I don't understand, does Israel export a ton of natural gas or oil from the West Bank? I was unaware that Israel, or that part of the Middle East in general had much in the way of oil or gas. Have they made massive discoveries there?
(Btw, for the record, there are significant gas reserves in that part of the world and the government recently pushed for expansion in the sector. Nothing to do with this conversation, but I thought I'd mention it.)
Plus it's military is killing way less people, doesn't mass deploy depleted uranium weapons (as far as I know), isn't made of lunatic "Christian Knights", etc.
That's interesting, reading up on it a bit more, it seems to be similar to the US oil/gas boom in that it's all in shale oil. I had heard the quote that starts out this article: http://www.the-american-interest.com/2012/07/02/israels-saud... and it stayed with me.
