The spill is massive - the oil is over a huge area - and the fumes were so toxic and widespread that people were hospitalised as far away as over the border, in Jordan.
There is nothing in any news report about sabotage, but one does wonder.
Ping - Israel ping - oil spill ping.
Obama administration: “Hence, the State of Israel must
1) Cease oppressing the Palestinians
2) Cease all construction of housing in the occupied areas
3) Withdraw to the 1967 borders
4) Allow all Palestinians the immediate right of return to occupied Palestine
5) Emigrate from occupied Palestine or allow themselves to be gassed by returning Palestinians
6) Clean up the mess”
The EPA will probably fine Israel $50,000 per day....
Bibi’s fault. < /sarcasm>
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

The worst oil spill in the world, hands down, occurred in Canada long ago.
It occurred so long ago that the ‘environmentalists’ are suing to stop the cleanup.
The area is know as the Tar Sands.
Missed business opportunity for the Israelis...
They should fence in the area and charge admission to see it.
Gas mask rental is extra.
Sounds like the EPM is about as useful as the EPA.
Isn’t the border of Jordan very close by?
As far as a massive spill, yes it does look quite extensive. I’m not convinced it’s all that bad.
I am reminded that every time there is a spill like this, and some of them make this look like a drop of oil in a barrel, that a short time after it’s over, things return to normal and you’d probably not be able to tell it ever happened.
Thankfully we always have the EPA, the EPM, or some whacked out environmentalist group to go mental on us.
