So according to your theory it is not important because "low value construction materials are present in unlimited quantities"? First thing, nothing is unlimited, otherwise why not get it from Israeli territory? Second low value? I don`t know a gravel quarry over here that gives it away for free, are you living in a land of fairy tales? Facts are shown it is illegal in Israel to steal it, from another paper "strict environmental restrictions on quarrying because of the noise and dust produced, they turn out to be surprisingly valuable. Building contractors are often caught in the Negev Desert stealing them by the truckload in the dead of night. A 2008 government study predicted a serious shortage of raw building materials within a decade." Sounds like the police in Israel don`t consider it unlimited nor free. This why the are thieving from someone else. Nice double standard "Dr"? hope you are not an ethics adviser.
