I don't think this is a very nice thing to do. Two highlights from the piece:
Israel's construction and operation of the Kedumim dump appears to be in violating the international law, as it involves transferring garbage to territory defined as occupied. Second, experts warn that the dump would jeopardize the Mountain Aquifer, one of the largest freshwater sources in Israel and Palestine. This is because the dump, which was originally used for "dry waste," will receive and absorb household garbage with organic substances.Posted by Chris at April 5, 2005 11:43 AM

The Kedumim dump will create an absurd situation. The West Bank is filled with illegal Palestinian garbage dumps, which constitute serious environmental hazards and jeopardize the groundwater, because the civil administration refuses to let Palestinians build modern waste disposal sites. The most modern dump being built there - the Kedumim dump - is intended only for garbage from Israel.
