    Seth Mandel Retweeted Spinoza's rose

    My ggf caught and eventually died from malaria he caught on a moshav after wwi. Clearing the swamps was a massive undertaking and there is no state without it. He survived long enough to come to America and have a family but died young and really suffered at times from it.https://twitter.com/Spinozasrose/status/1421175689575862285 …

        It's a great story but one of tremendous sacrifice. Malaria killed a lot in the Jordan Valley during the war and then again when they were literally building the state with their hands.

        Still haven't found which moshav it was specifically, but I think this is the only picture I have of him on that moshav, according to fam. So if anyone else's relatives are in this and they know which moshav! He is front row with the hat, tho it's a pretty grainy shot. Mid-1920s?pic.twitter.com/Ooy6xv8ejF

        The treatment for malaria in Palestine back then was something called Move To New Jersey And Become A Chicken Farmer. Experimental treatment but it had its uses.

        Of course, the advantage of becoming a chicken farmer in NJ was that he and the others there could then run guns to Hagana through the man who built Asbury Park, who was Ben-Gurion's roommate in the war, with the help of the mob-controlled ports to evade US neutrality laws.

        Anyway NJ chicken farmers were... unlike most chicken farmers you've met.

        You know that famed Asbury Park ferris wheel? Owner used to meet with Hagana reps on it, have it cranked so that they'd stop at the top so that he could be sure no one was listening in. Greetings from Asbury Park! All right it's Friday that's enough storytime for now.
