you like to tell us what the Arabs in Gaza and the P.A. have done to help their population and what have they contributed to the rest of the world that they deserve to continue to be funded not only by the US, but the EU and the Arab countries which have slowly, but surely, stopped contributing for their welfare, since most of the money is not used for infrastructure and the population's well being, but to dig tunnels, buy anything which can be turned into rockets to be fired at Israel, etc, etc?

Why doesn't Gaza have its own infrastructure for electricity, sewer, water, etc?

Why doesn't the P. A, in areas A and B of Judea and Samaria?

How long is too long?

Sorry for the use of wikipedia but it seems to be fitting your lack of knowledge...

Drip irrigation - Wikipedia

Primitive drip irrigation has been used since ancient times. Fan Sheng-Chih Shu (氾勝之書), written in China during the first century BCE, describes the use of buried, unglazed clay pots filled with water as a means of irrigation.[1][2] Modern drip irrigation began its development in Germany in 1860 when researchers began experimenting with subsurface irrigation using clay pipe to create combination irrigation and drainage systems.[3]

And here is the piece the piece that I am sure you will pick out from the article...

Usage of a plastic emitter in drip irrigation was developed in Israel by Simcha Blass and his son Yeshayahu.[5] Instead of releasing water through tiny holes easily blocked by tiny particles, water was released through larger and longer passageways by using velocity to slow water inside a plastic emitter. The first experimental system of this type was established in 1959 by Blass who partnered later (1964) with Kibbutz Hatzerim to create an irrigation company called Netafim. Together they developed and patented the first practical surface drip irrigation emitter.[3][4]

You will see from reading, if you can, that it was developed NOT invented as you claim!

I notice that you are pushing just ONE of the claims you made and seem to be ignoring the "invention" of cherry tomatoes by Israel... Do you want me to prove you wrong on that as well or do you already realise your mistake?

So, to go back to the comment you responded to....

Israel did NOT invent cherry tomatoes (South America)
Israel did NOT invent drip irrigation (China)

Thank you and good night...

 

[Humanity]

Israel does not say that it discovered Cherry Tomatoes, or drip irrigation.

Well, oddly enough, it does!

Hasbara made this wonderful claim that is, clearly, still supported by some Team Israel supporters, and is also, clearly, false!

I am simply correcting those who believe this ridiculous claim by Israel!

And of course, the rest of your post is not relevant to the "invention" cherry tomatoes or drip irrigation

Somehow, I feel that the Chinese should be the ones exporting drip irrigation to the world.
But it does not.....and there is a reason for it.
They did not develop what Israel develop.
The same goes to cherry tomatoes and anything else Israel became innovative enough to be able to turn it into a global and not just local production.

Roodboy, why do you continue with this hasbara bullshit?

Your use of wikipedia is hilariously telling. You are so sucked in by the hasbara bullshit media machine you are struggling with reality.

Let me make it very clear for you...

Israel did NOT invent cherry tomatoes (South America)
Israel did NOT invent drip irrigation (China)

End of story.

If you had even half a brain you would know that this is fact. Unlike the hasbara bullshit that came up with these two strangely bizarre claims to try and show how 'great' Israel is.

Roudy supported his (and my) theory with proof. Humanity, where is YOUR proof that China developed drip irrigation?

Ha ha, don't hold your breath for that one!

 

[Humanity]

Cherry tomatoes? Drip irrigation....

Seems Team Israel needs to do a few things...

1) Learn history. It's fascinating!
2) Stop bitching when you claim that Palestinians try to change history because that's exactly what you are trying to do.
3) At least come to an agreement between yourselves before contradicting each other.
4) Accept that "development" and "Invention" are two completely different things.

There is no doubting Israels ability to "develpe" but to make wildly false an wholly inaccurate claims will always make you look dumb!

 

[Humanity]

Sassshhh! Don't bring up the truth and facts, our resident PaliNazi internet jihadist has a strong allergy to them.

You are such a dumbass... You speak of truth then try and tell every one that Israel invented drip irrigation and cherry tomatoes

Why do you insist on showing your ignorance and stupidity?

Simcha Blass
Biography
Simcha Blass was born in Warsaw, Poland, which was then part of the Russian Empire, to an Orthodox Jewish family. He was active in the Jewish self-defense units organized in Warsaw to defend Jews during the end of World War I. His engineering studies in Warsaw were interrupted by the Polish-Soviet War and completed after that war. During the war, he was recruited to the Polish Army, there he invented for the Polish Air Force, a meteorological appliance, measuring the intensity and direction of winds.

Later, he invented, patented and developed an operative wheat planting machine, which was tested in Europe (and even sold there) and in Palestine (1927), but proved uneconomical. The main motivation for this invention was Zionism (i.e. enabling more Jews settle in Palestine). Zionism was the main drive for most of his other activities in adult life.

Water engineering in the Yishuv and State of Israel
During the years 1930–1948 he was the most known water engineer in the Jewish Yishuv of Palestine. He planned the first modern aqueduct in the Jordanvalley. He was the chief engineer and one of the founders (with Levi Eshkol and Pinchas Sapir) of Mekorot water company (established 1937, now Israel's national water company).

checking the sabotaged water pipeline to the Negev isolated settlements,1948
Later, in 1946, he planned the first water pipeline to the Negev. The pipes for which had been used in London during The Blitz for extinguishing fire and bought by Blass after World War II. This pipeline enabled the establishment of 11 new Jewish settlements in the Negev(which was under the British Mandate of Palestine) on a single evening (Yom Kippur night) in 1946 (but also served Arab Bedouins). The Jewish settlements in the Negev had a major role influencing the United Nations Special Committee on Palestine (UNSCOP) to include most of the Negev within the boundaries of the recommended Jewish state.

In 1948 to 1956 Blass was the founder and director of the governmental water institutions of the new state of Israel, the official councillor of the governmenton water affairs and head of planners of the Israeli National Water Carrier.

Blass wrote the chapter "Development of Water Resources in Palestine" in Encyclopaedia Hebraica.

Drip irrigation
In the early 1930s, a farmer drew his attention to a big tree, growing in his backyard "without water". After digging below the apparently dry surface, Simcha Blass discovered why: water from a leaking coupling was causing a small wet area on the surface, while an expanding onion shaped area of underground water was reaching the roots of this particular tree—and not the others. This sight of tiny drops penetrating the soil causing the growth of a giant tree provided the catalyst for Blass's invention. The drip irrigation concept was born and experiments that followed led Blass to create an irrigation device that used friction and water pressure loss to leak drops of water at regular intervals. Recognizing the high potential of his discovery, he began to look for ways to turn his idea into a product.

In the late 1950s, with the advent of modern plastics during and after World War II, he took a major step towards implementing his idea. After leaving government service in 1956 he reopened his private Engineering office and worked with his son Yeshayahu on the drip irrigation idea. The main aspect of the new invention was to release water through larger and longer passageways (rather than tiny holes) by using friction to slow water inside a plastic emitter. Larger passageways prevented the blocking of tiny holes by very small particles. The first experimental system of this type was established in 1959.

Drip irrigation - Wikipedia

Primitive drip irrigation has been used since ancient times. Fan Sheng-Chih Shu (氾勝之書), written in China during the first century BCE, describes the use of buried, unglazed clay pots filled with water as a means of irrigation.[1][2] Modern drip irrigation began its development in Germany in 1860 when researchers began experimenting with subsurface irrigation using clay pipe to create combination irrigation and drainage systems.[3]

And here is the piece the piece that I am sure you will pick out from the article...

Usage of a plastic emitter in drip irrigation was developed in Israel by Simcha Blass and his son Yeshayahu.[5] Instead of releasing water through tiny holes easily blocked by tiny particles, water was released through larger and longer passageways by using velocity to slow water inside a plastic emitter. The first experimental system of this type was established in 1959 by Blass who partnered later (1964) with Kibbutz Hatzerim to create an irrigation company called Netafim. Together they developed and patented the first practical surface drip irrigation emitter.[3][4]

You will see from reading, if you can, that it was developed NOT invented as you claim!

I notice that you are pushing just ONE of the claims you made and seem to be ignoring the "invention" of cherry tomatoes by Israel... Do you want me to prove you wrong on that as well or do you already realise your mistake?

So, to go back to the comment you responded to....

[Sixties Fan]

Israel does not say that it discovered Cherry Tomatoes, or drip irrigation.

Well, oddly enough, it does!

Hasbara made this wonderful claim that is, clearly, still supported by some Team Israel supporters, and is also, clearly, false!

I am simply correcting those who believe this ridiculous claim by Israel!

And of course, the rest of your post is not relevant to the "invention" cherry tomatoes or drip irrigation

Oddly enough, I cannot find one article which has China, nor Argentina complaining or suing about their inventions, and not giving credit to Israel where it is due.

You seem to just want to throw the word Hasbara (Explanation) around because you have such desdain for any pro Israel person saying anything nice about Israel's achievements.

According to some research I have done, it is said that the cherry tomatoes come from Peru or Chile (Argentina is not mentioned) and was first domesticated in Mexico.

It truly does not matter where tomatoes really come from. Or drip irrigation. It is not what Israel says, even if anyone of us may have said so.

No need, WHATSOEVER, to do - as you do - which is to attempt to demean any one of us, instead of simply providing your researched
facts and the sources about what is being discussed.

Israel did not "invent" drip irrigation, cherry tomatoes or many other things?

Israel is surely responsible for how it has developed those inventions and how many countries are being helped, or enjoying them.

Israeli company says it has developed tiniest cherry tomato

WHY should anyone in the world continue to fund UNWRA, the P. A, or any other Palestinian organization if they are capable of NOTHING which is of any worth to the rest of the world?

That is what this thread is about.

Cherry tomatoes? Drip irrigation....

Seems Team Israel needs to do a few things...

1) Learn history. It's fascinating!
2) Stop bitching when you claim that Palestinians try to change history because that's exactly what you are trying to do.
3) At least come to an agreement between yourselves before contradicting each other.
4) Accept that "development" and "Invention" are two completely different things.

There is no doubting Israels ability to "develpe" but to make wildly false an wholly inaccurate claims will always make you look dumb!

You made it sound that it was the most bizarre and absurd statement in the world that Israel had ANYTHING to do with these 2 items, when it was confirmed that Israel was indeed involved very extensively with these 2 items, ESPECIALLY with drip irrigation.

No, sorry, you are wrong...

I simply pointed out your erroneous claim that Israel INVENTED cherry tomatoes and drip irrigation.

I have corrected your mistake, that has also been backed up by Sixties Fan.

Unfortunately, now that your error has been shown we now have a fool squeaking and squirming to try and STILL prove your error...

That's where it all gets seriously boring. Fact is fact and no amount of crying by roodboy will change that.

Israel has successfully "developed" a great many things that is accepted but please, correcting a claim, with historical evidence. I think that is enough.

endless foul language

Care to provide links to that?

Well, you can provide one but then, the idiot known as roodboy would make jesus himself swear.

As for the rest of your comment, simple deflection.

I don't feel that correcting an error is scoring points, it's helping!

I am seriously bored with the blatant attempts by Team Israel who are involved in the great tomato and irrigation debate!

Cherry tomatoes - South America
Drip Irrigation - China

Israel may have developed drip irrigation using modern techniques but they certainly did NOT invent it.

The real point here is that Israel is always trying to positively improve the world, while the Palestinians who are a microcosm of the larger Arab world, does nothing but negatively affect the world. Even Iranian scientists can only use their smarts to build an atomic bomb. So is the Palestinian contribution to the world suicide vests? Oh yeah, oil doesn't count. The Arabs didn't put it there.

According to some research I have done, it is said that the cherry tomatoes come from Peru or Chile (Argentina is not mentioned) and was first domesticated in Mexico.

Care to show me where I ever made a claim about "Argentina"? Seems you are making things up again!

You seem to just want to throw the word Hasbara (Explanation) around because you have such desdain for any pro Israel person saying anything nice about Israel's achievements.

A disdain for a media machine that lies... Justified I think... How's your disdain for Al Jazeera?

 

[Humanity]

The real point here is that

...hasbara has been caught telling lies and that you believed the lies without thought.

Roudy may have used the wrong word, so sorry.......

But it is you who are endlessly trying to make fun (your funny clicks are hilarious ) of it instead of showing us how South America and China, not only invented or created those two items, but ended up developing them and making them a global necessity which helped them improve their economy and exports.

Instead......it is Israel's Start up Nation developed what was necessary and made both available to the countries where they came from.

So, we are happy with Israel's accomplishments. South America is happy with Israel's accomplishments, and China feels the same as there is an Israel plant (not the other way around) for drip irrigation.

It does not matter who invented electricity, what matters is who got the patent for it. And both the USA and France take credit for it.


And....when you say Goodnight.....mean it.
