From BlondSense: BIG NATURAL GAS FIND in LEVIATHAN AREA.."Perhaps after all, on the matter of energy, Moses deserves greater navigational credit"

(Here's a closer look from menasborders: Noble Energy's new find draws attention to eastern Mediterranean borders)

Did anybody hear about this? I completely missed this - Isn't this a huge deal?? I guess I've been too busy dealing with the aftermath of the ice dams in our gutters for the past few months.

Israelis have always lamented that Moses led the ancient Israelites to the one patch of land in the Middle East bereft of energy resources. It turns out the sea offered more promise. At the end of December, a huge natural gas discovery was confirmed in the Eastern Mediterranean inside Israel’s territorial waters. ......The Leviathan field, discovered by a consortium led by Houston-based Noble Energy, is the world’s largest offshore gas find in the past decade and vaults Israel into the ranks of the largest gas reserve holders in the world. (There are some indications that Leviathan might contain a world-scale oil deposit as well.)

Despite some drawbacks and more details to be worked out, there’s no mistaking the fact that the Leviathan find represents a landmark event in the history of the state of Israel. Perhaps after all, on the matter of energy, Moses deserves greater navigational credit.

oh Weekly WEAKLY STANDARD...

Let's check in at PRAVDA... Why is the Leviathan Deposit Referred to as "Israeli"?
