Gaza Greenhouses
Greenhouses and farms in Gaza owned by Israelis and staffed by Palestinian workers for years will be turned over to the Palestinian Authority in coming days, as the Israelis begin their pullout from the settlements. A private foundation has raised about $14 million to be paid to Israeli owners of the greenhouses. Many Israeli settlers had said they would destroy the greenhouses rather than see them handed to the Palestinians. About 25% of all vegetables grown in the West Bank and Gaza are grown in greenhouses, including tomatoes, herbs, cucumbers and the like.
Ah, yes even vegetables get to feel the wrath of an age old grudge... It's good to see that there is no shred of human decency in any of the people in this troubled corner of the world. It would be a shame to see those two peoples who have so much in common actually get along and share something besides hatred for once.
