“The Jews might have had Uganda, Madagascar, and other places for the establishment of a Jewish Fatherland, but they wanted absolutely nothing except Palestine, not because the Dead Sea water by evaporation can produce five trillion dollars of metaloids and powdered metals; not because the sub-soil of Palestine contains twenty times more petroleum than all the combined reserves of the two Americas; but because Palestine is the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, because Palestine constitutes the veritable center of world political power, the strategic center for world control.” WorldTwoMightWantedAmericaPoliticalWaterPowerFiveSeaProduceEuropeTwentiesDollarsJewSoilMetalsEstablishmentReservesAsiaPalestineStrategicAbsolutely NothingPolitical PowerCrossroadsZionistFatherlandPetroleumUgandaHoly LandSea WaterMadagascarEvaporation Author:Nahum Goldmann

“It takes 1,000 tons of water to produce 1 ton of grain. As water becomes scarce and countries are forced to divert irrigation water to cities and industry, they will import more grain. As they do so, water scarcity will be transmitted across national borders via the grain trade. Aquifer depletion is a largely invisible threat, but that does not make it any less real.” DoeRealCountryWaterCitiesProduceIndustryTradeThreatEnvironmentalInvisibleBordersGrainScarceScarcityImportsIrrigationNational BordersAquifers Author:Lester R.

“[I predict] the electricity generated by water power is the only thing that is going to keep future generations from freezing.

“The 'Cercle et Carré' group owes its existence to my encounter with the Uruguayan painter Torrès-Gracia in 1929... However difficult our relationship, his obstinacy matching my patience, this unholy team of fire and water was bound to produce something.

“Maybe that's what happens with age, I thought. All your life you force yourself to forget people who have hurt you, but as you get older and weaker their memory surfaces again, like a bubble in the water. You have to surrender, because you feel to tired to fight it and push it down again. And maybe, unexpectedly, you find out that instead, of revamping your anger, those memories produce an unexpected sweetness.” PeopleFeelsHappensAgeFightingForceWaterHurtMemoriesForgetProduceTiredSurfaceSurrenderUnexpectedBubblesSweetness Author:Francesca Marciano

“The way to improve productivity is not to bring in experts to talk about inputs - seed, equipment and materials, pesticides or water supply. The way to start is to provide an assured market, a fair price, and a system through which rural producers can market their produce which is reasonably efficient and can transfer to them the maximum share of the consumers' money. If such a structure is erected, the producers will then seek the inputs and materials they need to increase their production and productivity.” IfsWayNeedsWaterShareProduceMaterialsFairsIncreaseStructureProductionsSeedsProductivityProducersConsumersExpertsEfficientEquipmentAssuredMaximumTransfersInputPesticides Author:Verghese Kurien

It serves as an art project, an organic produce market, a spiritual practice, a pharmacy. It offers ongoing lessons in ecology, biology, chemistry, geology, meteorology.
