The tourism minister of Israel's new hardline government on Sunday promised to invest in developing the West Bank, calling the occupied area"our local Tuscany." The tourism minister of Israel's new hardline government on Sunday promised to invest in developing the West Bank, calling the occupied area “our local Tuscany.

Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war and has built dozens of settlements that are now home to roughly 500,000 Israelis. At a ceremony Sunday, Katz said he would channel resources to promote tourism in the West Bank. “We will invest in areas that may not have received sufficient support to date,” he said. “For example, our local Tuscany in Judea and Samaria," he added, using the biblical term for the West Bank favored by religious and right-wing Israelis.

Airbnb in 2018 said it would bar listings in the Israeli settlements, but it quickly backed down under heavy Israeli pressure. Last year, Booking.com said it was adding warnings to its listings there.

That's one tour of Italy I will never take even if I was given an all expenses paid trip that includes absolutely everything. I would burn the tickets and tell them to fuck off. I could never vacation at a place that was acquired thru the genocide of an entire people.

People already live there.

And they'll dehumanize & slaughter as many people as it takes to make it a desirable tourist destination
