PA Farmers in Gaza: How Do Those Israelis Do It?<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Excerpts;<\/strong><\/p>\n

“After years of producing bug-free lettuce and other vegetables for Jewish farmers, the sands of Gaza have reverted to their old ways. PA farmers report failure in keeping the bugs away.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Gaza Arabs who have taken over the hothouses of what used to be Gush Katif reported to the Israel-PA Coordination Office that they have failed in raising bug-free vegetables.<\/strong>” <\/p>\n

“In addition, the PA workers complain that their wages from their compatriots and brethren are significantly lower now than what they received from the Israelis.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Farmers in Gush Katif were considered among Israel’s most successful; their total annual exports totaled $100 million, or 15% of Israel’s agricultural exports. Of Israel’s exports abroad, Gush Katif exported 95% of bug-free lettuce and greens, 70% of organic vegetables, 60% of cherry tomatoes, and 60% of geraniums to Europe. Israel’s largest plant nursery was in the Gush Katif community of Atzmonah. Other Katif produce included spices, green, red and yellow peppers, celery, and more.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

Commentary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nearly three months before the expulsion of 10,000 Jews from their homes in Gush Katif and the Shomron towns, this author wrote;
\n“What about the government’s precious sensitivity to world opinion — what the goyim will say if the Arabs, should they ever again ch”v have Gaza, try to develop agriculture, but the Land lays fallow? What will that do to “hasbara” as the Arabs accuse us before the world of sabotage?”<\/strong><\/p>\n

This was written, encorporated into a D’var Torah: <\/a>Parsha Bechukotai: Fingerprints of the Link: Hashem, the Jews and Eretz Yisrael<\/strong>.<\/a> <\/p>\n

It now seems that the prediction made at the end of May, 2005 is moving closer and closer to actualization.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
