If I was an Israeli enemy wanting to hinder their petro good fortune, I would first never admit Israels right to extraction regardless of the validity of their claim. Second I would open a an enviro front against the extraction and transport by court claims, protests, pressuring consuming entities. Third I would work diplomatically through sea laws etc, to deny shipping. Fourth terror attacks against shipping and receiving areas. You are going to see a world wide concerted effort against Israel (as if they’ve not had to deal with them before) along the lines of the so called “Palestinian Problem” , which has dragged on for 60+ years.

Up until somebody decides that profits are lower due to the inability to harass people on the world stage, and start a nuclear war between Israel and the Arabs.

Some of those people even live here in the US and belong to the Left.

“Without the technical expertise provided by the infidels, Israel’s enemies could never locate, extract or use hydrocarbons.”

Bingo.

Joel Rosenberg was at our church a few weeks ago and speculated that oil and gas in Israel would eventually draw in her enemies for another attack-to get the oil and gas.

They wouldn’t attack to ‘get’ the resources, but to make it difficult for Israel to benefit from it. Without the technical expertise provided by the infidels, Israel’s enemies could never locate, extract or use hydrocarbons. Unless camels run on light sweet crude, of course.

Fossil fuels markets are structured to a certain extent, modified by issues like distance and terrain, and politics.
Nevertheless, to a certain extent, the product is fungible.
The price will drop. Less money for the oil ticks.
And Israel will be able to afford even more weapons without damaging their economy.

This is actually fairly old news — but who cares. Neo, the irony is so delicious I think you should repeat the story each month!

Re the Russian connection: given Russia has a long term problem with Muslim separatists, Israel and Russia actually have a lot in common: Israel needs friends and support, and Russia needs expertise. It makes sense.

With the terror plot in Canada coming out of Iran, Israel may get Obama’s attention. Until Iran is sorted out, Israel will not be investing heavily in energy would be my guess.
