Default Re: Israeli Banana Production Photos

In case any Christians are scratching their heads, the Lake of Tiberias is also known as the Sea of Galilee.

Is that photo near Capernaum, Jarred? When I was riding on a boat there on the lake while on pilgrimage a couple of years ago I believe I only saw farming going on in that area on the hillside. Unfortunately, I don't recall seeing any bananas being grown in Israel though Ariel tells me that Israel is a fairly large exporter of bananas to Europe. He also e-mailed me an article discussing tissue culture production and breeding which says that an estimated 20% of the bananas grown in the world come from tissue originating from Israel.
