They came up with feta cheese and Israeli couscous.<br /><br />Have they not noticed Israel's hugely oversized presence on NASDAQ? Do they really think the economy is dependent on exports of feta cheese and couscous?<br /><br />Yes I'm sure they'll bring Israel to her knees any day now.<br /><br />LisaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-53006202358092565142011-05-30T16:51:30.048+03:002011-05-30T16:51:30.048+03:00And, Yaacov, I assume that the BDS crowd, in keepi...And, Yaacov, I assume that the BDS crowd, in keeping with its principles, will refuse to drink water made possible by Israeli technology, use whatever other software is available so their computers are not tainted by Israeli action, and will instruct their doctors, even in life-threatening situations, not to avail themselves of Israeli biotech and medical advances. Certainly these are people of principle who will adhere to their principles at whatever cost.chiefsnarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09800371343956832451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-11308259824927645402011-05-30T05:05:14.252+03:002011-05-30T05:05:14.252+03:00Well, that's what I found after about twenty m...Well, that's what I found after about twenty minutes of googling<br />http://www.iei-energy.co.il/IEI/files/c8/c88e0767-9251-4fdf-8e49-966b0c958d45.pdf<br />From the names, this was what Dore Gold was talking about.

Something this big would have been mentioned somewhere, no?<br />3.Dore Gold (the author) is a serious guy, whom I've known for decades, but I don't think he's an expert on this sort of thing. So how come he suddenly is?<br />4. The technology of extracting clean energy from shale is also something I've never heard of. Rather on the contrary: Greens love to kvetch about how shale extraction is so horrendous. Suddenly the Israelis are ready to solve the matter?<br /><br />None of which means it's not true, but I'm wary.Yaacovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835192312242961481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-70850154674209094762011-05-29T22:04:40.617+03:002011-05-29T22:04:40.617+03:00Yeah, if this happens, the conspiracy theories are...Yeah, if this happens, the conspiracy theories are going to sprout like mushrooms<br /><br />P.S.

Perhaps in a generation Israel will be one of the world's main energy suppliers, water suppliers (via technology), weapons suppliers (it already is), software suppliers (which it already sort of is), biotech suppliers, and with one of the healthiest demographics, as we discussed last week. This will truly be proof of the Elders of Zion myth. :~)Yaacovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835192312242961481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-56974666540151294422011-05-29T19:46:34.383+03:002011-05-29T19:46:34.383+03:00Another thing that will make Israel an even bigger...Another thing that will make Israel an even bigger player than it already is, is if Isarelis actually manage to find a clean way of extracting oil from shale<br />http://www.jpost.com/Features/FrontLines/Article.aspx?id=211676<br />If this happens, bye bye Arab stranglehold on the energy market, tooDimitrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4008006782907969381.post-49333815788683309282011-05-29T17:12:58.601+03:002011-05-29T17:12:58.601+03:00beautiful and being wilfully obnoxious:
Where is ...beautiful and being wilfully obnoxious:<br /><br />Where is the romancing of it to the green and not so green world?<br /><br />Some weeks ago the biggest German women's magazine Brigitte had a piece on the Dead Sea with Ahava featuring in it heavily (so I assume Ahava had paid some for the privilege ) - <br /><br />But who got the last word in the piece which made very beauty-hungry woman yearn for immediate switching to Dead Sea stuff if not a trip to it?<br /><br />A Palestinian soap manufacturer with some folksy moderatism after he had had a chance to complain oh so mildly mannered about all the "occupation" did to hurt him. Did he have to pay for the privilege also? If so, in all likelihood comparatively less than Ahava which came across all scientific and sober and state of the art. A woman's mind in front of a bath room mirror is not in sober mode, she wants to believe that the miracle will happen and some old folk wisdom no matter how fake will stick in her mind much more than what white coat said.Silkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16383345395827271854noreply@blogger.com
