By Yoav Stern, Haaretz Correspondent: Israeli Arab students take to the fields to learn green activism
Talkback
Title:A good joke
Name:Ofer from Ofer
City: State: Israel
I praise the effort being made, but to say that the Arabs respect the environment is laughable. First of all look at all the surrounding countries. Almost all the native wildlfe has been exterminated through uncontrolled hunting. Look at the situation in Israel. Go to any arab village and see all the garbage dumped in the surrounding fields. Second, all the Zatar is disappearing because the Arabs illegally pick it. Third, try to find a recycling center in any Arab village. You won`t. The Moslem culture puts most emphasis on the home and clan and little on the surroundings. I know it`s not politically correct to say so but it is the truth.
