Jordanian anti-Zionists in last ditch effort to scuttle Israel gas deal

Ammon News reports that  opponents of the imminent deal where Israeli companies will sell natural gas to Jordan are engaging in a last-ditch effort to scuttle the deal.

The deal is worth $10 billion over 15 years.

The "Jordanian national campaign to drop the gas agreement with the Zionist entity" called for a vigil to be held at 6 PM on Thursday.

It issued a statement that there is only five weeks left before fuel starts to reach Jordan, saying that Israel can then threaten Jordan's energy supply any time it wants over the next 15 years.

Israel is not involved in the deal. Electronic Intifada tried to paper that little fact over by saying that the Israeli companies pay taxes to Israel and therefore the Jordanian money will indirectly go towards killing Palestinians or something like that.

The real lesson is that when Israel is an economic power, especially an energy power, it is difficult for its Arab neighbors to boycott it. In the end, every country acts in its own self-interest, and partnering with Israel is often in every country's self interest.

Israel's strong economy is a large contributor to Israel's security. This is something that Netanyahu grasped when he began his terms as prime minister and it will be a lasting legacy to him.
