Israel’s Largest Solar Farm Now Online
Earlier today, the largest solar power plant in Israel was connected to the grid. The 50 kW rooftop solar farm, located in Qazrin, was installed by Israeli renewable energy company Solar IT.

The Suntech solar-powered installation will produce 85,000 kWh of electricity. Suntech plans on installing an even larger installation in Southern Israel at at an unspecified date.
The new plant is part of Israel’s plan to produce 20 percent of its electricity using renewables by 2020. Considering the country’s abundant sunshine, I certainly hope that the majority of its renewable energy will be solar-based.

They built it using money parasitized off American taxpayers on land stolen off Palestinians.
Take your racist bull crap to another site. Israel is the only successful, democratic country in that part of the world.
Israel successful? Yes, it successfully collects welfare handouts off the US taxpayer.
Israel democratic? To quote Jimmy Carter, Israel is an apartheid state.
Quoting Jimmy Carter=fail
Oh so Israel is not an apartheid state? Jews and Arabs have equal rights do they?
Israel’s Marriage Law
Znet Magazine
August 2, 2003
Israel’s Parliament has passed a law preventing Palestinians who marry Israelis from living in Israel. The move was denounced by human rights organisations as racist, undemocratic and discriminatory.

What are you worried about? That Arabs will undermine the purity of your Jewish blood?
Oh wait! You are worried about the purity of your Jewish blood being undermined, not only by Arabs but also by Falasha (black Jews):
Pent-up resentment in the Falasha community finally erupted in fury on Jan. 24, 1996, when it was learned that Falasha donations to Israel’s national blood bank were routinely thrown away. They were not pacified by the excuse given. Zvi Ben Yishai, chairman of the National AIDS Committee, said it was because the Falashas had fifty times the incidence of AIDS as other Israelis. He said the practice was “justified for the protection of the public.”
However, Yoram Lass, a member of parliament and former director general of the health ministry, described the policy as “racist and unfounded scientifically.” He said Americans had a much higher AIDS rate but Israel would never consider banning blood donations by American Jews.
The revelation horrified the Falashas, who now number around 50,000. Adiso Masala, head of the Organization of Ethiopian Immigrants, said: “This is pure racism. We are blood brothers with the Israelis but our blood is thrown in the garbage because we are black.”

Well, talk about a conundrum. Who is lower on the Israeli apartheid scale? Blacks or Arabs?
In other words, what threatens the purity of Jewish blood the most? Intermarriage with Arabs or blood donations from blacks?
Steve, please help us solve this conundrum regarding Israel, the “successful democracy”.
Your right Rob. I cant defend any of those things. Racism is not good. That is true. But there are still ignorant racists in America and I still love my country. You are a prime example. You are clearly a racist. There are atrocities going on everywhere in the world but you are only concerned about Israel throwing away blood. But I still love you brother.
@Steve, how does condemning racism make Rob a racist? You are playing the same old tired trump card that Zionists have been using for decades to get away with their boundless depravity: just call your accuser an anti-semite/racist and the problem goes away instantly…
You, however, defend racists - and that makes you a racist by implication.
Please explain how the fact that atrocities are practised elsewhere in the world makes the Zionist genocide visited upon the Palestinians acceptable?
PS. there is a difference between “your” and “you’re” - look it up or ask someone who knows English.
You guys have got it right. You should continue to breed hate. You must live over there and know everything that goes on. Am I right? You have seen this genocide first hand? You guys are right. I don’t know whats going on over there. I live in America. I see a lot of bombings the Palestinians are responsible for. Yet you don’t condemn that. “Boundless depravity” you must be some really hip art student huh? I get along with everyone, and it doesn’t even matter if there Jewish. Or black. Or white. I’m guessing you probably have trouble in that area.
