I've actually seen this in real life. I was in the Sinai in 85/86 as a member of the MFO. I went to the airport at Sharm el Sheik to meet members of the French contingent flying in parts for our Hueys from North Camp.

I was early and had time to kill. The passenger "Terminal" was a large cinderblock building with 4x8 foot windows around the whole building. Above each window was a section of a panoramic black and white photo. The photos showed fruit and nut orchards, grassy fields full of livestock with wide, clean streets.

I asked one of the Egyptian guards where was the site of these pictures? He looked at me like I was crazy and said "Here, the scene of each picture is for the window below." Outside the windows was desert sand, rocks, rubble and trash. It took less than five years for the Egyptians to destroy what the Israelis had built in the desert.

They’d turn Europe into a desert if given a chance.

“Outside the windows was desert sand, rocks, rubble and trash. It took less than five years for the Egyptians to destroy what the Israelis had built in the desert.”

I remember when Israel was turning over housing to the Palestinians, as part of the forced ‘agreements’. Nice, beautiful, homes were DESTROYED by the Palestinians because the Jew once lived there. Likely the same with schools, factories, hospitals, etc.

That’s how it works in the REAL WORLD.
