At best you can compare the average rainfall to the driest southeasternmost part of England. However, in the West Bank the rain doesn’t fall the way it does in England. It falls more irregularly, sometimes causing flash floods like last November. Also, the temperature is higher, whatever rain falls it also dries up quick. West Bank depends on cisterns and irrigation, which aren’t really a thing in England. So yes, while technically not all of Israel and Palestine is a desert, most of it is, and even the parts that are technically not deserts are very vulnerable, and will become uninhabitable in a few decades.

That convinced me, for sure.
In about 20 years the whole area is going to be uninhabitable due to climate change. We won’t even have to turn it into glass.
For 2000 year this piece of semi-desert has been fought over between the various factions of the Abrahamic Madness. Israel vs Palestine is just the latest incarnation of that.
Look, I know not every American is a fascist. But most of you still behave as if the rest of the world were naturally “yours”. Your country is obviously an important one, but not because it is special in any way or sense. You just got lucky. Your (I have to say, collective) behavior is not reflecting any awareness of that, and it comes through as arrogance. Saying “our Canada” is definitely not reading the room.
Exactly. It is the Holy Land of Death.

Nobody gives a crap about the shitgibbon’s trade war. We do care about his imperialism and war crimes, yes. If you mean Israel, and Canada’s so called support of it, frankly, I think the only correct solution would be if America took the jews in, Saudis took the Palestinian in, Europe took the rest, then turn the entire region into glass so that nobody ever can foght over it anymore. 2000+ years of suffering over a piece of desert, and they all pull the entire world into their stupid family fight.
not your Canada. That’s kind of the point.

1·5 days agoA large percentage of the world’s population has experienced government interference including and beyond who can own what. It is very possible to happen, and thinking otherwise, respectfully, is unfortunately what helps it make happen.
For now they still need connectivity and a person that remotely controls them. It is very likely they jam the frequencies near important people already. Now, the time is near for autonomous seek-and-destroy drones that don’t need connectivity.
