"Jeeze if I might think you were a Islamic Fundamentilist with your
single minded insuinations against Israel in ever post you make."

is an insult, AB, and you know it. It is below you.

A pipeline from the Red Sea? It can't be the port of Aqaba as that is
in Jordan. But it could be from Eilat. That is a huge engineering
project. I wonder what the ecological impacts might be? This will be
paid for directly or indirectly by the US taxpayer.

Thanks for this info, Fanta.

Not an insult. An observation.

I have seen inserts against israel in most posts you have made.

Was just wondering if you knew any other facts. Or do all the facts in
the middle east say that Israel is at fault in all things?

I had thought you a man of fairness but I have not seen it on these
subjects.

AB, until you can see an insult for what it is, and apologize, I have no
interest in spending time chatting with you.

I came into these threads to learn from you and all you have handed me
is one side.

When I see you placing information from all sides in front of me I may
withdraw my earlier statements.

Most of the information I have found that cooborates that information
that you have presented can be found only on Islamic sites. Hence my
statement.

For example you did not mention the massecree at Hebron in 1929 of Jews
that had been living there since before the 1800's. If you only tell me
how many arabs have died at the hands of the 'viscoius jews' and fail to
mention that there are arabs doing the same things it appears you are
one sided to me.

Oceans,
Jordan and Israel are collaborating on the project, since they both
share the dead sea.
This is dated 2002 and I just read the other day that Jordan has pledged
another 1 billion. The other Arab States are against Jordan or any other
Arab State to cooperate with Israel. This has been slowing the project
significantly!

Israel and Jordan have agreed on a plan to build an $800 million
pipeline to rescue the shrinking Dead Sea, which they share.
They propose to pipe water north from the Gulf of Aqaba in Red Sea to
the Dead Sea, which is falling by about one metre (three feet) a year.

The pipeline will stretch about 320 km (200 miles), according to the
plans which were announced at the World Summit on Sustainable
Development in Johannesburg.

This is interesting Invisible,,,
Just for you. so now you can comment on Israel!!!


International aid and help from the World Bank would probably be sought
in order to build the pipeline, said senior Israeli Foreign Ministry
official Jacob Keidar.

Mr Keidar told Reuters news agency that Germany was one of the countries
which had expressed an interest in aiding the plan.

it looks like it's one side AB because one side REALLY AGGRESSIVELY
DOMINATES the other.

and violates the universal codes of morality and statesmanship.

it's not that we take such pleasure in calling out some the greatest
crimes against humanity...even the Jewish people...what i call the real
Jews are deeply wounded and saddened by the hypocrisies between their
politics and their beautiful culture.

Thanks for the additonal information, Fanta. Good catch on noticing this
in the first place and drawing it to our attention.

It is an intriguing project, isn't it? A long time ago -- Eisehower and
the "Atoms for Peace" program -- it was proposed to use small nuclear
explosions for civil engineering projects, including some in the Middle
East. One scheme was to build a second canal from the Med to the Red
Sea via the Sinai Peninsula and the Gulf of Aqaba.

Nothing came of that program, but there has remained the thought that
large multi-party civil engineering projects might bring conflicting
parties closer together. (See the Lowdermilk Plan) Sounds like this may
be one.

For better or for worse, as the largest contributor to the World Bank,
it will come back on the shoulders of US tax-payers. Perhaps this will
be worth it, though.

Perhaps,
What did you think about Baruch Kimmerling, Professor of Sociology at
the Hebrew University,
He died you know, but I was reading something he wrote about the firing
of University Professor that dont agree with the current administrations
ideas of the ME, and not just at the Hebrew University.

Can a “Patriotic” Mob Take Over the Universities?
by Baruch Kimmerling*

In the American academy, there is currently an organized campaign by
some public figures to vilify prominent researchers and departments that
are regarded as “anti-American” or even as “anti-Semitic” because their
research and teaching are not in accordance with the views of the recent
American administration. Universities are especially at risk if their
faculty members are of Arab or -- even “worse” -- of Palestinian origin.
The recent scandalous decision of the New York City Department of
Education to bar Rashid Khalidi, one of Columbia University’s finest
scholars, from instructing public school teachers is an example of this
effort. Indeed Khalidi, a first-rate academic and a genuine
intellectual, has often spoken of both the discriminatory laws within
Israel that favor Jews and of the oppression of Palestinians in the
occupied territories, facts that no honest and informed person would
contest. One the other hand, he has consistently condemned suicide
bombings as "war crimes," while asserting the right of Palestinians to
resist the occupation without harming Israeli civilians. Many Jewish
intellectuals in Israel and around the world share these completely
legitimate opinions.

This guy was a Jew correct!!

Too bad there isn't a universal code of morality against wearing a bomb
and climbing onto a bus filled with children.

Too bad there isn't a universal code of morality against using mentally
retarded children as walking bombs.

If you want to see how much the Palestinians value their children,
follow this link. Be warned, it is extremely graphic.

All these websites say dead sea project, so I guess there should be
something in it, though it looks more like a desalination project.

I agree and I think we Americans hold the key. If we just had a true
Leader. How can you hope to lead the world if you cant get your own
people to follow you???flowerforyou

bl8ant,

The difference is that those are Palestinian children who were murdered
by Palestinians. They were taken advantage of, because they were
mentally retarded. I have read interviews with some of the children's
parents, it was heartbreaking. They didn't know that their children had
been pulled into that. They didn't want that for their children.

There was a young man who wanted to be an astronaut. Israeli IDF
members risked their own lives to remove the bomb from that boy and in
doing so, saved his life.

I have watched pallywood, I have seen the dead walk. I question
everything that comes out of the Palestinian media machine.
