| Where There's Smoke, There's Ire War igniting forest fires in northern Israel Like America's, Israel's forests and grasslands are suffering an unusual number of fires this season. But the problem isn't so much a heat wave as, um, rocket attacks. Since the mid-July start of the Israel-Lebanon conflict, an average of around 50 fires a day have ignited in the northern region of Israel. Though many are small and eventually burn themse ... |

Jessica McCallin |
05 Mar 2002 |
Main Dish |

The most obvious reason is that doing so would require a change in Israeli lifestyles: no more private swimming pools and green lawns. But the motives go deeper than that, according to Robin Twite, director of the Environment Program for the Jerusalem-base ... |

Main Dish |
| Oil, namely the vast reserves in Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, is the cause of many of the broad geopolitical battles plaguing the Middle East. But it is access to water, a more fundamental resource, that is at the root of much of the bitter conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians. Case in point: The Palestinians say they rejected a recent peace proposal from Israel be ... |
