Please, they say, forget the past. We didn’t really mean all those nasty comments against the Jewish State.
The joke used to be…why did the Almighty give the Jews a Land flowing with milk and honey? Why not gas and oil?
To the astonishment of nearly everyone over a period of some 2,000 years, turns out He did! Let there be gas, He said, and there was gas.
But not so fast. First, people had to believe that this Good Earth could deliver petroleum. There was no history of this for a Land thought to be fuel dry since Creation.
