A reader laments concerning Egypt’s use of saltwater against the Palestinians:
Typical short-sighted behavior of so many members of the human species. Sure, destroy more precious arable land.
I’d say this is an example of the problems inherent in specialization. No doubt the Egyptian military is quite pleased with its solution, as it solves the problem set before them (by the politicians). Their focus is confined entirely to rendering the tunnels unusable. The problem of farmland?
Not their bailiwick.
