We need only look at what happened after August of 2005 when the Israeli government removed all of its military from the Gaza Strip and forced the removal of close to 10,000 Jewish residents from an area called Gush Katif, that had in fact been made by them into a Gan Eden of beautiful homes, farms and businesses, all built on what had been formally sand dunes. While the homes were bulldozed by the Israelis, the businesses and especially the highly productive network of greenhouses were purchased by a foundation set up by the EU and heavily funded by former head of the World Bank, James Wolfensohn. They were to be given to the Palestinian Authority so as to preserve the jobs of the Palestinians that had been working there. After the IDF left the area the greenhouses were heavily looted while some were left intact. (Wikipedia)
