These are countries that would cut off their nose to spite their face.
And the funny part about all of this? Israel is the epitamy of global warming. It is hot there, has frequent weather changes and is in the dessert. if anything, people there should be starving, have no water and live in constant fear of burning up.
Yet Israel continues to thrive in a petroleum based environment while it’s neighbors are plagued with the problems that the UN says global warming is doing.
Basically the Jewish nation has solved the global warming problem and have the solution. But the worlds hatred of Israel is more important than solving a problem that is killing millions.
I have no sympathy.
A Taliban militant gets lost and is wandering around the desert looking for water.
He finally arrives at a store run by a Jew and asks for water.
The Jewish vendor tells him he doesn’t have any water but can gladly sell him a tie.
The Taliban begins to curse and yell at the Jewish storeowner.
The Jew offers the rude militant an idea: Beyond the hill, there is a restaurant; they can sell you water.
The Taliban keeps cursing and finally leaves toward the hill.
An hour later he’s back at the tie store. He walks in and tells the merchant: “Your brother tells me I need a tie to get into the restaurant”...
Funny, I don’t remember Egypt fretting a lot about the impact the Aswan would have on its neighbors.
Egypt grows primarily cotton, rice, wheat, corn, sugarcane, sugar beets, onions, and beans. I am not a farmer, but I understand that all of these save onions are fairly water intensive. There are less-water intensive wheat cultivars and less water-intensive crops. But I don’t see the Egyptians doing so.
FYI
-——the world leader in desalinization——
I doubt it.
I would think that Saudi Arabia produces more desalinized water than Israel.
Regarding usage and conservation, they came to Arizona and learned the Israeli methods. It is likely Israelis in Arizona taught them.
