Comet project environmental peacemaking
Comet project environmental peacemaking, originally uploaded by Kung Fu Jew 18. All construction is illegal in this zone since the Oslo Accords (because it’s under Israeli control, and they don’t want any) and Israel refuses to connect Palestinians to water, electricity, or sewage.
