Israel, Jordan and "Making the Desert Bloom."
The San Remo Convention claim is usually made by Arabists (and Jordanian Nationalists) Jordan got the short end of the stick, and has less arable land than Israel. Not only is this not true, but it shows the truth of Israel's miracle.
So, lets compare, shall we?
Jordan is about 3 times the size of Israel, and 22% of it is Arable land. That is 7,588.9 Square Miles. Jordan is widely in disrepair and the amount of Arable land has not changed much.
Israel is 1/3rd the size of Israel, but 40% of its land is Arable. This was not the original situation; Judea and Samaria and Gaza have arable areas, and in the original "two-state solution" where Israel gets roughly all the land controlled today by it, the PLO and Hamas, Israel had a lot of agricultural land. Still, the British government state in the 1937 White Paper, used to refuse Jewish immigration to Mandate Palestine, the British government claimed only 2 million people could stay alive in the region without mass starvation (and that was risking it.)
Today, 2 million is roughly the number of Arab-Israelis.
What Israel was to have from the UN mandate was overwhelmingly majority desert, and Israel was marred by violence everywhere during the War of Independence. But nevertheless, it is the only country which has had a net gain of trees from 1900 to 2000, and that continues to now. While the Iranian-backed "featured snippet" on Google (and low below it, on a website called "Decolonize Palestine" which, as previously reported, claims Jews created Communism to kill Goys), there is objective proof "Making the Desert Bloom" isn't a "Zionist Colonialist *Myth"-Its reality. Zionists have been saying it because its true.
(These accusations of myths feed into the claims of a Jewish genocide of Arabs and a "Palestinian People." The idea most Arabs in Eretz Yisroel today moved into the region after Zionism is a lot less believable when you think it was a thriving land before; and the idea of a larger Arab population in the region makes it easy to ignore the fact the Arab population of Israel, Judea-Samaria and Gaza between pre-war '48 and 2022 has grown 9 times over.)
Now, taking 60% of what is in 2022 Arable land in Israel, and adding all of Jerusalem plus parts of Judea and Samaria Area C, how many square miles of Israel are arable (drumroll, please...)
3,340.
So, is Israel a conspiracy which was made to undermine Jordan? Or do Arab nationalists provocateurs and their allies lie to make Jordan seem Arabs seem like a victim of Israel's existence?
