Question

Specific term required. A later director of the “Workers’ Bank” failed to rescue these places from a billion-dollar 1980s “debt crisis.” A “water war” began with the shelling of Centurion tanks at one of these places created in the “tower and stockade” period with Tegart forts. The DORSA hired experts from these places to design Sosúa’s (“so-SOO-ah’s”) dairy factories after Rafael Trujillo’s (“troo-HEE-yo’s”) brother agreed to resettle refugees at the Évian Conference. In 1965, one of these places that commercialized jojoba oil signed the first contract for drip irrigation with the engineer behind the National Water Carrier. Joseph Shepher (10[1])(“SHEF-air”) studied (10[1])the (10[1])Westermarck effect at these places, (10[4]-5[1])whose 1960s (10[2])volunteers included Tony Judt. (10[1]-5[1])Degania (“deh-GAHN-yah”) was among the first (10[1])of these places (10[1])settled alongside semi-private (10[2])moshavim (“mo-shah-VEEM”) during the Second Aliyah (10[5])(“ah-lee-YAH”). For 10 points, name these communal cooperatives (10[1])in Israel. (10[3])■END■ (10[1])
