since months. Next time animal protectors will protest, that drills disturb the courtship of homars and murenas.

What Zalul demands is so obviously necessary, being the risks of a spill or contamination very possible. How can the government be so blind or careless? In Spanish we say "there is no better blind that the one that doesn't want to see" But why will WE. the citizens, be paying the price of their blindness and greed when Zalul is seeing very clearly ????

It's a bit hard to believe that Israel, capable of building an "invisible" nuclear reactor and operating it for decades, does not have proper regulations for offshore drilling.

There is 100% certainty that between 1 second from now 'til the next 10 years a huge earthquake seen only once every 80-90 years in the region will take place, killing at least 14,000 Israelis (1 in every 270), affecting millions and costing us in the long run our entire yearly GDP. Yet we barely spend a few millions on preparedness for it and only in the last few years. Most leaders are with their heads in the cloud not aware that the greatest crisis for Israel is just around the corner. If they don't prepare appropriately for that, why on earth would they care about an oil lake out at sea?
