SHould Israeli settlers be allowed to build decent homes to replace the Palestinian mud huts?

Question

http://www.jpost.com/VideoArticles/Article.aspx?id=189308

Israel has turned a barren wasteland into a vibrant, green productive nation. Should the world community let them annex more of the barren desert and replace the mud huts and abject poverty with productivty, crops and a much higher standard of living.
Would allowing more land to be converted into something productive not only benefit the Jewish people,but also the Arab who can then work for decent wages instead of sitting under a cardboard shelter smoking hemp all day?

Answer 1

I though the land was part of what was called the fertile crescent when I was in school and in church it was called the promised land , and now it is a barren wasteland, I think I missed something

Answer 2

The Israelis are expanding then building giant walls around the annexed parts.



That is half the problem. It's almost like a concentrated effort to so fragment the Palestinian would-be nation state with settlements and subsequent walls so as to make a 2 state solution practically impossible. The Israelis have zero interest in investing in the Palestinian people or their standard of living, they just want their land.

Answer 3

Are you serious, the J post? LOL. Um, yeah, and Fox News is the light of journalism.



The Palestinians do not live in mud huts, they live in incredibly beautiful and intricate stone homes that have lasted for centuries. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Interior_of_the_House_of_a_Christian_Family_in_Jerusalem.jpg

They have been forced to live in refugee camps and other homes because they have been KICKED out of their homes. They have been exiled.



A barren wasteland? You know absolutely nothing about the history and geography of Palestine - NOTHING. Have you picked up a few books? Or do you go by the propaganda you're fed? Your ignorance and bigotry is appalling.



Israel is an apartheid, fascist, terrorist, rogue state...and should get the hell out of Palestine. Long live the Palestinian revolution. There will be justice.



The Israelis turned Palestine into a barren wasteland, with their ugly wall, their ugly settlements, their checkpoints and barbed wire. Please read and wake up.

Answer 4

You think the settlers are taking useless scrubland and turning it into an oasis? You honestly believe that they would chose the worst possible parts? lol

They chose the high points my dear and the areas with the best water access and they cut down olive trees that have been harvested for generations because they want to destroy any semblance of Palestinian culture.



Use, use , use. That's what destroys the planet.



If the Palestinians want to live an agrarian lifestyle it's their prerogative. Next you'll be assuming that the settlers are doing their dirty work for the good of humanity.

Answer 5

initially.. its rather humorous how a few Israelis listed here are seeking to persuade u that they r preserving the arabs considering that they (the Israelis) are well humans.. If thats the cause at the back of preserving them, then why within the hell have you ever killed and did massacres and destroying and used tanks, guns, and many others.. in 1948.. to take a land that u weren`t in. besides.. they may be able to`t push a thousand,000 arab out of Israel considering that as you'll be able to see "a thousand,000" is a large quantity, and it represents one 5th of Israelis residents.. so Israel is without problems f*cked up simply at the day they might suppose of having those a thousand,000 out of Israel

Answer 6

You fail to realize Israel is an Apartheid state and my tax dollars are being used to prop up that state.Its not right, and needs to stop.



We divested in South Africa to make them stop, why aren't the same methods being done to Israel?

Answer 7

No. Being better off at this point just means bad things about someone.

The Israeli's are better dressed, but the agressors, just the same.

Answer 8

And they should crush all the people that live there already, just push them into the sea... right?



You need to visit the wizard and ask him for a heart...

Answer 9

So you think it is ok for somebody to kick you out of your home because they are going to build a mansion or something bigger and better than your home.

Answer 10

NO!



You clearly know nothing about the reality of that situation.
