Patagonia Belongs to the Jews? Said an Israeli Lives in Chile. Read more
An Israeli soldier set fire to the “Torres del Paine” national park in the southern region of Patagonia in Chile on past 28 December 2011, allegedly while “burning toilet paper”. Meanwhile (3 January 2012), the fire has consumed between 12.000 and “at least 20.000” hectares of forest according to reports from Chilean media . Current status (Twitter, in Spanish) .
The Torres del Paine National Park has been set ablaze and the poor Chileans have lost a major source of national pride and income. The international community and the major “friends of nature” remained silence, watching the fire devour the most beautiful paradise of nature on the earth. The WWF only issued an opinion stating that “this time we can’t inculpate the tourist as in previous fires”. Is this so because the culprit is an israeli? The “Torres del Paine” park covers about 2400 square kilometers with ecosystems, integrating terrestrial and marine landscapes such as glaciers, rivers and lakes, and many kinds of birds of prey and species of mammals. The park attracts about one hundred thousand visitors yearly.
The Israeli military censors immediately banned the correspondents working for international newspapers, TV and media from reporting about the truth and true extent of what Israeli military officer, Rotem Singer (רותם זינגר) of the IDF, a resident of Ness Ziona (מנס ציונ), did. He burnt down between “over 11,000 hectares” (initial reports) and “over 20.000 hectares” (reported today 3 January) of the best-known Chilean Environmental Sanctuary, the National Park Torres del Pain in Patagonia. Singer returned to the hostel where he and his unit were staying in the nearby city of Puerto Natales to eat and have fun while the flames were swallowing the plants birds and animals in the National Park. Singer was arrested last Saturday on “suspicion of involvement in causing a fire” and then released on bail of US$ 300 a few hours after the arrest and is now under “limited freedom”, on condition that he signs at the police once a week. That he and his unit returned to the city to party for 2 days after setting the fire was apparently seen as exculpatory by the prosecutor. (Click on the images to enlarge them).
