The Egyptians have stopped delivering natural gas to Israel.

From the reports I am seeing, they have cancelled the contract and will not be resuming gas supplies to Israel.

This deal was under the auspices of the 1979 peace treaty. I don't like the sounds of this...

Consider the fact that Israel is the most republicanized government outside of the US. This will, hopefully, nudge the people of Israel to reject the Reagan/Bush/Netan-yahoo nexus and start transitioning the Israeli government toward including those who wish for Arabian and Palestinian recognition within the country. As I have stated in other threads before, Israel needs to be decertified as a country. Until then, consider this a boycott. We should be celebrating this action, not be worried by it.
