How have Israel "Made the desert Bloom"?

Question

When all around them the Arab/Muslim states still have the majority of their subjects living in mediaeval squalor ?
Is it because most of the Israelis stem from European stock ( post ww2 ) or is it the feudalistic nature of Islamic culture in the middle east?

Kamran......Your rant has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with the question I asked ! Nothing.

Seems to me peolple are just writing sh8t for the sake of it this morning GNOSTIC, what has all that garbage you have written got to do with Isreal making the desert bloom? and who is pointing fingers? For the record also......I am not American & I don't particularly agree with GWBs foriegn policy. So keep your nasty views for questions that pertain to them.

Kamran, Do you have comprehension of what you read. My question has nothing to do with how Arabs & Isrealis regard each other and even less to do with occupations and war. "The desert bloom"refers to the booming agriculture that is a large contributor to the economy of Isreal,Oranges and Avacados, Peaches, Grapes Melons etc are exported worldwide. my question was, If they can grow all this exotic stuff in an arid region, why can't their neighbours? Stop being so fixated on the problems you see & read every day on the news and in newspapers.

Answer 1

1) Israel is a world leader in hydroponics technology. It has very low water access, and thus has learnt how to work very well with what it has.
2) Jews value learning and research, This goes back millenia, so we see how many of the greatest Rabbis wrote books on subjects that were very advanced in their day. One such was the Rambam (Moses Maimonides) who wrote books on medicinal uses of herebs and treatment of sick patients- including things like rejecting blood letting and blaming spirits for disease, while advocating cleanliness and good nutrition. So a a culture with a leaning towards education and research is going to produce good scientific results- and we see how Israel is a major research area for high tech (Motorolla, AMD, Intel, Microsoft and others all have large portions of their R&D in Israel)- and agricultural research has been a focus of Israel.
3) Israel is the only country in the world to completely eradicate malaria and to have shrinking deserts. All through hard work, research and tenacity.

One fact you are wrong about though- the Sephardim are the majority, around 60% of the population (and they were a much larger percentage until the huge influx of Russian immigrants). Don;t forget that there were over 800,000 Jewish refugees from Arab countries, a fact the world and anti-Semities like to forget!

Answer 2

emphasis on the "annoying." Why can not they element to scriptures like Genesis 18:sixteen-19:29, Ezekiel sixteen:40 8-50, Jude 7, Romans a million:26-27, a million Corinthians 6:8-10, Colassians 3:5-6, and a million Timothy a million:9-10 particularly than scuffling with like playground babies and spewing lies like, "God hates fags," or that he's satisfied whilst they die (i.e. the Westboro Baptist Church). If that have been actual then Ezekiel 18:23 and 18:32, John 3:15-17, 2 Peter 3:8-9, and Romans 8:31-39 might could desire to be fake. :/ extraordinarily annoying...no longer humorous

Answer 3

AMERICAN MONEY!

America practically supports the country. However their borders seem to be getting larger as they resume with their land grab sysytems, forcing innocent Palestinian civilllians into refugee camps. This land is rich is resources, diamonds are mined here as well as natural deposots in the sea.

Also a lot of Pro Israeli companys have set up base here, investing large sums of money here.
Also many people are sponsored by wealthy businessman to live in Israel. The most recent example is where Iranian Jews were asked in return for origionally £2000 per person going uo to almost £10 000 per perosn to move to the country. However the patriotic Iranians refused and felt deisgusted at the offer.

Answer 4

How has America become the only super power with primitive tribes of red necks attacking people in the south and inner city society crumble in the blight of urban decay. The men that crafted America would be shamed by the children that will inherit it. America is the one nation I know of with the most potential legally and blessed with the resources to realize that potential. Yet your society has raised ignorance to a virtue. The Fonz was a classic example of what's wrong. You're cool president has stepped on one reasonable scientific field of endeavor after another.

With all that you would point your hypocritical finger at the middle east and claim moral superiority? I assume it justifies the blatant war for power in those oil fields. Oil we could do without if it weren't for a business infrastructure specifically designed to exploit those resources even if the results poison our world and kill our grandchildren.

Get ye behind me.

EDIT: LOL You sound like many people I've met from the South Eastern U.S. they sit in mobile homes complaining about the horrible morals of ___ and claim to be more civilized then lets say Romans, or French, or Spanish etc. And they are especially intolerant of Islamic countries. I've traveled and find the Arabs quite civilized. Kuwait City is an amazing place. I also know their tolerance for other religions is just to the right of Conservative Republican Christian fundamentalist, still its no reason to de humanize them. There are other dynamics. I've met people that have spent their entire life in a chained link fenced area no larger than the neighborhood I live in now. That is squalor but not a squalor that’s easily escaped from. I can’t judge those people, but for the grace of god and all that….
I’m simply not qualified to speak ill of such unfortunate people.

Answer 5

Having lived in Israel and marvelled at the wonders created by hard-working people,just go to Beer Sheva and see the thousands of rose bushes blooming in the desert before you enter the city. It isn't better soil or more water,it is the determination to succeed regardless of the obstacles and merits the respect of everyone.

Answer 6

ok, israel has occupied lebabanon and palestine for decades, the palestinians and lebabnese people wanted them out as they are killing and destroying alot of homes, so groups are made to remove them from thier land, its simple, same with afghan and iraq, leave thier land and it will stop sooner.

And a question which is always asked is why do arabs hate the israelies but they question of why the israelies hate the arabs is never asked

and people will be saying thier is no such thing as palestine, one thing , how did america and england get independence, a cup of tea??????????

EDIT: you seem to don't want to except the fact but want to blame the muslims for everyones problems, you seem to not have a proper answer to the points i just made

EDIT: do you belive Israel needs to be praised just because it grew a few oranges, pathetic attempt to hide the truth about the evil work of the Israel Government, look at saudi arabia or dubai, israel looks small compared to thier economy

Answer 7

They have worked at it.

They are of Semitic, not European, stock.
Shame about the racist implications of your question (based, like much racism, on inaccurate 'facts;')

Answer 8

That's due to many reasons:
The place they live has more natural resources than the sorrounding areas (better weather ,more water, better soil,..)
They have more money and that's firstly because of the better area and then America's support.
It does have to do with their better organising and exploitation of resources.

Answer 9

Um have you seen UAE or Saudi Arabia lately?
