This is the view from Carmel, looking toward the Jezreel Valley, as it appeared in June 2006 when I was there.
Hey, I’m just saying. I’ve seen hundreds of not thousands of photos of Israel and the Holy Land over many years and not one of them had a forest in it. Matter of fact most everything looked like desert. Maybe I didn’t see the forests for the trees. LOL
Well if you planted all of those “A Tree will be Planted in Israel in Your Name” Bar Mitzva gifts in one place, eventually you would have a forest.
Yes, there are plenty of forests here, mostly pine and cedar, I think. I can’t help it if photographers aren’t interested in them. No, one shouldn’t joke about 40 people dead.

Israel has lots of forests and a massive reforestation program. The old PLO arsonists used to try and burn them down and did succeed in some cases.
This makes the PLO/PLA/Hamas anti-trees. Gee Greenpeace will really scold them and the Sierra Club will hold a meeting or a circlejerk or something.
You were looking at pictures from Holy sites like central Jerusalem, West Bank, Gaza, Negev desert and NOT in the Galilee or central parts of Israel...no LOL right now, they are being Jihad burned.
I’ve been to Mt Carmel. They have pine trees there. Most of the desert is in southern Israel and the Dead Sea area. A lot of it is quite pretty.
I had the same misconceptions about Israel before I went.
