Judes had no interest whatsoever on Palestine.Until they realized that it is full of oil and urane.
"Please let me Wonder"?
That is the plain explanation of the Middle East crisis.

Why is Tibet so important to chinese greed?
It´s not their security(the Himalayas).
All over again:Tibet is full of gold etc.

I'm not sure where you got your information about oil or uranium ("urane"?) in Israel, but I would offer a quote from Gold Meir:

"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!"

The Jews ("Judes"?) are interested in Israel because they see it as their "homeland" as much as the Palestinians see Palestine (as they call it) as their homeland.

But the original question that started this series of postings has to do with oil in the Middle East, but somehow others have turned this from geology/geography into politics. Too bad.

Golda Meir didn´t know the facts behind the scene.
"Moses" is a semi-fictional character.
The Jews wrote the bible because they wanted to promote their greed actions and create their own "history".
Now 2 billion people believe in that bullshit(horseshit).
What???
International politics is all about natural resources and money.
Oil is money,gold is money,uraine is money,weapons are money,war is money etc.
Many nations and countries have lost their homeland or some part of it.American Indians,Russia,Sweden,Africans etc.etc.
Even the best country in the world,Finland,lost Carelia in WW 2.
Read sionism.It is as enlightening as "Mein Kampf".
Have respect to people who have studied these things 60 yrs.

Certainly no disrespect is intended in my reply to your post, but you are obviously biased against the Jews. I am sad that you cannot have a discussion with strangers without cursing and using bad language. Perhaps you should find another website where you can reinforce your own prejudices and find people who will agree with everything you write and think. Since you have already made up your mind, please don't cloud your judgment with the facts.

Dear Friend,

I have nothing against the Jews.All my jewish friends are very sympathetic.
You are probably a Jew.
You don´t like that I am on your website.
So you will restrict my freedom of expressing my opinion!
And that is just the way Jews manipulate the media,Hollywood etc.
Your statement of my "bad language" is ridiculous.I´ve studied"Oxford English" 10 yrs at a certain school in England.I come from circles unknown to you.
Do you know,or do you want to know,what is a fact?
Even in that perspective..
..Oh I will not disturbe you and your quosifacts..

But do not step on my blue suede shoes.
(Got any sense of humor?)

Because water table is too low so water moisture cotent is very low so oil is more in the middle east...... also gold mines can be present in that which made more oil content in that place......

NOT only is there a LOT of oil in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia BUT the oil API numbers are so good of its latest discoveries that you can almost go directly into your tank of your car and drive with it.....which means less money to process it to what ever end product the WORLD requires and will pay top dollar for it ........

But it was an oil dig in The US by Americans in the lets say late 18 Hundreds?

Americans, great invention, cheap to say,
you got cheated by your own invention?

Arabs where just lucky to sit on oil!
Now you are jelous?

Oil is another reason for war, just as your short vision!!

Everybody gets lied to!
First Parents, and Family, then Teachers and School!

So I hope you will realize, you got f u c k e d from the beginning. What amazes me, over and over again!!

Not Arabs, Asians, Europeans, or Africans or Any!
Your Government!!

Your Government uses its people like puppets, over and over,
and pretends to be the Land of the Free?


Nothing is Perfect, but your attitude towards other Governments or People is shameless!
Very uninformed about the oil or gas you are talking about?
Another loudmouth?? That knows everything!!

My father since 1952 has Drilled Oil and Gas.
It is not so, as your simple mind can see!!!
But as he, do not agree with your Wars and Fights for Oil!

Please shut up, with cheap comments, base your comment on something, anything!
To be Arrogant has its charm, the French mastered it long time ago.

Please! Otherwise it is not even a comment!

Or otherwise, we of all other Lesser Nations, witch we are not, have to agree, that all so Called Americans, are better.
If you think you are better, be so!
Please go on and on!

You became our downfall, you will be our biggest downfall!!
A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing, and we all beleived it was........

I am very Greatfull for the US help in World War II.
But if not for the Japanese, bombing you at Pearl Harbor,
how long would you have waited???

Why do you think you are so great, or greater or better than the rest? To think you are great is fine!

To think to be better than the rest of the world, has been a clear awakening to the rest of us!!

Yes that is what they say!
But how is it possible that the Poles shifted so much?

I am glad for the Arabs that they have something worth a lot!
Maybe a Curse, but I think Humans will even fight over anything.

If we do not accept that we came from, we will never learn!

Not to learn, will lose the battle,
to survive!

So simple, but we think simple is stupid.

Simplicity has always been the key.


Just like Coal under extreme pressure becomes a diamond!
Just like coal came from plant residue.
Etc. etc...


Funny how we all fight on dead plants.
And how we should fight for new ones!!

Shows how cheap and stupid we still are!

Crude Oil was Drilled and Invented by Americans!
Somewhere in the South Texas or so!

Then you realized you did not have a little shit pool on your
own land!!!

Then you started to TERRORIZE the rest of the WORLD that did!

And funny how most Americans do not see it like that!
Because oil is still the number one burner!

Americans use 2 times more energy than any other in any country

Well that doesnt answer the question...Why is oil in a hundreds of different places in the earth?
Oil is made by the earth, same as coal,gold, diamonds, metals of all kinds and the list goes on. we as the USA sit on large reservoir, same as china, russia, south america not to even mention the sea..(did you miss the latest oil spill in the gulf?)
Our problem is we dont drill for it (thanks democrats)texas sits on large oil reservoirs, in the 1980's they just simply capped them off until the price goes up

In terms of oil reserves, the Middle East is second to none. This “oil miracle” of the world has been shaped by a set of favorable factors, some global and others local, inscribed in the geologic history of the region.

Western oil cartels decided to dominate that region and exploit their resources, while keeping other oil resources more or less unpublicized.

Limestone is generally a crystallization product, not a sedimentation product. Some organic debris is always settling to the ocean floor, it gets trapped in the limestone rock that is being formed, usually in warm shallow seas.

carbon and hydrogen are very common elements in the universe. When the earth was formed, there was a lot of carbon and hydrogen present. Oxygen reacts with carbon to produce carbon dioxide, once very very abundant in the earth's atmosphere, and with hydrogen to produce water. We have thousands of feet of limestone deposits and thousands of feet of water on our surface.

A lot of other metals and semi-metals like silicon also unite with oxygen. We have lots of silicon dioxide, also known as sand on the earth's surface too.

But it stands to reason there was not enough oxygen to "burn" all the carbon and hydrogen, and deep within the earth there are deposits of abiogenic "oil" that has migrated over the ages towards the surface, sometime becoming trappen under solid sheets of limestone, particularly in domed structures.

Much of the world has not been explored for oil in a thorough manner. We have more oil in the US than anyone will admit. We have huge new fields being explored in the northern plains and in the Gulf of Mexico. New Mexico and Utah have huge resources as well. . . . not to mention Alaska.

By the time the Russians have confessed their resources it will be evident we have several hundred years' supply.

But why burn it all? We also have huge nuclear resources not just Uranium but Thorium, which is four times as abundant as Uranium. . . .

And Cold Fusion is being vetted as a reality too. Just have not found the way to harness it industrially to produce power yet. . . .

No, our oil cartel interests have been running the world, and playing us for dopes. There's no reason we should not have a much better standard of living and less pollution.

Don't give them their little ace for globalization by believing the global warming hoax, either.

Hi everyone,
am new in this discussion and after i read trough these opinions, i came to realize that we all have different ideas about oil and they all seem to hold water.
well, since the nile is considered to be the longest river in the world, some people also believe that there is an underground oil river that flows with the nile and ends up in the middle east and thats why there is so much oil.

The forest that was there was erradicated by a heavenly body which burried the vegitation and now apears as a great sandy scar spread across the Middle East and the top part of Africa.

Imagine throwing a sandstone the side of a football at a 45 degree angle at your lawn out in the backyard. Thats the Middle east and top part of Africa.

This happened millions of years ago so plenty of time for the foliage to turn to "fossil" fuel.

Next Question.

Yes there is my friend. You all follow the leader and focus on oil. Lets focus on technology., The United States of America are the leaders in this field. According to some engineers we are at a point where we could not only constract a technological combustion engine to burn alternative fuels, futhermore cleaner burning and ecocologically friendly. The only reason we don't go there is that too much money is already invested in the oil industry and the world econconomy would suffer drastically. I read that there are several other souurces for autumobil fuels at our disposals. One is the processing of maguay alcocol for fuel use. It burns more efficiently and is already being processed for the making of tequila. The maguay planr is very versitile and grows just about any where. Here in the southwest I grow it as a tradition. Think out of the square. Nilchinaa.

I am an American. I'm proud of that. America has done great things for planet Earth. We have also done some things wrong. To be honest we all have alot to regret.We do not think we are better than anyone else. We simply belive anything is possible if we try hard enough. We have a dream for the future, and we want everyone, who wants to, to come with us. I don't like the way we are tied to oil, ours or yours. The fact is we are, the world is. Blaming eachother for what we all helped create is stupid. With 6-7 billon people on this planet, we no longer can afford to be stupid.

That is Laughable ; the "gift" was of no use for centuries - during which the locals lived in Desert, more or less.

The fact that the Oil of the world is being used up is proved from the fact that Oil companies are exploring in more difficult places now - deep seas
- and with the rise of China and India, there is greater demand - so the price is rising.

The existence of large deposits of oil are not found only in the Middle East. Some information regarding oil production is hyped with design to shape your political and economic outlook on the issues. For instance, if one looks at top producing countries you will find Russia may be outdoing Saudi Arabia in certain years.

The United States has surplus reserve deposits and is ranking third in world oil production better than Iran, Iraq, and countries like Libya which is roughly around only 17th in world production.

As for the FLOOD ; I believe it is a vivid Folk Memory of actual events , as it appears in many cultures.
A convincing book I read suggested it was the flooding of the Black sea after the Ice Age ! Investigation shows that there were settlements round a Fresh Water lake, low down in the center of that area. With the melting of Ice, and the rise of seas, the Mediterranean broke through, catastrophically [near modern Istanbul] - forming the Black sea which is now Salt-Water.
This disaster occurred in the area close to the Noah Story, and the memory of it would be passed down over the Generations.
