You really are going to condone the depositing of a whole community adjacent to a rubbish dump, aren't you?
Methane if it gets into the water supply becomes toxic
If it is mixed with other gasses it becomes toxic
Children playing on or near such rubbish dumps are liable to be hurt and poisoned - the Israeli Ministry for the Environment has stated that the dump "is improperly fenced-off, and poses a "danger of an explosion and fires"
The Amnesty report contains the following, which you have carefully forgotten to mention, "Although disposal of waste at the site is due to cease later this year, no rehabilitation plan has been agreed, which means that the environmental hazards will likely remain for years."
The toxicity of a site this size, in fact will remain in the ground for decades.
This is how much of a 'non event' this potential war crime is.
I have wondered in the past whether you could possibly sink any lower in your defence of a terrorist state and your racist crusades - you continue to surprise me.
