Another of my projects advances towards completion. The treated wastewater pumping station of A.M. settlement in the Northern Shomron, near Nablus, is ready and we completed the "Dry-Run" Test and transfer to the Moatzah, the Local Authority that will be operating it. There are large almond nut tree plantations waiting for the water, and plots readied for planting wineyards, Vitis vinicola. I dont know what is going on at the high political level, but the Local Authority's stamp says A.M.-Nablus. Are they preparing to become an administrative unit of the Palestinian Authority? This place was once called Palestine and the Jews carried Palestinian passports.

"the Local Authority's stamp says A.M.-Nablus"
Not exactly- what it says is:
Elon Moreh-Shechem
which has been the name of our community for 30 years, originally to differentiate us from Elon Moreh-Kedumim and Elon Moreh-Rujeb (Itamar) which were 2 of the many stops we made on our way to the present location.
Appreciate your work on the water recycling system! Just waiting for the useable water to reach the almonds and grapes...
Nice to receive feedback!
I was unaware of the history behind the stamp. It is troubling to think that if I could be misled by it, what may an antizionist levantine (Jew or otherwise) imagine about its meaning. I remember Yasser Arafat showing on TV a 10 agorot coin explaining that it represented a map of Israel's expansion plan from the Euphrates to the Nile. People imagine things.
Regarding agriculture, I am slowly realizing that it may take generations. You have read about the Aliyah Rishona to understand how difficult this country is.
