Photo of Jews having to deal with malaria mosquito infested swamps. The maps show that the 1947 UN Partition Plan assigned the Jews the lands that were malaria infested. The Arabs got the non-malaria infested lands.

“By 1947, Jewish holdings in Palestine amounted to about 463,000 acres.” … “The budget of the Mandatory Administration was financed 70 per cent by Jewish taxpayers (who formed less than half of the population) and 30 per cent by Arab taxpayers. Yet Arabs benefited from more than 80 per cent of the budget expenditure, especially in social welfare areas such as health.” The Classical Liberal Case for Israel, by Walter Block and Alan Futerman.

What a great photo of them draining the swamps!

As the Jews made the land habitable, Arabs moved in from neighbouring countries to work for the Jews. After they left during war of independence, UNRWA used an odd definition of only two years residence to deem the Arabs ‘refugees’
