What if Israel Had Oil
I was reading some quotes of Golda Meir Pime Minister of Israel (1969-74 ) and this one caught my eye:
Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil .
This got me thinking, what would happen if Israel had oil. It is just around the size of Kuwait and had some good oil wells, and maybe some off shore gas reserves. How would things change? They did have control of the Sinai and its wells, but they returned that to Egypt
So would their be a bigger conflict in the region? Or none at all?What about OPEC would that ever have been created? Or even considering maybe they would have joined OPEC.
Be an interesting scenario to see. I think one factor that would really be interesting is to see how a country with vast oil reserves be.

Israel does have some oil, albeit indirectly, and it has manufacturing and processing technology to maximize revenue for any crude oil it receives.

Would they have prefered to be left in Egypt as slaves under the Pharao?
Sigh. They will -never- be satisfied with what God gives them… never.
This is so typical of their ungratefulness that is described in the Quran.
the problem is more simple: GOD!
Fundamentalist believes either from east or west are the problem. God does not exist!
and it should not be the cause for fighting…
That land will remain bloody as long as anybody beliive in a god that give them the right to kill.
It appears that God has left Israel with one source of survival. HIM!
