Israel, Jordan ink 'historic' water pact

Israel and Jordan on Thursday signed a landmark agreement designed to provide the drought-plagued Jordanians with drinking water and to slow the decay of the Dead Sea.

Under the terms of the pact, a pipeline will be laid between the Red Sea and the Dead Sea and a desalination plant will be built in the Jordanian port town of Aqaba.

The agreement envisions the annual pumping of 200 million cubic meters of water from the Red Sea: 80 million will be desalinated at the Aqaba plant and Israel will get 30-50 million of that amount for use in its southern port town of Eilat and the Arava region – both desert areas with a chronic water shortage. The Jordanians will get 30 million cubes for their needs in the arid southern part of their country and an additional 50 million cubes of water for the central and northern parts of their country.

The landmark agreement was signed by Silvan Shalom, who holds the ministerial portfolios for energy and water, regional development and development of the Negev and Galilee, and Jordan's Water and Irrigation Minister Hazem Al Nasser in the presence of US envoys to the two countries.

We know that Israel controls water and electricity in the Occupied Territories. Gaza is basically an open air prison while the West Bank is increasingly fragmented by Israeli land theft.

Desalinization may be too expensive as a total solution, but can it fit, along with conservation measures, in a mix of solutions?

And nothing slanderous about it, Dave. if you celebrate what you see as "failures" of BDS, that places you in clear support of what BDS is intending to end; the occupation of Palestine.

Now, maybe if Mosby had left it at a feel-good story about cooperation between Israel and Jordan...? But no, can't go without that triumphant little fist-pump, "fuck yeah the Palestinians are still getting screwed! "

And if you celebrate "failures" of BDS, you are expressing your position as a supporter of the occupation. because BDS' goal is the end of that occupation through economic pressure.

Also, what now, you think support for the occupation is embarrassing? slanderous? Since when? Are you going to tell me that you and Mosby (for starters) are against the occupation? I'd be overjoyed if so! can you show me some examples?

But that is, in fact, the goal of BDS. To end the occupation of Palestine through economic pressure on Israel through use of boycotts, sanctions, and divestment.

Which of course you know. That's why you bring it up with every bit of economic news from Israel that you find. You know, such as your favorite, that app that makes fun of Miley Cyrus' butt or whatever it was.

so, Dave. I didn't catch yoru answer about whether or not you support the occupation. remember that indifference does count as support.

Amazing what comes up , example :

http://www.richardsilverstein.com/2008/09/27/paul-katz-and-the-pathology-of-jewish-extremism/

We may wish we didn’t have to understand what lies within the brain of a settler extremist who would attempt to assassinate Zeev Sternhell, but we do. It is a sad testimony to the current state of affairs, but the Paul Katzes of the Jewish world hold far too much sway in setting the tone and tenor of debate.

and generally speaking when someone abandons the company of people with extremist beliefs I don't think that you should keep dredging up that past and throwing it in their face. However I did challenge him on it once and he never responded (although you did):-


That particular poster is the proprietor of a website that, until recently, had compared just about every person who frequents this forum to the Nazis. To wit, I recall that one regular poster here was described as a "sick bigoted piece of Nazi filth".

I would have linked to that comment, but the relevant forums on said website seem to have been deleted. I wonder why.

I am stunned he could make that complaint with a straight face, to be honest. Your own hypocrisy has been duly noted by me on many an occasion, but that particular poster seems to take the cake in that regard. If anyone finds his arguments the least bit convincing, then frankly I despair for the human race

Your link proves nothing , in fact the slanderous accusations there about Aegeas are made worse by this attempt at posting some other website and trying to infer it's someone else.

As I said there was a vicious homophobic poster on a website with an identical name to yours but I will not slander your name like your attempting to do with another DU member as nothing can be verified.

It's shameful and your posts deserve to be hidden and reviewed .

I'd say that's pretty slanderous provide proof or apologize

Star Member King_David (11,160 posts)
44. I don't believe I ever saw that site

Maybe?

Was that the site a poster called ( if I recall correctly)
Azun-Noose was banned from for the worst kind of extreme Gay hating homophobia?

I can't say for sure , I can't find the site.

And I don't want to slander any fellow DU members.

Anyone can register on any website with any name they choose- there's no copyright across different sites and forums- and that's the whole point.

I never said its you , quite the opposite, why should I apologize for something I never did?

8. the desalination plant is in Jordan not Israel meaning it is Jordan who will be selling Israel water
Fri Feb 27, 2015, 06:18 PM

rather than the reverse, the Dead Sea is mentioned but why on Earth would Jordan want to even attempt to desalinate that when it has free access to the Red Seam where the salinity of the water is lower

I would guess it's to better facilitate water transport to Northern / Central Jordan?

if only there was a big freshwater lake somewhere in the region.

23. well access to the big fresh water lake is rather restricted and the Palestinians will benefit too

The Palestinians who have long complained about Israeli restrictions on constructing new water infrastructure and what they say is illegal pumping from their underground aquifers in the West Bank will also get water from the plant, Nasser said.

In addition to producing desalinated water it is part a a regional attempt to stop the Dead Sea from shrinking by pumping water into it.

desalinated and also comment on why the Dead Sea was involved. There was nothing i said about who is paying who or who has access.
But your response inpost 16 was on payment and access which confused me.

33. If you look at maps of the Dead Sea over the years it shows how drastically it has been shrinking.
Sun Mar 1, 2015, 07:31 PM
Mar 2015

Its shrinkage has accelerated over the years.
I have read it is due to the decline in the amount of water the Jordan river empties into the Dead Sea due to its diversion for consumption. Pumping the brine from the desalination plant into the Dead Sea gets rid of 2 problems. What to do with the waste and stopping the shrinkage.

There has been work on regional cooperation to develop a plan to reverse this shrinkage and on other water issues. Both Jordan and Israel realize its in both thier interests to cooperate to avert problems and potential disasters that will occur if nothing is done. They both realize it will take regional cooperation to solve such problems.

55. Jordan has access to the dead sea as well
Tue Mar 3, 2015, 06:40 AM

In fact it seems that the pumping idea was Jordan's in the first place and that they have been at it for quite some time:-

In May 2009 at the World Economic Forum, Jordan announced its plans to construct the "Jordan National Red Sea Development Project" (JRSP). This is a plan to convey seawater from the Red Sea near Aqaba to the Dead Sea. Water would be desalinated along the route to provide fresh water to Jordan, with the brine discharge sent to the Dead Sea for replenishment. The early planning called for developer and financier selection to be completed by year's end, with detailed design to begin in early 2010, and water delivery by 2017. Israel expressed its support and will likely benefit from some of the water delivery to its Negev region.

57. Of course they have access, that is one reason a regiomal plan was needed.

Jordan and Israel also have cooperative mineral mining operations going on as well.

Discussions on plans to halt the Dead Sea shrinkage have been going on for years. As Az said the World Bank as well as other NGO's have been involved too.
