‘A growing influx of Israeli tourists, particularly those with military backgrounds, is fueling tension in Arugam Bay’s south-eastern Sri Lankan coastal town. This prompts concerns among local residents, business owners, and community leaders about foreign influence, gentrification,* and cultural friction.’
‘Tourists from Israel are often seen traveling in groups, relying on Israel-run services, bringing medical teams from Israel, and purchasing scooters and tuk-tuks for personal use. The report argues that this has created a ‘parallel tourism network, ‘ largely detached from the local community.’
* ‘The Meaning Of Gentrification.’
‘Gentrification is a phenomenon in which a neighborhood’s social and economic composition changes due to the influence of wealthy people, who make adjustments and [sometimes] move there. This has far-reaching, negative consequences for the original residents of the neighborhood. The wealthy improve the houses, which causes the original residents to be displaced by rising rents and purchase prices.
The term “gentrification” is derived from the English word “gentry,” which means nobility. “Gentrification” is the English term for “gentry,” meaning nobility. “Gentrification”, the English term for the word, was first used in 1964 by the British sociologist Ruth Glass. She wrote:
‘One by one, many of the working-class quarters have been invaded by the middle class – upper and lower… Once this process of ‘gentrification’ starts in a district, it goes on rapidly untill all of most of the working-class occupants are displaced and the whole social character of the district is changed.’
Since then, gentrification has been observed worldwide and has aroused much discussion and controversy.’ Source: https://curious.be/gentrificatie-wat-is-de-betekenis-en-hoe-kan-het-worden-aangepakt/ [emphasis added]
Israel Hated By [Almost] All Peoples Of The World.
‘You will be a terror, a proverb, and an object of ridicule among all the peoples, whither the LORD shall lead you.’
[Deuteronomy 28:37]
‘And I will make them a terror to all the kingdoms of the earth, a reproach, a mockery, and a curse in all places whither I shall drive them,’
[Jeremiah 24:9]
[So much for the ridiculous and idiotic reasoning that those who bless Israel will be blessed by God.]
