CAPTAIN OBVIOUS ,   SAFED OBVIOUS   (12.23.14)
I respectfully suggest and request that 1% of Gas profits be given directly to the many poor in Israel . This would greatly improve the lives of many many people and alleviate suffering and is feasible IMHO.

The world has plenty of natural gas, sufficient for the next 500 years. In the US the price of natural gas is down 30% in 2014. A monopoly is usually behind high prices while open competition lowers the price. Israel must break the natural gas monopolies to be competitive in the market.

Let's not forget that before Delek and Noble appeared on the scene and invested millions to find and tap the gas, the "state" and the "people" were doing nothing, perhaps not even looking for gas resources. This "anti-trust" move is a reversion to the old Israel where the minute a tangible is discovered, they tax or otherwise seek to control it rather than allow the market to develop it. Gila should go back to the ivy tower he crawled out of to create this mess.
