Major natural gas field found off Israeli coast

Here's some good news for us infidels and for the 'Zionist Regime' in particular.  In a welcome development, just in time for the New Year, the Israelis are reporting a major natural gas field off their northern coast.

Gas Field Confirmed Off Coast of Israel

JERUSALEM — Exploratory drilling off Israel’s northern coast this week has confirmed the existence of a major natural gas field — one of the world’s largest offshore gas finds of the past decade — leading the country’s infrastructure minister to call it “the most important energy news since the founding of the state.”

Houston-based Noble Energy, which is working with several Israeli partner companies, said that the field, named Leviathan, whose existence was suspected months ago, has at least 16 trillion cubic feet of gas at a likely market value of tens of billions of dollars and should turn Israel into an energy exporter.

“If it acts correctly, levelheadedly and responsibly, Israel can enjoy not only the benefit of using the gas, but it can also turn into a gas supplier in the Mediterranean region,” the infrastructure minister, Uzi Landau, said in a statement.

Israeli Infrastructure Minister Uzi Landau said last week that Israel will defend its claims to offshore oil “with all necessary force in the face of all these [Lebanese] threats,” while Lebanese politicians have called for more speedy efforts to exploit offshore resources.

This has got to piss off the muzzies.

The contrast between Israel's success and the muslim country failure has got to be putting the throat slashers' cognitive dissonance into overdrive.

With all of Israel's successes during the past 60+ years and the way that Islam and "Allah" view non-Muslims, you might think that some people would start to question the validity of Islamic beliefs or even the very existence of "Allah."

Israel's continued existence, let alone success, means consternation to the enemy. Which is very good indeed.

Good news for the only real democracy in the Middle East. I trust you do not sell it quickly to the highest bidder, but conserve it until alternative forms of energy are well established. And tell the Americans to keep their greedy hands of it!
