I hear Israel has a water shortage...or will in the near future. We have an overabundance of water and always have...it would seem only natural that neighbors do fair trading. But between Hizbullah and readers like #17, that will never happen in a million years. It's really too bad.

According to G-ds boundries, Lebanon is part of Yisra'el. So, guess what, it is Yisra'els gas and also her land.

I was just addressing a claim made by the Lebanese a while ago that we stole their national dishes such as falafel, humous and tabouleh.

If this is true,why in the world would any country allow it's enemy to use the income from gas to buy casams, to be used against the country.

no one in the wold measuring gas in cubic feet. 3 000 000 000 (cubic feet) = 84 950 539.8 cubic meters only 84 million, why didn't gave it in cubic centimeters? the bigger the number, the bigger the effect on the stock market.

Can you show the oil grabbed by Jews from Arabs? This one was really rich... And if you didn't noice - we don't self-pity ourselves when we are attacked, we fight back.

This gas belongs to the Palestinian people and maybe the Lebanese people. Everything that is built upon Palestine belongs to the Palestinians, you Ashkenazi and Ethiopian Jews have no claim to anything in the Levant. You are illegal settlers in our lands. The land is ours, everything on it is ours.

You'll see when you have to bow down to God of Israel, you'll see when the world has to bow down to God of Israel. Jealousy is a horrible thing. I'm gentile and just happy for the 2nd chance. They took Israel's land like we took the Native Indian's land.

Get out of Sweden turkey. You don't belong there running your mouth. Go home to Gaza and fight for what you believe. Although you will lose as you should. Eretz Yisra'el belongs to the sons of Avraham.

And nothing in Sweden belongs to the Arabs.

Regards from Israel.

Actually people like #17 are pretty few, most of us hold no ill will towards the Lebanese people and we don't want to bomb or invade your country unless Hezbollah or the PLO fire their crap from your territory. It's really sad to bear witness to what Lebanon has become: A country of crazy Muslims while the majority of the Lebanese are actually christian and live outside the country. What's worse is that the only armed resistance to Hezbollah and the PLO factions, the SLA, was wrecked due to the actions of our decorated war hero Ehud Barak. Both of our countries are in this mess thanks to him. I really hope that a day will come when Hezbollah is gone and our countries could then trade, share and have normal ties that normal countries have, until then we will have to live in the less than optimistic reality.

...bark here?. Sweden is not safe for you either. REAL Swedes hate your guts and it is easy to deal with you even there, in your Malmo Mulsim "paradise". I just LOVE when the Swedes send mounted riot police and release on you a salvo of batons, like they did a few weeks ago. SO wherever you go, you get beaten and kicked out. Get a hint - go back to your ancestral hell-hole in Arabia! Your genocidal halucinations about the Land of Israel (quoting our 4000 year old BIBLE) . I never heard this land being called anything else, with all your hard work of distorting history and re-writing the Koran to fit your delusions.

If the Lebanese try take any of this ISRAELI gas then there will probably be another war with Lebanon but this time it wont be just about defeating terrorists. We will smash the Lebanese army and provided we have a COMPITANT government in Israel we will not agree to any ceasefire based on Lebanons terms and will not concede even 1 inch of Israels gas. There is alot of money involved here and arguments over money have a history of turning into wars. The arabs have most the worlds oil, Egypts gas reserves alone dwarf whats been found in Haifa we must not try again to be the politicly correct nice guy just lookiing for love willing to make any concession for it. We must stand up and say this gas belongs to us in full and anybody who wants it is going to have to fight for it.

At least we have somewhere to go. Jews don't have no where and soon Palestine will be ours agian the demographic time bomb is ticking!

Too much gas in there.

Uhhhh, zero, notta, nothing, zippo.

several years ago Hizbullah blocked up a river leading into the Jordan in Israel essentially depleting part of the water resources Israel uses, and share with Jordanians and Pals. The good news is - Israel is a self-sufficient technologically advanced country. We're masters at drip irrigation and water desalination, which our new gas find will help us to power. It works out well. Shame - Israel could have been a trade partner with all of its neighbors but instead Arabs think its best to boycott and kill Israelis. So Israel will grow and prosper, and Arabs will get poorer while raising their Korans in the air in defiance.

It's crap and resembles more of a Greek food than Middle Eastern. I've tried falafel in Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Dubai. Hands down, Israel has the best (for my taste) and to tell the truth...probably the more hygienic as well.

and displaced or killed the population in Israel, Egypt, then it makes sense that NONE of the land belongs to the Arabs who are illegal occupiers. It's very funny. Your post reminds me of the claims of Arafat in the 1990s - that the Pals would have developed all the great Israeli technologies if Israel didn't steal the land and take its resources. Yet the Pals are the biggest recipients of cash aid from any group in the world, and the only export they managed to come up with is terrorism. If it wasn't for Jews, and Israelis, no Intel plants, no drip irrigation, no water turbines to produce electricity, and of course, no gas deposits found. Infact, the only ones who do deserve some of the new found wealth in Israel are the under-served populations - the POOR. Last I checked, Pals aren't Israeli citizens. Enjoy.

Not so much because of their hate towards Israel and massive jealousy, but because of their own corruption and mis-management. "Lebanon's energy market is depleted, forcing Beirut to import natural gas from Egypt." It's that simple. Lebanon is bent on robbing its neighbor to save itself. Not much different than the argument by Pals who sneak into Israel to steal cars and farm equipment.

Hey you bunch of ding dongs... If part of this reserve is in Lebanese territorial waters, then GUESS WHAT? THAT part belongs to them. I guess Israel will try and steal this too..

Israel always believes it is outside the law. Big deal they didn't sign any agreements, international law still applies. If international law does not apply then what protects Israeli gas from someone else just drilling and taking their Gas? Can't have it both ways, even though you are used to stealing from Palestinians. Doesn't mean you can steal from everyone. You are still trying to steal the deposits off the Gaza coast line.

The natural gas find is located along the 33*N latitude line and this is in Israel just like Mount Meron is within Israel and not inside Lebanon.

this is why we have international law. you should try it some time.

Of course, Lebanon plans to appeal to infamous anti-Israel JEW-HATER, the UN. The UN is vehemently against Jewish Self-Defense. The UN is outraged that Jews live on their own Land. Jew-hater UN takes the side of Islamo Fascists who seek to steal G-D's Holy Land. The UN will certainly take the side of Islamics who seek to steal Jewish oil. Get Israel and America out of ruthless humanity-haters, the UN!

You forgot to blame Bush
