I Think I Got My Answer On Sam Kiley’s Slip

Sam Kiley wrote that a Hizbullah missile sunk the INS Hanit, and I pondered out loud why would someone make such a stupid mistake. Well, I got my answer – Kiley is stupid.

Reporting on the latest natural gas discovery in the Mediterranean, Kiley casually imposes his “Israel-Bad” dogma on the matter, even though it’s totally unrelated to the topic.

A natural gas bonanza is about to begin. By the end of this year Israel will be looking to shift the production of electricity to gas-powered generators producing half the Jewish state’s wattage.

The change will save it $12bn (£8m), which was the net extra cost caused by the need to import coal to cover the huge drop, from 40% of fuel for electrical generation to zero, caused by the destruction of gas pipelines from Egypt by militant groups.

As Eli Glickman, chief operating officer of Israel electric, said: “Israel was a state from the bible of milk and money, now we’re going to be a state of milk, honey and gas.”

Once entirely dependent on imported fuel, Israel will soon be a gas exporter – thanks to the discovery of the Levant gas field.

Alas:

That is good news for Israelis. But will this mean that an economically and power independent country would be more, or less, disposed to negotiating a long term solution the the occupation of the West bank and siege of the Gaza Strip?

By God, Copernicus was wrong! The world doesn’t revolve around the sun, it revolves around the Palestinians! Or at least, Kiley’s mindset is. You would think that a new Israeli revenue source would be put first and foremost to use in advancing Israeli industry, education, welfare and security. No, for non-Israelis, it is apparently essential for Israel to put focus on other, more “pressing” issues first.

Replace the people they said. Well, SkyNews replaced Dominic Waghorn with a different idiot.

Edit: Inesse points out in the comments that Kiley wrote “state… of milk and money“.

    Re: your Copernicus comment. Was that just another Pollack joke disguised as political commentary?
