Discussing with you is no fun. You repeated the myth I spoke about: When the Jews came to Israel they found a desert. You also implied that only Bedouins lived in the desert. But it�s fine with me, Todd, I don't care.

Discussing with you is no fun at all. This is getting crazy. I argue against the myth that Palestine was a desert. Large parts of the land was cultivated, maybe not as efficient but most of the land was in use. Nobody denies that the Jews (with also the work force of the Arabs) cultivated part of the land. Not very strange with the enormous capital invested in Israel.

>This is a one-sided picture because you forgot to
>mention what a large part of Arabs thought.

You take care of that.
