Sea of Galilee at lowest level in 5 years

Lake Kinneret, better known to most as the Sea of Galilee, has reached its lowest level in five years, Israel's Water Authority warned this week.

Three consecutive winters of below-average rainfall have resulted in the lake, Israel's primary source of drinking water, dropping to more than 12 feet below its previous "red line." If this winter is likewise accompanied by poor rainfall, it will be the worst four-year period for the lake since the early 1960s.

In response to the mounting drought situation, the Water Authority has launched a public relations campaign urging Israelis to practice greater water conservation at home.

In the long term, Israel plans to build three more desalination plants on its Mediterranean coast which, with the two plants already in operation, will eventually supply the bulk of Israel's drinking water.

Your right. He is talking in circles and won''t answer anything directly. He just wants to make accusations and call people names. That is all he can do anyway because he can''t admit that we are right.

It''s funny, that Ehud says, he can''t find your question on his, "Question???" comment. But, on his, "Question??" comment, he quotes it, but of course, he doesn''t answer it. He never answers any of my questions either. In fact, he goes to great lengths, to avoid answering my questions. And if, he''s not going answer any questions, and all he wants to do is argue, then, I have nothing else to say to him. But, even if he did answer them, I couldn''t believe, that he was being truthful anyway.

Apparently you are not going to answer my question. If you can''t find it look at the post labeled "To the muslim Ehud".

Just as I figured. You just want someone to yell at and accuse. You have nothing useful to say.

Forgot to click on the name line before typing name. Sorry
 
Ehud   1/7/2008 7:18 PM
11 .  Question???
I have NEVER said I wanted their land and you CANNOT show where I said I did. Also, I went to the bottom of the page and never found your "Question" You''ll have something smart to say instead.
Your words- "I don''''t really care if the Arabs have all the oil." Then QUIT BITCHING about it
 
  1/7/2008 7:16 PM
12 .  Question
Ehud said, "You sound envoius that the Arabs have oil and the barbaric jews have none. Maybe the idiots should have picked another place to squat."

If you think they are idiots for living there then why do you want their land? That is the question I asked you. I don''t really care if the Arabs have all the oil. God will provide all that is needed. Israel is doing very well with what God GAVE them. God gave the arabs oil, but they are not thankful for it, nor do they do any good with it. They do not improve humanity, nor do they improve their lives with it in any way except to build bombs and to force their people to live in squalor.

14 .  Your Question??
Your question is confusing to say the least "Why do they have to have the tiny nation of Israel as their own?"
You''ve never answered one of mine, why should I answer yours?????
You sound envoius that the Arabs have oil and the barbaric jews have none. Maybe the idiots should have picked another place to squat.
BTW, have you heard the parasites are trying hard to get Iraqs oil? You think gas is high now, just wait !!!!
 
Ehud   1/7/2008 12:31 AM
15 .  Question for Ehud
You didn''t answer my question. By the way, what you said is a lie. The whole goal of Islam is to conquer the infidel.
 
Lisa   1/6/2008 9:48 PM
16 .  More FACTS for you to complain about
This is only a fraction of the jew terror against the Arabs . It''s no wonder the Muslims want to retaliate. The Mossad has taken over where these barbaric jew terror groups left off.
A Muslim is forbiden aggerssion unless he is aggressed against first. The jews have certainly aggressed!!!!

Ehud   1/6/2008 6:29 PM
17 .  Amen Lisa!!
I agree 100%, it is a blessing to support Israel, and I pray, that our country will continue to do so. And I have often wondered, about that same question, about Israel being such a tiny country, and all that oil money, and land the Arabs have. It seems to me, that it would only be natural for the Arabs to want to help out their brothers, and give them some money and land. But no, they won''t do that, they want the Palestinians to take Israel''s land, because they want all the land. Their jealousy and hatred of the Jews, is so intense, and they won''t be satisfied, until they try to completely annihilate the Jews from the face of the earth. But, thank the Lord, we know, He will never let that happen. God bless you, and Israel.
 
Joyce W.   1/6/2008 8:31 AM
18 .  To the muslim Ehud
The Bible says that those who bless Israel will be blessed and those who curse Israel will be cursed. Since there is only one God and that being the God of the Bible, Jews, and Christians, I follow what He says to do. I bless Israel and I am blessed. I obey the Lord. Giving money to Israel is a blessing and I gladly support it. I''m glad my country supports Israel and I don''t care if you don''t like it. I have one question for you. If you look at a map of the middle east, arabs have all the land. Israel is a tiny little country that is surrounded by huge arab countries. Arabs have all the oil. They are tremendously wealthy. Why do they have to have the tiny nation of Israel as their own? If you think the palestinians should be given so much money why don''t the oil rich arabs give them more?

19 .  To Ehud
I support the Jews, and they are not terrorists! And btw, it''s not a news flash, that you don''t support the Jews. Believe me, you''ve made that quite clear. And you have the right, to feel the way you want, but just don''t pretend, to be something you''re not. Because you''re not fooling anyone, but yourself.

You argue and you lie. If you are so proud of the Palestinians, why do you not admit to being one? And btw, I am an American, with Creek Indian, and Scotch Irish heritage. But, as Ron R has said, we who are born again Christians, have been born into the Jewish family, which makes me very happy.
 
Joyce W.   1/5/2008 12:49 AM
24 .  To Lisa
Thanks Lisa, you are definitely right about the aid money financing weapons, for the terrorists to kill the Jews. The Palestinian people will never see any of that money. The only way to help them is as you said to do, " Give them food and medicine directly to the people who need it." And the Jews being the caring people, that they are, will help them. Even though, most of the Palestinians would like to see them eliminated. God bless you, and Israel.
 
Joyce W.   1/5/2008 12:23 AM
25 .  Ehud the Palestinians kill thier own in...
gun battles because they are of the religion of death and then cry to the world how Israel has killed thier innocents. IF AUTOPSIES WERE DONE MOST OF THE CIVILIAN CASUALTIES THEY WOULD FIND WOULD HAVE 7.62mm ROUNDS IN THEM, NOT THE 5.56mm ROUNDS THE JEWS USE!

26 .  Sea of Galilee - low water level.
Historically in the OT when God was angry with Israel, He withheld rain from the land. The people of Israel, Jewish Leaders and particularly Christians and Mesianic Jews need to seek the Lords face and ask what they are doing wrong and seriously address it - one suspects that dividing the land and particularly Jerusalem will be high on the list.
Come on people it''s high time we started taking God seriously and, at His word and claiming His promises.

You''re right. Gaza is a mess. When the terrorist jews left, they bulldozed everything of value and pretty much turned Gaza into an enclosed shooting range with a 16'' high concrete fence (built with US aid)where they practice killing Arabs with the weapons America gives them. Was it not in Gaza where a fearless jew killed innocent unarmed Rachel Corrie with a bulldozer? The jews use hi-powered rifles to kill innocent little stone throwing Palestanian kids.
I never called her a jew. With her mentality I assume she is tho.
 
Ehud   1/4/2008 8:42 PM
29 .  Ehud you are full of bitterness, jealousy, and hate..
and you need Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour! You need to repent ( be sorry for and stop sinning ) of your sins, and ask Jesus to save you. He will if you are sincere then and only then will your life finally have meaning and all those bad feelings you have inside will be washed away and you will have a healed soul with joy like you have never known. I WAS ONCE LIKE YOU ARE, I REPEAT I WAS ONCE LIKE YOU ARE!
YOU CAN HAVE IT IF YOU WANT TO, AND IF CHOOSE NOT TO IT IS BECAUSE GOD HAS NO PLACE IN YOUR LIFE EITHER. ONLY COWARDS AND FOOLS WILL GO TO HELL. THE BRAVE AND WISE WILL BE IN HEAVEN. WHICH ARE YOU?

AID! The truth is the powers to be keep those who need it from getting it so Israel is made to look the worse for it. Yet no one holds those who get the AID accountable for the distribution of it. Like one said here we should send food, medicine and clothing to them instead. Right now all our aid does is fund a lavish lifestyle for those in charge and thier cronies.
 
Ron R   1/4/2008 8:21 PM
32 .  Lisa you are a Jew, I am, Joyce and...
everyone who is a born again Christian. The Jews born a Jew of the flesh, are Jews "Twice" when they get saved. To Quote the Lord:
Romans 2:28-29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter whose praise is not of men, but of God.
We who have been saved have been circumsized in the heart (removing the excess flesh nature for that which is Spiritual!) and are Jews. God Bless Israel! God Bless The Jews!!
God Bless My Brothers And Sisters In Jesus Christ!!!
 
Ron R   1/4/2008 8:17 PM
33 .  Ehud....
You don''t get it because you don''t even know what you are talking about. For one thing, you call Joyce a jew which I am guessing is supposed to be an insult because I''m pretty sure she isn''t a jew. However, I would take it as a compliment since the Jews are God''s CHOSEN PEOPLE. I think you called me a jew once too of which I am not. Didn''t you claim to be a jew yourself? By your own definition you are what you accuse others of. Also, the Jews purchased swamp land in Israel from the arabs who were living there before Israel was declared a state. The land was a waste because the arabs made it that way. The Jews have made it what it is today. Notice how the palestinians have ruined Gaza? The reason they are in the poorest land is because they do nothing but destroy whatever they have.

34 .  Climate
I just have to make a comment regarding all the hype about climate change. The sahara dessert was once a tropical forest and the antarctic was also once tropical. Whether all those tremendous climate changes were a result of the flood or not I don''t know. What I do know is that the earth is still here and man and all the other creatures God made are too, with a few exceptions like dinosaurs etc. The Bible says that even creation is groaning and waiting to be delivered from corruption. Romans 8:22-23 I believe that we are seeing the earth itself in turmoil as the day draws nearer for Christ''s Return.

I don''t argue. I present the FACTS and you argue with lies and inuendo which is natural for a jew.
The Palestinians are a industrious people. The jews have pushed them onto the poorest land and often destroy what crops the Palestanians manage to grow on that.
DID YOU GET THAT?????
 
Ehud   1/4/2008 6:23 PM
36 .  Joyce!!
You go girl!!!!!

Unfortunately all the aid that does go to the pals is used to buy rockets and bombs for them to kill Jews with. Give them food and medicine directly to the people who need it, but don''t give a cent to those in political power because they use the money for killing. Israelis actually use their medical skills and technology to help people. They even give free medical care to needy palestinians who have nowhere else to go for help. If a Jew was needy and went to a most palestinians for help they would just get shot.

Obviously, you didn''t get it, because if you did, you still wouldn''t be arguing with me, about how much financial aid Israel has received, verses the Palestinians. My comment to you was never about that, but, since you keep bringing it up. I do want to say that I really don''t know, how much money the US, or anyone, has given to Israel, but however much it was, it is money well spent. Because as Charles said, "Israel is an industrious country and they contribute to society." They are unlike, the Palestinians who are a burden to society, because they do nothing to help themselves. And if I had my way, the US would not be supporting them with financial aid, it would all go to Israel.

Israel is an industrious country . They build power plants , pressurized water systems , irrigation systems and industry . They contribute to society . The Palestinians are parasites living on the economies of others . They are a self defeating people . But they have plenty of help from their brothers , to stir up trouble . Any money that they get will be used to keep trouble stirred up . Their own brothers treat them like roaches .

I haven''t said anything about Israel, not ever receiving financial aid. What I said is, that the Jews are hard working people who take care of themselves, and their families.

43 .  RE: God''s Will
I agree, we should not be surprised when people go against God''s Will, that He would withhold rain, or that He would punish in other ways. God is getting tired of the blatant disobedience. He has already shown His displeasure, with the US several times. And I''m afraid, the US is in for more of God''s punishment, with Bush''s unyielding determination, to divide Jerusalem. And it seems, Olmerts disobedience to God by giving into Bush''s demands, is bringing them God''s displeasure.

44 .  To Ehud
It''s very interesting, that you call Jews parasites, but yet you call yourself a Christian Jew. And you are so sympathetic to the Palestinians, with all their self-inflicted problems. Something does not add up here. It just does not compute. In the first place, your claim of Christianity in my opinion doesn''t hold water, by discerning from the fruits of your works, and also, from your ardent defense of the Quran. Your claim of being a Jew, makes no sense, because you make no secret of how you hate the Jews. You keep calling the Jews parasites, and that makes no sense either, they are very hard working people who take care of themselves, and their families. And they do not depend on financial aid, to do it for them, as the Palestinians do, and who probably will never receive any of it. And if they do, it would be very little, after Abbas divides it up with Hamas. So who''s the parasite here?
