Water! Water! But not everywhere!
This is a HUGE PROBLEM already and gets bigger every day,and obviously one of MORE VITAL importance than oil to all species on the planet,including ALL HUMANS equally.
Israel already WASTES more water than ANY OTHER Nation/State in the region.
On extreme irrigation on STOLEN crops/orchards on STOLEN Palestinian land.
In swimming pools in those monstro-city Jewish-only Colonies that look like PRISON CAMPS fortresses on hilltops ugh!
That is UNIVERSAL CRIMINAL ABUSE of natural resources and adds to the Collective punishment WAR CRIME list.
While ALL their surrounding neighbours struggle to ration their water and keep it salt or sewage free to stay alive,Israel SUCKS the aquifers dry,just for its OWN deluded 'CHOSEN' wasteful and ILLEGAL needs.
And you wonder why it has SUCH a keen interest in Gaza and the Sinai?
It's all to do with WATER,GAS,and 'cleansing' the land of Arab/Muslims from the North to the South and East.
Egypt ALREADY sacrifices huge profits on its own natural resources by giving Israel gas at well below market prices,thanks to blackmail and annual subsidies from AMERICAN TAX-PAYER to Mubarak for continuing to PRETEND to be Democratic when he remains a brutal dictator.
WATER! WATER! GAS! GAS! And enlarging Eretz Israel.
But,stuck in the middle of ALL this are Gaza and the West Bank and Iraq! WATER,OIL,GAS!
Not only does Israel SUCK out America's money,and the blood of all its non-Jewish neighbours,but it ALSO sucks up a massive percentage of the WATER from the whole region,to the detriment of millions of people around them.
Look at the Jordan River(you can smell it even if you can't SEE it).
Look at the Dead Sea(if you can see it still).
Look at the Golan Heights(aquifers/arable farming land),if you don't get shot in the head by an Israeli sniper?
Look at the war-battered,sewage filled Mediterranean Sea(fish dying,water filled with human excrement).
Now Egypt and North Africa must protect thir Nile and desert aquifers,because populations are growing and spreading,the deserts are expanding,so there is a desperate attempt to reclaim arable land. This will mean more battles over water rights.
Not a drop can they afford to waste,and they should be very careful about who they make 'deals' with.Or Egypt could find itself and its people in VERY SHALLOW,salty,dirty water,while OTHERS take the life-preserving stuff!
