Contents/Summary
- Summary
- Known by many as Palestine's white petroleum, natural stone is Palestine's most highly demanded raw material. However, the Palestinian stone industry is largely held hostage to Israeli construction needs, including the construction of settlements on Palestinian land. Inside villages, cities and refugee camps, natural stone is unearthed at unsustainable rates, leaving behind environmental, social and health problems. Any complaints of ordinary Palestinians face persecution by the Israeli occupation, fall on the deaf ears of international organizations, or are merely ignored by Palestinian officials, who are unable to change the course this industry has taken.
