      It is simultaneously the land of milk and honey promised to them by god and also a lifeless desert with no prior inhabitants, except them 3000 years ago they were there first, err I mean exclusively.

      A side effect of the Nakba was increased desertification of Palestine, because Isn'treal neither had the manpower, nor the knowledge of running the intricate water infrastructure of palestine after ethnically cleansing most of the place.

      Israel did not make the desert bloom, it made the larger.
