Israeli Chief Rabbi Shlomo Amar called on the population to fast this Thursday to implore God to alleviate the water crisis. Hey, you don’t need to bother God for that. The Israeli water crisis stems from two sources only. We allow Palestinians (including their Jordanian variety) to draw five times more water than allocated to them under the agreements, and Israeli kibbutzim, economically inefficient as agricultural enterprises anywhere in the world, use gigantic amounts of water at heavily subsidized prices.

Agriculture unnecessary?
So are we supposed to import food?
Why not, if the EU is willing to subsidize its its agricultural exports
Chief Rabbi suggests water fast but the author of the post suggests pressing agriculture. And someone else offers importing genetically modified crops from Europe. A strange idea, I must say. Why not import water from somewhere? And then noone will have to put up with the “news” that Chief Rabbi suggests water fast.
