Pual, how do you get that Israel is stealing from people from this article. For one Israel borders the Mediterranean, there international lines have always been disputed. Why does everyone join the party line that everyone should hate Israel. They have made some serious problems for themselves, however they still do have a right to existence. Unlike what Levy thinks. I wonder if he would be the one to shoot an Israeli child just to start the extermination that everyone is calling for. For on I find it disgusting that everywhere I read there is always someone who is calling for Israels destruction. As if the first time wasn’t enough.

You might have mentioned the fact that Turkey conquered half of Cyprus, kicked out the Greeks living there and brought in settlers from Turkey to take their place.

Of course Israel is to blame, infused as as it is with delusions of preference, though Turkey could also be less demanding. Unfortunately, the USA is currently an Israeli puppet state, and so you cannot expect any help from that corner.

When will the Arabs finally realise that the majority of their infighting is orchestrated by Israel, and that were they to stand together, the Middle East would be a very different place.

In reply to Paul. Hi Paul, How can you justify what you call stealing? And what does this have to do with America's Noble Energy the company arranging natural gas surveying? This company is one of the stakeholders.

“Israel, as usual, appears to be trying to steal from others, and goes running to their media operators to manufacture blame on the nations complaining about Israel’s typically larcenous behaviour. Everyday it becomes clearer where the real trouble originates.”

Paul I agree one hundred percent.

Hi Vassilis,

Many thanks for the name correction. I also believe the gas drilling could be a curse – especially with the Turks involved. This Erdogan is definitely trying to become a “regional Napoleon” or should I say Sultan?

I personally think that tourism and related industries are the best Desalination is very expensive and results in dumping heavily saline brine back into the sea.
