Best Answer

The Israelis drained the swamps (using trees like Eucalyptus that absorb large amounts of water) and used massive irrigation projects, as well as desalination, to bring water to the desert. They have also invented cutting-edge technology such as the drip-irrigation system that allows watering with minimal amounts of water.

There is an ethnic and national conflict between Israelis and Palestinians and therefore there are several cases of Israeli Security Forces torturing Palestinians. Additionally, a number of the laws used in the Occupied Territories are subject only to Israeli Military Review which prevents Civil Law from taking action to prevent such abuses. However, it is incorrect to assume that all Israelis or even most Israelis torture Palestinians.
