Hilltop Activist Alkanah Nahmani Invests in Buffalo Herd to Expand Land Use

Alkanah Nahmani, a resident of Givat Or Meir, addressed questions following his unusual decision to purchase a herd of buffalo (jamos). Responding to inquiries about why he chose livestock over buying a car, Nahmani explained that this was a practical investment aimed at expanding the existing cattle herd, developing the land, and supporting agricultural work. He emphasized that acquiring buffalo is part of a broader effort to strengthen land control and cannot be achieved through vehicle ownership.

Nahmani highlighted the significant role the buffalo play in daily activities on the hilltop, framing the purchase as a strategic move rather than a hobby. He humorously contrasted the somber appearance of many Seat Ibiza car owners in Jerusalem with the joyful image of someone tending to a buffalo herd, underscoring his belief that owning buffalo brings happiness and purpose to life in the settlement.

This investment reflects a practical approach to land development and agricultural expansion in the Givat Or Meir community, signaling a commitment to enhancing local farming infrastructure and territorial presence.
