RED-DEAD project failed

With typical phantasioner overoptimism, Shimon Peres envisioned numerous infrastructure projects that would wave a network of common - unbreakable - interests between Israel and the neighboring countries. The Sinai gas pipeline, that would solve Egypt's energy scarcity and promote its industrialization. The pipe was laid down and worked for a while, till  ISIS sabotaged it. Cairo has no effective forces in the Sinai nor in the rest of its vast territory. On the map, Egypt extends over a million sq.km, but it has no power out of Cairo.

Having learnt this painful lesson, we made a re-appraisal of the Red Sea - Dead Sea pipeline hydroelectrical project. Does the King of Jordan exert effective rule along the 220 kilometer pipe? Israel has decided to retire from the project, and compensate the breaking of the contract with a large payment in currency and drinking water. A very costly fuckup.

We are following the American model of Nation-building for the benefit of our neighbors, but we have even less success than the Americans in Iraq and Afghanistan. We organized friendly political forces in South Lebanon, but they turned out deadly enemies. We tried to make Gaza a self-governed political entity so we could make peace with them. Absolute failure. The Palestinian State, another Israeli invention, is a comic opera. Thus, the potential of the 450 meter fall of the Dead Sea valley will continue unexploited, till the Moshiach comes.
