Partition and the unfortunate Zionization of Judaism
KABOBfest (Free subscription) | yesterday

Leslie J. Sacks writes an essay that suggests a special canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea will create an energy phenomenon (which includes nuclear energy) that will build a bridge of peace between Arab Muslims (Syria, Jordan and the Arab created Palestine refugees) and Israel. Sacks believes a shared goal of cheap energy and the creation of fresh water (among other things) will be a boon in
