we learn something new every day

Perusing the thousands of blogs posted about the war in Lebanon, I learned something worth sharing.

Israel is the only country in the world that has more trees today than there were 100 years ago!

This fact came up in the context of an environmental blog dealing with the oil-spill coming from the Lebanese power station bombed in the opening day of the war. Environmentalists are pointing the finger at us, but ignoring the enormous damage done to out forested areas by Hizbolla rockets.

All credit to KKL/JNF for giving us this unique gold medal!
