wear condoms. it will help against STDs as well.

should just pray. When the Jews pray for rain they get it.

They will have to drink their oil

Yes overpopulation is the problem. But unlikely that Arabs will stop reproducing. Personally, I think that several things will happen: 1. They will press the world for aid. They will threaten to send their youth abroad to Europe. 2. They will displace minorities in Arab countries. Kurds and Assyrians will be in big trouble. 3. They will start wars with weaker or perceived to be weaker nations around. Since Israel is small and has little water and many weapons, they will likely attack in Africa. Watch out Ethiopia, Eritrea.

while the clowns use what's left for their golf courses. There will be a revolution in the Arab world, before they all perish from thirst. The planet has ways of reclaiming its lands from the follies of man....

It's this way....if you can't figure out how to make do with your resources ( in a way like China implemented the one child policy long ago) then keep your population down!!!!!!!!!! DOH, get it?

Israel will solve their problems. Israel is good at that. Running to help people. Israel has to show the world that we humane.........Let them drink their oil.

And if I thought Israel's leaders had their heads up their kiesters over our water crisis, the Arabs make us look like amateurs at wasting water we don't have. Many people are hinting that the next muddle east war may be over water, and Israel may have little to do with it as it's other neighbors who are in deeper doo doo due to their own corrupt mismanagement. Will the Arabs take their multi-billions in oil money and make water? Doubtful. Will the Arabs stop subsidizing cheap agriculture? Unlikely. Will the Arabs do little, and then some years down the road concoct a "zionist conspiracy" that has "stolen" all their water? Probably.

Obviously Allah hates Arabs and loves Jews, he put us in the same place, and gave us brains to build desalinization plants. It gave Arabs the oil so they can get fat, rich and stupid, and then die of thirst. As the yiddish curse says, "May you go rich and then go poor".

Israel has suffered from the same shortage of rainfall as its Arab neighbors, but has done far more to address the issue. (Yes, Israel can always do better.) Israel of course invented trickle irrigation, making efficient use of almost every drop. BGU's center for desert studies knows more about agriculture in dry conditions than anyone. And Israel's agriculture sector relies heavily on "grey water", not expensive fresh water. And, apropos, Israel's desalination technology is far more energy efficient than that used by Gulf countries. Some Israeli technology makes its way to Arab countries via "fronts" (like Turkey). But if they could set aside their hatred and envy they would be better off.

us, in Israel, too. It is a crucial area where cooperation and education can achieve harmony. We, in Israel, use many techniques to save and re-use water. If we haven't done it already, we should offer to assist other mideastern nations. Beyond offers, there is nothing more we can do.

So, in the past 70 years the Arab world could have co-operated with Israel and the region could have been developed to 'first world' standards. Israeli expertise could have been shared with the neighbouring countries and water de-salination plants, hydroponic agricultural systems and vastly improved sanitation could have been the norm by now in Arab countries. But no, in their great wisdom the arab leaders have chosen for their people war, corruption and humiliation and all in the name of Arab pride and honour. Unfortunately, due to their general lack of education, the arab street has followed their corrupt leadership like sheep and will die of thirst as a result.

Arabs likely to use nuclear power to desalinate water but that could be dangerous to Israel in the future. Israel water is ground water supply is dropping fast, reuse of water and drip irrigation have only delayed the problem. A true fix will be costly, farming and manufacturing at long term risk if recycling water to drink starts.

for nothing. Israel lives and Arabs are in danger of self-destruction due to overpopulation.

Choosing death over life; what a marvelous idea. The arabs following their corrupt / wortless leaders will die of thirst --- Whoa !, Less 1.3 billion of THEM ?. Then we will have peace and plenty of water. Those idiots are too stupid to ask israel for help ! I suppose that oil in it's pure form, without additive, is drinkeable ?

... that what oil was to the 20th century, water will be to the 21st century. There is some satisfaction in the fact that the country that has the most advanced desert reclamation technology, desalination expertise and over 100 years of irrigation experience (Israel) is the one country that can help the Arab world in combatting their serious water shortages, but Arab hubris seems to prefer that millions of their citizens starve, die of thirst and are plagued by diseases easily combatted with good sanitation rather than take the logical step of establishing real ties. Oh well. You cannot drink oil, and it would appear that the Arabs are destined to find this out the hard way.

Arabs - don't worry, Europe will save you. They have all the water you could ever dream of and are unwilling to halt Islamic immigration. Enjoy taking over their continent. In the meantime Israel will pray for rain over the Kinneret and continue to assure our own water supply with responsibility and care.

Some of Israel's immediate neighbors have a major water crisis and no oil, and thirsty neighbors are very bad news for Israel. Since wars cost billions (without counting the terrible loss of life) and desalinization plants cost only millions, it should be a top priority of the international community to supply the near east countries with desalinization plants to maintain regional stability.

In paradise along with their 72 virgins there are supposed to be rivers of milk and alcohol free wine so they will have plenty to drink without water. If the arabs had half a brain between them they would realize that there is more to be gained by peacefully asking Israel to help them with water management than there is from jihad.

This article is probably more important than those about the useless posturing for "peace" (i.e. Jews trading land for Arab taqqiya). Drought is the sort of Judgment that affects regions and slays young and old. My first thought is reflected in the majority of the talkbacks - the Arabs caused their problem and if they weren't evil (corrupt, insert-unfavorable-adjective-here), they could fix it. But that is not how we think. We are profoundly grateful to HaShem for feeding/watering us His sheep. We can't afford to think less of others, even evil others. Bunny's comment is very true, and very much reminds me of Eliyahu, but perhaps mocking their false god isn't what we're supposed to do just now. We pray for rain over Kinneret, and we use gratefully each drop He gives us. Again, gratitude doesn't give room for other thoughts. Robert, Sarah and others of course have the solution. If you read their other talkbacks, you will understand why - these are wise individuals (no flattery, just a fact). The ONLY thing we can do in a situation where our enemies' children are thirsty is offer to help them give their kids water. Will they listen? I dunno. The ones who do will survive. We can be grateful for every Arab brat who has water because their parents listened to us. Being a conduit through whom the Almighty blesses others is a blessing in itself. Maybe this will be read by someone in a position to say something, and maybe the Arabs will listen.

Who knows better how to save water in arid agricultural environments than Israel and technology that is in demand globally? Because of Arab racism and hubris they refuse to speak to Israel as regional conferences or buy their technology, and the results show. Since Al-Qaeda keeps saying the world is "stealing" Arab oil, let's let them keep it and drink it instead of water.

Israel already offered a desalination plant, to be built near Haifa, with a pipe that runs right into Damascus, but was absolutely rejected. Assad said such an agreement would keep Israel from giving them the Golan Heights, so #19 is correct - it's Arab hubris behind their problems, not water. Unfortunately, many Arabs may have to die in senseless wars for them to finally reach the logical conclusion.

Where the billionaire is freezing to death, and is forced to burn his 100$ bills to get warm... Israel, this is your chance to invest, build and market dieselisation and water purification technology to the Arab world... would be nice to see them forget about their pathetic boycott of Jewish brain power.

because they seem to love you guys so much.

Good then they can pay $200. a barrel of water then

...scarcity. If the water is scarce NOW and if Arabs numbering 360 million have a water crisis NOW, how can they multiply to 600 million by 2050 without water? Even if Arabs are world champions in producing babies, babies and adults need water and the double amount of Arabs and even less water in the Arab world in the future will lead to a population DECLINE - not growth. If an area or land cannot sustain its population with food and water, the population will die out. Second flawed logic: the average number of kids per fertile woman in the Arab world is DECLINING. So how could the population rise to 600 million by 2050?

got rich from oil which in due course has resulted in a changing climate which has its knock on effect. little rain. warmer temperatures and subsequently the demise of the islamic worlds rise to global dominion.
