- Subject : Voice of America in Israel Southern Desert - Jordan Valley.
-
- The American have decided to build up a transmition station for the Voice of
- America in the Jordan Valley (Israeli territory), This transmition station was
- meant to broadcast to the soviet Union and other eastern-europe countries.
- The decision to build this station was taken before the new changes in the
- Soviet Union accrued.
- In this days this decision is becoming reality since the Bush administration
- for some unknown reason want's to continue with this plan, The transmition
- station will be 300. meters hight and will release a huge amount of energy.
- The damage is both to the people around who are mostly farmers leaving in a
- Moshav (some sort of a community life in israel) and also to the nature.
-
- The jordan valley is the main migration root for more than a billion birds who
- travel each year from AFRICA to EUROPE, many birds watchers come to observe
- this spectacular sine each year and this new transmition station is a big threat
- to the birds migration , Think about it that if the birds migration from
- africa to europe will be harmed many birds that are rare today will be
- disappeared !!!. The second harm is to the area around since the transmition
- station is going to be build on about 8000 donams of beuttiful desert land, The
- Israeli desert is quit small and very unique, This transmition station is
- threatening one of the last places of butty with have in this desert.
-
- I'm calling anyone who has interest to help us with our struggle which is not
- a local struggle for my test but an international one on the future of birds
- in this region of the world .
- The decision to build the station was taken long time ago, This day there in no
- reason to build it but the beocreacy make it impossible to stop the decision.
- There are a lot of demonstration in israel about this plan but we need an
- international help of environment organization to make the u.s government change
- the decision and by that save the future of birds, nature and man in the area.
- I think that the struggle is not lees important then the struggle about whales
- or other animals in other parts of the world.
- If you have any hand in an environment organization or you can write to your
- representative please do so and help us with our struglee.
