@3scene @Kyrias kibbutz is, and always was, Jewish-only community, Intended to holding Jewish only lands. The kibbutzes that where established near Gaza where (and still are) also intended to prevent the return of the refugees and to promote ethnic cleansing of Palestinian Bedouins from the Naqab area. It's a known fact in kibbutzes that the agriculture should be kept even if not profitable, to keep the land "Jewish".
