Palestinian and Israeli Gardens

In my article The Difference Between Israelis and Palestinians I pointed out that in Israeli fairy tales the story ends with peace between natural enemies while in Palestinian fairy tales the story ends with the death of the Jews and Israel wiped off the map.
Today I would like to point out the difference between Palestinian and Israeli Gardens.
The photo here is of Mount Tabor in 1912 when the Ottoman Turks were in charge; a desolate, barren, inhospitable desert. However from Biblical times until their arrival, Mount Tabor was entirely covered with vegetation. When the Turks arrived, they began to deforest the land and overgraze the plains with their animals.
[A bit of trivia:] Between the Arab on horse and Mount Tabor (in the distance) is Jezreel Valley where the Battle of Megiddo was fought. In Christian Eschatology, this part of the valley is believed to be destined to be the site of a final battle, between good and evil, known as Armageddon.
When the Jews regained control of Israel they began to reforest the area. Today, most of Mount Tabor is covered with pine trees.
Here is what the area around Mount Tabor looks like now:

"But wait, Bernie," some of my readers may complain, "It's not fair to judge poor Arabs who had no help with the land as Israelis had from philanthropic American Jews."
Let's examine that notion: in 2005 Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip, leaving millions of dollars of hydroponic vegetable growing facilities and warehouses as a goodwill gesture from American Jews to the Palestinians 1. Those facilities would have provided the Palestinians with tens of thousands of jobs and would have fed all of Gaza.
How did the Gaza Palestinians treat the more than 3,000 greenhouses?

I am an Atheist, but I have to admire the Jewish settlers who farmed in Gaza because they treated the land as a gift from God. The Palestinians treat their own land as a disease-ridden step-child 2. They are a scourge upon the Earth as well as upon mankind.
This article is dedicated to all the idiot Jews who believe one can make peace with locusts.
