Israel: An Introduction

This comprehensive book provides a well-rounded introduction to Israel—a definitive account of the nation's past, its often controversial present, and much more. Edited by a leading historian of the Middle East, Israel is organized around six major themes: land and people, history, society, politics, economics, and culture. The book is a significant contribution to Israel publications, being one of the first books to ever fluidly consolidate and describe Israel as a modern State. Finally, Israel provides readers with a solid foundation of knowledge about the Jewish State and provides useful reference lists by topic for those inspired to read further.

Egypt Gas Pipeline to Israel Sabotaged Again: A Consequence of Egypt’s Revolution

July 5, 2011 - 4:22 am - by Barry Rubin

By Barry Rubin

For the third time since February, terrorists have blown up the gas pipeline from Egypt that provides 45 percent of Israel’s natural gas. As I predicted, this pipeline will never function normally again. This serious economic disruption is the first material cost to Israel of Egypt’s revolution. The Obama Administration’s help in bringing down a stable (yes, a dictatorial regime but prepare for much worse) has already damaged Israel’s economy and security. And this is not the end of the story by a long shot.

    By 2013 Israel should have its own natural gas available for use.

    The bigger question is if we have a significant quantity of oil too, as the latest estimates suggest. If we do, it’ll still take a decade to prepare the infrastructure to produce commercial quantities. It really can’t come a minute too soon.

    I must admit that this is one particular excellent insight. It surely gives a company the opportunity to get in on the ground floor and really take part in making a thing unique and tailored to their needs.
