The environmentalist movement isn’t just wrapping its green tentacles around Western countries like the US and Europe, they also operate in the Middle East too. An Israeli business newspaper, Globes, reports that last year the Israeli Land Authority gave the go ahead to the construction of a small city named Bat Harim that will be located in the area between Jerusalem and Beit Shemesh, to include Tzur Hadassah and Mevo Beitar.

The city’s approval drew the ire of environmentalists who declare that they city is illegal and demanded the plans be cancelled pointing to a 2007 decision by the ILA planning commission declining to approve the construction of a city then due to environmental concerns. So because new blood occupies the seats of the people who used to hold power in 2007 that the present people should take an example from the past? I don’t think so. The city is being built to develop an area where Israelis would like to live and developers are willing to spend time and money building the city.

Environmentalists, on the other hand, would prefer people remain locked in the areas already built based on the theory dong so would not only protect the environment but also reduce people’s carbon footprint. Environmentalists demand people reduce their presence on the Earth in order to save nature. But what about nature’s affect on the planet that impacts mankind. Oh that doesn’t matter, they would say, because humans are a bigger threat than nature. If they truly believe this you notice green make no effort to rid the planet of their presence but demand people other than them reduce theirs.
