Israel’s crocodile conundrum: ‘You can’t eat ’em, you can’t kill ’em’
Hundreds of massive crocodiles are stranded in an abandoned Jordan Valley farm because the entrepreneur who bought them for their skin lost his business when Israel passed a law in 2012 that prohibited the sale of crocodiles for meat, or use of their skin commercially The crocodiles were brought to the settlement of Petzael in the mid-1990s as a tourist attraction. Ensuing Israeli-Palestinian violence kept visitors away, prompting the crocodiles’ purchase by entrepreneur Gadi Biton, who hoped to sell them for their skin.
But his venture flopped after Israel passed a law in 2012 defining the crocodile as a protected animal, and banning raising the animals for sale as meat or merchandise. Multiple attempts to sell them abroad have failed.”We found ourselves with hundreds of crocodiles in this farm that no one knows what to do with,” said David Elhayani, head of the Jordan Valley Regional Council. A lone worker feeds the animals dead chickens once every eight days.
The animals have become a pain for the owner, the region and Israel. Dozens of crocodiles have escaped on two occasions, including once when 70 flew the coop only to be found after a three-day croc-hunt. The reptiles, which can live well into their 70s, are also reproducing. Their numbers are expected to grow to the thousands in the coming years.
“I don’t want to think of what will happen if a crocodile manages to escape and reaches the Jordan River, and then we’ll have an international incident,”

Jeremy can’t stop digging!
Jeremy Corbyn has blasted the Israeli Prime Minister by saying he is the one who should be condemned for killing children rather than the Labour leader who has faced a backlash for his visit to a gravesite.
The Labour leader has faced calls to quit after the Daily Mail exclusively revealed photographs of him being at a wreath laying for Palestinian terrorists involved in the Munich massacre.
Earlier today Benjamin Netanyahu teared into Mr Corbyn online for appearing to compare the Israeli occupation of the West Bank to the Nazi takeover of Europe at an event in 2013.
But Mr Corbyn responded to his words by calling him out for discriminating against Israel's Palestinian minority, tweeting: 'Israeli PM @Netanyahu's claims about my actions and words are false.
'What deserves unequivocal condemnation is the killing of over 160 Palestinian protesters in Gaza by Israeli forces since March, including dozens of children.'

1 year after Doklam ( the Doklam plateau,India.) China intrudes 400m into Ladakh (India). This means China is 'nudging'' India,trying to push India back from which China consideres it is her territory. In the past, such border skirmishes between China and India have happened in the latter’s Eastern Ladakh. That the scuffle took place in the Sikkim sector this time raises the question of whether China is trying to create trouble in undisputed border areas as well?
China continues to needle India at different stretches along the 4,057 km Line of Actual Control with Peoples Army troops (China) intruding around 300-400 m inside the Demchoksector of eastern Ladach and pitching 5 tents. Demchok is one of the 23 “disputed and sensitive areas” streching from eastern Ladakh to Arunachal Pradesh(100miles) The number of incursions this year by Chinese troops along the LAC 170. 260 transgressions were recorded in 2016.
This action will cause the two countrys to face each other and a war will break out. In the past in November 2008, Chinese troops destroyed Indian army bunkers at Donglang, near the tri-junction.Chinese intrusions happened four times in Eastern Ladakh between April 2013 and March 2016. Troops occupied Indian posts for hours, even weeks, before matters were resolved through diplomacy
A war will start because China's expansion policy's South China sea, and now this disputed territory,plus China is wanting to see itself as a Global power,now it is an Asian power! China calls for India to withdraw its troops from Donglang (Doklam). Beijing views Donglang as its territory and insists neither Bhutan nor India can stake a claim to it. It regards the road construction underway in the plateau as legitimate.
