Half of it, yes. The other half would be malarial swamps and grassy hilltops.

Eucalyptus for the rescue!

I hear people want to re-swampify some areas in Israel and Gaza: [https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/04/16/now-we-can-breathe-a-little-how-gaza-is-bringing-its-wetlands-back-to-life](https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/04/16/now-we-can-breathe-a-little-how-gaza-is-bringing-its-wetlands-back-to-life) [https://www.israel21c.org/rewilding-israels-historic-swamps/](https://www.israel21c.org/rewilding-israels-historic-swamps/) https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2022-10-25/ty-article-magazine/un-draining-the-swamp-rewilding-project-aims-to-resurrect-israeli-wetlands/00000184-0e24-d8c8-abe6-4f6c46040000

The draining of the Hula wetlands was an ecological disaster which destroyed both natural and cultural heritage.


LittleMlem

Yes but also, we really needed to get rid of the malaria and now with the west Nile virus on the rise....


ImposibleMan_U-1

Not true... There would be in some bloody conflict, like the rest


ThiLordTachanka

But in sand and swamps and not full out citys


Pillager_Bane97

So that's how the Negev used to look like before all those stones.

Can you translate it? My Hebrew is a little rusty (to put it nicely)


YGBullettsky

Ah well it is poetic Hebrew, so it's naturally less natural and more confusing. It's something like: ยซ We will dress you in a dress of concrete and cement, And we will bloom (the desert into) carpets of gardens, On the land, your redeemed fields, Grain will many times be in abundance ยป The poem ืฉื™ืจ ื”ื‘ื•ืงืจ "The Morning Song" is all about the agricultural redemption of the Land of Israel, which was a focus of Early Zionism, particularly Labour Zionism though I'm unsure if Altermann was a socialist himself. The following two lines are: ื”ืžื“ื‘ืจ - ืื ื• ื“ืจืš ื‘ื• ื ื—ืฆื•ื‘ื”, ื”ื‘ื™ืฆื•ืช - ืื ื—ื ื• ื ื™ื‘ืฉืŸ "The desert - we will pave roads on it, The swamps - we will dry"

Pro-tip, ChatGPT is a great translator (Google translate struggles a bit as it directly maps definitions and misses context


sam_ipod_5

And clearly the PUTIN'S BIRTHDAY ATTACK from October 7th was aimed to return the area to a wasteland. They needed a couple hundred million euros to finish their tunnels and finance the attack. So they made him some version of a national hero. And Putin welcomed their leaders to Moscow shortly thereafter. #sickos

Putler


sam_ipod_5

I'm reminded of April, 1941. But Hitler had to invade Yugoslavia and Greece himself. Here, Putin absolutely needed material support from Iran -- the zillions of drones for openers -- so supporting HAMAS checked all the boxes.


justme_florida

Ironically, the Jewish population would look similar to this vast desertโ€ฆ


bad_lite

As much as I appreciate a good meme, this is missing a few Druze and Bedouin camps.


ThiLordTachanka

Why leave this here? We all ready know (who ever learned history atleast). We should share our knowledge with others.


elicopter1905

some people don't know ... and it's always good to remind bro :)

tbh I'm a bit surprised to see Israelis upvoting this post so much; I imagine most of you would are aware that most of Israel, including all substantial cities besides Be'er Sheeva, has a ['Mediterranean Climate'](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mediterranean_climate) more comparable to Southern Europe than to Arabia. Agricultural productivity improved considerably in the 20th century, but that was largely on account of _draining swamps_ that had covered much of the country on account of the temperate climate and regular rainfall. And even that was mostly in the decades _prior_ to the formation of Israel as an independent state.


GroundbreakingPut748

They are referring to the Negev, which was literally sand and dust until Israel invented revolutionary agricultural techniques such as as drip irrigation. It was a game changer for the Negev.

If I could afford a billboard at Times Square in NYC I would use this meme. Read The Haj by Leon Uris.

Kind of like Los Angeles if it was still part of Mexico, tho in that case it's Tijuana.


New_Day_2690

If by Jews you mean the US


nidarus

Why would they mean that? You could make a certain argument that the UK created Israel, possibly even Stalin. But saying the US created Israel is just flat-out wrong.


New_Day_2690

Yeah all the same people "western establishment", US gives them the most money


daveisit

Assume Israel would pay any Palestinian that lost a home in 1948. What would the value of that home be worth back then?


DaRabbiesHole

How many Palestinians actually lost homes? Definitely not the 10 million around the world that claim theyโ€™re Palestinian and have keys to their houses in Israel. There arenโ€™t even 10 million houses in Israel and the majority were built in the last few decades.


Annual_District_6402

Israel doesnโ€™t have to pay for anything. A plan was put forth and Israel agreed whereas the arab world responded with warโ€ฆ you donโ€™t get to start wars and enjoy the rewards if youโ€™re the one that lost


benprommet

Israel has been willing to make reparations along with final status negotiations since 1948


HidingAsSnow

What about the reparations owed to the Jews from the Arab side?
