Perhaps a return to colonialism is the answer to Africa’s problems.

This is explained by the fact that there are a lot of Muslims in the Cape area.

Having seen the place first hand—colonialism is the only remedy.

“Perhaps a return to colonialism is the answer to Africa’s problems.”

Try not to be obvious. You might upset the liberals who will cry all over you.

Well didn’t the Palestinians offer to help solve their drought problem, I mean if the Cape Town rebuffed the Israelis?

What no one outside of Israel and likely Saudi Arabia understands is that the world changed profoundly in 2014 when Israel became water independent. They now used desalinated water for agriculture. Israeli officials talk of this achievement as being on the order of the neolithic revolution. Why? Because it portends a time when all the worlds deserts will be turned green for agriculture.

This was a silent bomb that went off in the middle east 4 years ago that rendered completely moot all past and current political calculation because of a vastly changed future.

The sad thing is that the USA created and help nurture and continues to nurture the technology but is now poised to get very little benefit either financial or political from the coming global revolution in agriculture.

Three presidents: Eisenhow, Kennedy andJohnson understood what water desalination portended. Then desalination was forgotten. There is in the USA no leadership for desalination. But cheap clean water from the ocean is the future of the 21st century and beyond.

Well okay then, we’re not asking the right question: Why aren’t there any Olympians from Yemen?

Let them dry up and blow away, then.
God bless Israel.
