In the geographical area of Zevulun and adjoining Issachar Israel shall “SUCK the abundance of the seas and treasures HID in the sand” (Deuteronomy 33:18-19); in the adjacent area of Asher, shaped like a leg, Israel shall “dip (Asher’s) foot in oil” (of course, the word “neft” was unknown to the prophet, as was the existence or importance of petrol). The “shoes” on this “foot” of Asher shall be of “iron and brass,” which invokes a vision of drill towers in that area (see Deut. 33:24-25). Of adjacent Manasseh and Ephraim Jacob says in Bereshit [Genesis] 49:26, that the blessings of the patriarchs shall be “on the HEAD of Joseph” (i.e. the area of Ephraim), “and on the CROWN of the head of him that was separate from his brethren” (which is the area of Manasseh).

I.e., this geographical area of Israel is the prophetically indicated landmass and sea basin underneath which abundance of natural oil (certainly not olive oil!) will be found. Whether that is oil resident underneath our soil or sucked from our neighbors’ oilfields because of our lower position, I don’t know.

The mineral wealth of the Dead Sea (four times the wealth of the United States at the height of her prosperity) and the oil wealth underneath these mentioned areas make it well worth to invest more into research and development. The successful harvesting of our natural wealth would render us independent from foreign aid and consequently free us from much of American and European pressure. It would make Israel one of the wealthiest nations of the world. 

Such success would guarantee your re-election. It is well worth looking into it.

to A) The best strategy to win a game of chess is offense, forcing the opponent into the defense. You have struggled long enough to survive your contenders’ attacks. It is time to turn the tables on them, dear Prime Minister Netanyahu!

In the absence of a signed peace treaty (we have only a “process” and signed but unfulfilled “promises”) collaboration by (non-elected) Jewish leaders - whether of your party or the opposition - with Israel’s enemies, presumably in the interest of the Israeli people and in the name of peace, is inherently treason. Lobbying at a foreign government against the leadership of one’s own nation is traitorous by any definition. Even the opposition owes loyalty first of all to its own nation and to her integrity and self respect. 

If sexual misdemeanor justified law suits and a lengthy and very costly investigation against the chief executive of the world’s most powerful nation (President Kennedy and his brother Robert were both known for their extra-marital affairs, yet it was not thought to be a matter affecting national interest), how much more would the treasonous conduct of Israel’s Labor party leaders justify an investigation and legal actions!

Any Israeli citizen - or Jew of foreign nationality - who actively engages in lobbying against the democratically elected government of the sovereign State of Israel among foreign governments, thereby undermining the interest, welfare and security of our nation, is essentially engaged in a treasonous act which justifies legal action.

The behavior of Ehud Barak and his associates was damaging to Israel’s immutable rights as a sovereign nation, her integrity, and the power of your office and leverage in negotiations. Do you really think your verbal condemnation on August 2nd regarding the Labor party leaders’ conduct was sufficient for the ruling Prime Minister of Israel? Are you, or are you not, a man of power?! The people want to see LEADERSHIP, more than anything else! Clinton won a second term in office primarily because he showed leadership and the ability to make quick, definitive decisions, something his decent rival lacked. In the face of Barak’s attacks your smooth elaborations make you appear as a wimp, a failure, a sleek politician, but not as a LEADER! And the people crave a 
L E A D E R , Sir! They elected you to LEAD --- not to barely survive in office!

Ehud Barak is setting up gallows on which to “hang” you. Consider the wisdom of Queen Esther, how she entrapped Haman in his own plot. Her strategy is worth a careful study.

How does a mere mortal human being presume to disregard the OATH of the Almighty, to break the Covenant He swore by His own Name? Will He hold guiltless those who violate His oath?! The Labor party leaders have committed a serious traitorous act against the sovereign nation of Israel and her democratically elected government, and should be held accountable for it. 

Let me close with a reminder - once again - of Ben Gurion’s categorical claim in a speech at the Basel Zionist Congress, 1937:

“No Jew has the right to yield the rights of the Jewish people in Israel.
“No Jew has the authority to do so.
“No Jewish body has the authority to do so.
“Not even the entire Jewish people alive today has the authority to yield any part of Israel.
“It is the right of the Jewish people over generations, a right which under no condition be canceled.
“Even if Jews in a specific period proclaim they are relinquishing this right, they have neither the power nor the authority to deny this right to future generations. No concession of this type is binding or obligates the Jewish people.
“Our right to the country - to the entire country - exists as an eternal right, and until the full and complete redemption is realized, we shall not yield our ‘historic’ right.”

Dear Prime Minister Netanyahu, “it is better to trust in the L-RD than to put confidence in man; it is better to trust in the L-RD than to put confidence in princes” (Ps 118:8-9). For “cursed is the ’gever’ that trusts in ‘Adam’ and leans on the arm of flesh” (Jeremiah 17:5). “The best-equipped armed forces cannot save a king, for great strength is not enough to save anyone. A war horse (today, modern tanks) is a vain thing to secure safety; though powerful they (the tanks) cannot save.... it is the L-RD Who is our Help and our Shield” (Ps 33:16-17, 20). Amen.

Respectfully,
