Israel’s Arava desert gets just 30 millimeters of rainfall a year,
but it produces 60 percent of Israel’s fresh vegetable exports, 10% of
cut flower exports … and now it has a thriving ornamental fish industry,
too.
“The desert is dry and all the water that we have here first of all
is water that we drill here in the Arava; we’re not connected to a
national water system,” explains Alon Gadiel, director of the Arava
Research and Development Center. Yet Israel is in the top six exporting
countries for aquarium fish, and there are now 18 fish farms in the
Arava. Three of them breed the clownfish better known as Nemos because
of the hit movie “Finding Nemo.”
“A business like aquaculture is a very good business because you
don’t need a lot of land, and you don’t need a lot of water. You need a
lot of knowledge,” says Gadiel. In addition, he stresses, “We breed fish that originally grow in the sea, and we sell them from captivity so we prevent harming the ecosystem.”

ACT NOW for ISRAEL: Flush ‘LUSH’ Cosmetics!
email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.
LUSH Cosmetics has quietly closed its Beverly Hills, California location several months after a group known as “Join the Boycott LA” (www.JTBLA.com) organized a protest outside the store to expose the company’s support of PLO extremism. LUSH, with headquarters in the UK and stores in over 40 countries around the world, is using its customers’ money to support the PLO’s extremist “One World Campaign”. This virulently anti-Israel organization portrays Israel as an “illegal” occupier committing crimes against “Palestine” and grossly exaggerates the suffering in Gaza, placing responsibility solely on the Israelis.
There is much more work to be done. We urge you to ACT NOW FOR ISRAEL by sending an email to customercare@lush.co.uk to protest their anti-Israel extremism.
It has come to our attention that LUSH, a leading luxury handmade cosmetics company, gives a percentage of its profits to an anti-Israel organization called “OneWorld”. Upon visiting the OneWorld website (http://freedomoneworld.org/), it is very clear that they are supported by extreme anti-Israel groups that are sympathetic to terrorist activity against the State of Israel. For example, one of the supporting groups is called “Friends of al-Aqsa”. Visiting their website speaks for itself: http://www.foa.org.uk/.
