The Abrahamic religions are closely linked and Judaism existed first, Christianity second, Islam third. Do you dispute that?

If you are unwilling to do so then we may need to refute anything you have written so far without referencing??
at the moment I am not disputing anything just asking for references which you seem unwilling or incapable of giving??

Hamas still wants to replace Israel with a Palestinians state it does not recognise Israel and it just replaces the word Jews with Zionists.

Why can't Israel work with Palestine to share these methods? There are plenty of Israelis who sympathise with the situation the Palestinians in Occupied zones are in. There are plenty of Palestinians who have no sympathy for Hamas. You'd think there was a middle ground?
I thought occupied zones are those not recognised as Israel by the international community? When you go there they don't feel Israeli. It's like going to a foreign country but not really....The currency is the USD and not shekels.
The Palestinians ( at least those in Israel ) are educated people they have engineers and water experts too!
They go to universities in Israel
Drip irrigation has been around a long time it's used in Jordan. And in every country in the world that has arid regions .
The US dollar is used as acceptable currency in many parts of the world ( most of South America and the Carribean for example)
The Palestinian currency is not the USD people just like to have USD as they are a secure currency .
When Israel withdrew from the Gaza in 2005
They left state of the art greenhouses which were paid for ny philanthropists as a gesture of good will.
Instead of being used they were destroyed .
To be fair many Gazans who had worked in them were horrified at the destruction being aware of their value .
