Greenhouse Experiment for Self Sufficiency

Raja Ahmed Zaqzuk, a 48-year-old Palestinian woman, confers with CARE field worker Maisa Shquier (R) in her greenhouse, on 11 September 2008; in Al Jadida village near Jenin.

Zaqzuk, is apart of an experiment for self sufficiency by growing seasonal vegetables and fruit in a environmentally friendly greenhouse supplied and supported by CARE in a project which is funded by the European Commission's Humanitarian Aid Office.

While some contend that this project is for needy families, it has been reported as strictly and experiment for self sufficiency which is becoming more of a global project alternative for stabilization for countries that are actually improvised.

These types of projects are very important in Palestine, with the belief of helping to better certain problems such as the global food crisis in third and forth world countries; to have a chance at better lives and living conditions.

For it is a firm belief not just in Islam, but also Judaism; to always help one’s fellowman in what ever there need may be.

Following the attack Jewish police and border police evacuated the area of harvesters for there safety.

As to global terrorist Interpol Mahmoud Abbas making any delusional statements as though the war is still occurring, it is a proven fact that the State of Palestine is a sovereign state and Abbas has no authority to make any claims political or otherwise.

He has more appeared in the last months, as a mad man; with his up scaling of terrorism not just in Palestine, but globally with all this type of crime curtails, along with other horrendous charges to his and his terrorist organizations credit.

Abbas, from my understanding is not only one of the most disliked in the global community, but one of the top most wanted for terrorist activities; among other criminal activities, it has been reported.

Abbas is bent on stealing Palestine, he also does intend to committed full scale genocide of the whole citizen populace of the country, excluding his own terrorist organization and will use any means to do so.

To further understand these Canaanites thinking, this is not the first time they have tried this particular theft and murder idea.

In history, when some of the Jews and Palestinians had been in Egypt as slaves; then were freed by Allah (God) through Moses. The Canaanites, were attempting to steal the country then, they had even taken some cities, such as Jericho by blood; to even try an name the country Canaan, which was a lie.

As history shows, the Jewish and Palestinians when they entered Palestine where defending the legitimate people which included Jews and Palestinians who where under attack and already in the country, from the Canaanites bloodletting theft and murder; among other horrendous acts of barbarism and wickedness.

It should be further understood, even at this particular segment of time; that Allah (God) cursed the Canaanites.

What some people may not know, that some of the Jews that where in Palestine when the Canaanite attacks where occurring at this time; later became known as the Samaritans, for they are Arab Palestinian and Jewish.

Needless to say, when this occurred in history, people used basic terms for these types of crimes by naming the different particular crimes in something similar to list form; in modern times, it became more equated with the term, terrorism; which seemed to became a manner for people to better understand.

Palestine Okra Harvesting

Palestinian farmers work on their okra field.

Okra is the one vegetable that is very hard to pick, because as you see in the pictures you need long sleeves and gloves. Picking okra is as though you are picking something from a nettle bush; one can itch, suffer certain types of pain or gain a type of rash trying to pick this vegetable with bare arms and hands.

With okra, one usually picks it at a certain stage of development because it is still tender. If one picks okra after it gets rather large, it is tough and stringy.

There is many variety of dishes that has the ingredient of okra, along with several ways to prepare okra by itself, that is very delightful.

These farmers look as though they have a bumper crop this year, like so may other’s in Palestine has been overjoyed this year with such a good harvest.
