"As for now, we must not forget who would have to exchange the land? those villages which live more than others on irrigation, on orange and fruit plantations, in houses built near water wells and pumping stations, on livestock and property and easy access to markets"

About this Quote

This quote by Moshe Sharett speaks with the significance of land exchange in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He emphasizes that those towns which rely heavily on watering, orange and fruit plantations, water wells and pumping stations, animals, residential or commercial property, and access to markets would be the ones most impacted by a land exchange. Sharett is recommending that these villages need to not be forgotten in the procedure of land exchange, as they are the ones who would be most affected by the modification. He is stressing the importance of thinking about the needs of these villages and their occupants when making decisions about land exchange. Sharett's quote is a pointer that land exchange is not just a political issue, but likewise a human one, and that individuals who live in these towns need to not be forgotten at the same time.
