Disturbia in Israelistine


The links below are to several articles regarding the natural gas resources in both Israel's and Gaza's coastline. It appears that Israel is in the process of coopting Gaza's resources. Whether or not this has any bearing on the recent conflict is beyond me but not so beyond the speculations of the authors.

I believe very strongly in Israel's right to exist. However, I also believe Israel has to stand for more than just another middle eastern country. While I like Israel better than its neighbors, that's too low a bar to act as a standard.

It has also become clear that both sides have decided that all members of the opposing sides are enemy combatants. When either side talks about harming innocents they are speaking solely of their own side; the other side has no innocents.

It's heartbreaking to see any of this happening.
