Ever since Bill Clinton and Yasser Arafat established a separate Palestinian state in 1993, there has been major political conflict and killing.  Part of the problem stems from the fact that Palestinians occupy two different territories.  The Gaza strip on the Meditteranean flanking the sea and close to Egypt, and the West Bank near the Red Sea.  Over 3/4 of million Jews live in the West bank and the boundaries are skewed.  A new leadership started in 2017 whenIsmail Hainyeh became the new Hamas leader.  He wants to go back to pre 1967 borders. and drop idea to destroy Israel.

In the last 5 or 6 years, each day, millions of gallons of raw sewage pour into the Gaza Strip's Mediterranean beachfront, spewing out of a metal pipe, turning miles of once-scenic coastline into a stagnant dead zone.

The sewage has damaged Gaza's limited fresh water supplies, decimated fishing zones and, after years of neglect, is now floating northward and affecting Israel as well, where a nearby desalination plant was forced to shut down, apparently due to pollution.

"It's certain that Gaza Strip's beaches are completely polluted and unsuitable for swimming and entertainment" said Ahmed Yaqoubi of the Palestinian Water Authority.

Environmentalists & aid organizations say that if the problem isn't addressed, it could escalate conflict.

We also talk about the prophecy of Isaiah 2, the revelations of new Jerusalem kingdom.  We discuss Camp David Accords of 1978 with Begin, Carter and Sadat.  We discuss gas prices of 1973 and currently worldwide.
