I am Rania from Gaza. Hello everyone, I will talk to you about a little-known sector in Gaza, which is agriculture, before the war... I am the daughter of a farmer.

"Republican lawmakers are finally reading the room, and for once, the writing on the wall isn’t spelled M-A-G-A. The economy is shrinking, the tariffs are hitting red states the hardest, and millions of Americans—the same ones Trump promised to uplift—are watching their grocery bills rise while their SNAP benefits are slashed."

"Farmers in Iowa, manufacturers in Michigan, and truckers in Texas aren’t getting richer off these trade wars; they’re getting crushed. …
the migration has begun. Slowly, quietly, and maybe even too late. But it’s happening. And when it’s over, the GOP will look up, dazed and confused, wondering how the man they built their empire around ended up standing alone in the dust."

3. In recent years:
The emergence of hydroponics in eastern Gaza and Rafah to reduce water consumption.
Support projects from international organizations (FAO, UNDP) to rehabilitate cultivated land and establish new wells.
Improvement of drip irrigation methods and use of solar
energy to operate wells.
Preparations are underway to plant strawberries in the)
northern regions, specifically in a yellow zone that was confiscated by the Israeli army.)

"While women are being forced out of the workforce, children are going hungry, and people are being rounded up by ICE in warrantless raids, white male pain continues to be a Page 1 story. Farmers and ranchers make up less than 2 percent of the total population in America, but they dominate our cultural and political mythology."

"He responded that he didn’t regret his vote, because his vote was about more than his farm or tariffs; it was about God, guns, and abortion. In sum, he’d take the hit because there were bigger issues at stake.
That conversation is part of my first book, God Land, published in 2019. But I think about it often, because it highlights so many of the problems with political reporting. It’s not about the policies; it’s about the priorities."
"This week, the New York Times ran an image of a farmer on the front page. ...
The story is about how Trump’s tariff policies are affecting the very farmers in Iowa who voted for him. ...
In 2017, I asked a farmer how he felt about voting for Trump, even though Republican policies were hurting his business."

"When all is said and done, the White House hopes to provide $40 billion in rescue money for Argentina. …
Trump’s economic 'policy' has no real philosophy—it just involves throwing money at people he wants to help and tariffs at people he decides to punish. There’s no other rhyme or reason to it, and now even MAGA is starting to notice."

"[Farmers] see that Donald Trump has to make a choice. And his choice is either: Is he going to screw over his billionaire friends in Argentina, or is he going to screw over the farmer? And he’s picking the billionaire."

"President Donald Trump's tariffs have decimated U.S. farmers' soybean market and there is 'no sign of Chinese buying.'
The fall harvest has started without any orders from China, the world's biggest buyer, according to a new report published on agriculture.com's Successful Farming."

“The National Corn Growers Association reports that 46% of U.S. farmers believe the country is on the brink of agricultural economic crisis, with corn margins showing losses of $161 per acre. These supposedly core MAGA supporters are discovering that deportation policies create severe labor shortages threatening entire harvests, while cash receipts for crop farms have declined by $71 billion over the past three years.”
