The Red-Dead Seas Desalination Project

The fall of 450 meter between the Red Sea (and the Mediterranean Sea) spontaneously offers the possibility of a large hydro-electric project. During the last 150 years many designs have been published but nothing was done. Shimon Peres linked the generation of electricity with desalination and half-promised that Israel will build it and supply free drinking water to Amman. The "vision" was written into the Jordan-Israel peace accord, mediated by Clinton. The World Bank (aka USA) was to finance the project.

Now the King of Transjordan demands the water. The population of Transjordan has exploded from half a million in 1948 to more than twelve millions. Water is scarce as well as mismanaged. The current configuration of the project takes place entirely on Jordanian territory. What do they need us for? For completing the poker table? No. They are enviously watching as Israel has solved the water supply problem of the "territories", that being our legal obligation as so-called "occupying power", so they wonder, what about us? Are we not Palestinians? Why can't we enjoy the privileges of the "occupied"? Why, why, why?

What if Israel ignores the whole thing as it has been doing lately? We shall have a raving hysterical fit, we shall roll on the floor, we shall shame you in public! No peace! No peace!
