	Geography of Water Resources
		The Sea of Galilee is the principal aboveground storage reservoir in the basin with a surface area of 170 square kilometers and a volume of approximately 4000 MCM.
		Syria is constantly constructing storage reservoirs on the Yarmouk, which directly reduce the discharge of the river remaining for Jordan and Israel (the natural flow of the river is reduced from around 450 MCM to 270 before it reaches the Jordanians and Israelis).
		Israel supplies Palestinians with 63 percent of the total water consumed in the West Bank via Mekerot pipelines.

	Geography : His Land - Israel My Beloved
		The restored people of Israel have spent the last 125 years draining the swamps, pushing back the wilderness, planting and nurturing hundreds of new forests.
		These "mountains of Israel" as the Bible calls them, stand as a fortress wall keeping the country's enemies away from the coastal plain, where upwards of 80 percent of Israel's citizens live today.
		Further north, Lebanon's southern hills to the west and the Golan heights to the east form a cap around the top of the Galilee, with the Golan one of Israel's main water catchment areas, channeling the life-bringing liquid down to the Sea of Galilee.

	WILL A RETREAT FROM GEOGRAPHY SECURE ISRAEL's DEMOGRAPHY? - FREEMAN CENTER BLOG
		The willingness of Israel's Center and Right to consider a retreat from Geography (Gaza, Judea & Samaria), in order to secure Demography (Jewish majority), has been based on the fatalistic assumption that the Jewish population is destined to become a minority between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean.
		In 2006 the prophets of demographic doom still underestimate Jewish fertility in Israel (2.7 children per woman and creeping upward), overestimate Arab fertility (4 children within the Green Line and declining), dismiss the potential of Aliya and disregard the scope of Palestinian emigration.
		There is no demographic sword over the throat of Israel's Jews, and policy makers who are haunted by demographic fatalism base their policies on wrong and unrealistic assumptions.

		Israel's capital city of Jerusalem would be nearly encased within Palestinian territory and jeopardizing its ability to survive an attack.
		In effect, Israel would be reduced to a defenseless nation 9 to 25 miles wide at areas separating Israel Proper from that enemies on her eastern flank!

		The Department of Geography, the first of its kind in Israel started its activities in 1949, when the Hebrew University re-opened its doors after the War of Independence.
		Therefore, Geography like many other departments changes its location in town about a dozen times, until it moved to its own building on the Giv`at Ram campus.
		In 1972 the sections of the department dealing with aspects of social sciences and humanities moved to Mount Scopus.They were joined in 1996/97 by Physical Geography, thus re-uniting the department.

	Will a Retreat from Geography Secure Israel’s Demography?
		The willingness of Israel’s Center and Right to consider a retreat from Geography (Gaza, Judea and Samaria), in order to secure Demography (Jewish majority), has been based on the fatalistic assumption that the Jewish population is destined to become a minority between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean.
		For example, the rise of the price of oil during the 1970s and Israel’s war on Palestinian terrorism have escalated Palestinian emigration away from Gaza, (and especially) Judea and Samaria, while Iraq’s invasion of Kuwait produced a net positive Palestinian migration.
		If the prophets of doom would have relied on data produced by Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (2.1 million Arabs in Judea and Samaria in 1997), they would not have been able — mathematically — to arrive at their proclaimed figures of 3.4 million or 3.8 million in 2004.

	Akhlah: Israel Geography
		Israel is located in the Middle East, along the eastern coastline of the Mediterranean Sea, bordered by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt.
		The scarcity of water in the region has generated intense efforts to maximize use of the available supply and to seek new resources.
		In the 1960s, Israel's freshwater sources were joined in an integrated grid whose main artery, the National Water Carrier, brings water from the north and center to the semi-arid south.

	History & Geography of Israel & Palestine. Also... Zionism, Refugees, PLO, Terrorism, Arab-Israeli Conflict
		Israel has set the stage, not for peace, but for an all out war the likes of which she has never dreamed of in her worst nightmares!
		Israel should stop speaking about "peace" and delete the word "peace" from its vocabulary together with such phrases as "the price of peace" or "territory for peace." For a hundred years the Jews have been begging the Arabs to sell them peace, ready to pay any price.
		After the 1967 Arab-Israeli war, their goal became two-tracked: Either (1) destroy Israel outright (the same pre-1967 goal) or (2) the creation of an Arab-Palestinian state to be used as a launching pad from which to destroy Israel.
