  1. It was the ancient Natufians (genetic ancestors of the Palestinians) who actually "carved a civilisation out of the desert" in a process that began over 14,000 years ago in a process of cultivating and reaping Emmer wheat, and which later led to them building the ancient city of Jericho. This was made possible by the exceptional spring there, that has never run dry since. Israeli hydrologists, who are experts at diverting, siphoning, and stealing water from the aquifers beneath The West Bank may finally run it dry, though. Since Israelis took control of Palestine, they have rapidly drained the ancient aquifers of Palestine. Not only is Helen Andrews a racist, she is also silly and misinformed, as most racists are.
