Zionist
Blooming the Desert, Myth, or Reality?
Zionism is an ideology of
myth. One of their biggest myths was blooming the desert. Anyone who is
familiar with the Mediterranean
climate knows that there is not one single desert along the
Mediterranean shorelines. There are inland deserts in many of the countries
bounding the Mediterranean, Palestine had the smallest, Negev desert.
However,
from time immemorial, the majority of Palestine hills have been the natives of
great olive trees
and shorelines bloomed with the blossom of orange trees. That is until the
creation of the state of Israel which turned the famous Yaffa citrus into a
large calendar concrete blocks, otherwise known as Tel Aviv. Before bestowing
the Hebrew name as they did for native villages and town across Palestine. The
original name for this beautiful location was known as Tel al Rabiee. In Arabic
it means the hills of Spring.
Now,
flocks of Israeli settlers
are replacing the olive trees with new concrete blocks throughout the hills in
the West Bank. And as
if that is not enough, the settlers are attacking Palestinian farmers during
one of the most important farming season, olive picking, and burning old olive
trees. During a two week period, the last week of October and the first week on
November alone, illegal Israeli settlers mounted at least 28 attacks against
Palestinian farmers and olive groves.
In the village of Tel by Nablus, they burned
2000 olive, and in Kfr Laf by the Palestinian town of Qalqilia they burned 1000
trees. In other towns the armed settlers uprooted more than 350 olive trees and
in the village of Kfr Kadum settlers appropriated the village’s entire olive yield.
Meanwhile,
Palestine’s only desert, Negev, remains a desert while the historical greenery
that brought fame to Palestine such as its olive and citrus have either
vanished or fast disappearing under the footsteps of the armed flock of
settlers.
Alas,
blooming the desert fairytale is just one of the Zionists’ labyrinth of myths
that has duped the West for 62 years.
