My wife and I went to Israel back in 2009. While there one of our tour group asked our Israeli guide, "If the Jews are God's Chosen People, why did he give them the only piece of land in the Middle East that doesn't have oil"? The guide was clearly ready for this and responded without a stumble, "He gave us the land with all the rocks on it because He knew we would have to fight for it". Now maybe they've got both.
"Take a look at that". Sgt. Wilkerson-- CMBN. His last words after spotting a German tank on the other side of a hedgerow.

I'm already bracing for the new spate of SURELY THESE ARE THE END TIMES NOW ISRAEL HAS OIL posts, sermons, and articles.  ::)
ICEBREAKER THESIS CHRONOLOGY! -- Victor Suvorov's Stalin Grand Strategy theory, in lots and lots of chronological order...
Dawn of Armageddon -- narrative AAR for Dawn of War: Soulstorm: Ultimate Apocalypse
Survive Harder! -- Two season narrative AAR, an Amazon Blood Bowl career.
PanzOrc Corpz Generals -- Fantasy Wars narrative AAR, half a combined campaign.
Khazâd du-bekâr! -- narrative dwarf AAR for LotR BfME2 RotWK campaign.

Oh, good. I was about to mail this house payment. Now I can forget it.
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

Israel has been developing its natural gas resources for years.  the problem is that theyre offshore which explains why theyve been expanding their Navy.
Jarhead - Yeah. You're probably right.

Gus - I use sweatpants with flannel shorts to soak up my crotch sweat.

Banzai Cat - There is no "partial credit" in grammar. Like anal sex. It's either in, or it's not.

Mirth - We learned long ago that they key isn't to outrun Star, it's to outrun Gus.

Martok - I don't know if it's possible to have an "anti-boner"...but I now have one.

Gus - Celery is vile and has no reason to exist. Like underwear on Star.

^That's the whole point. The Golan Heights are 'occupied territory' and have been since 1967...in international eyes.

I thought even the UN admitted the validity of Israel's current borders.

Only in the Middle East can someone attack, get the shit kicked out of them, lose a bunch of real estate, and then have it treated as "occupied"
AFAIK, the UN's position on Israel's current borders has not changed since 1967. The occupation is in breach of the Geneva Convention as illegal annexation of land arising from the use of force. I'm sure many Israelis differ in their view, citing the strategic necessity, and the various powers around them that seek their destruction. 2 sides to the coin... :-\
The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

Foul Temptress! (Mirth replying to Gus) ;)

On a good day, our legislature has the prestige of a drunk urinating on a wall at 4am and getting most of it on his shoe. On a good day  ::) Steelgrave

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat
