So in doing a little reading about the current problems in the Middle East I have come to the conclusion that it's all about water. Access to water for farming, drinking and industrial applications is critical for the survival of any nation, especially one that happens to be located in a barren desert. Here's what I have been reading.
Initially I read this, http://www.newshounds.us/2006/08/07/you_cant...
Which lead me to this, http://web.macam.ac.il/%7Earnon/Int-ME/wa...
and then in turn I found this, http://www.mideastnews.com/WaterWars.htm
and then I read this, http://www.unu.edu/unupress/unupbooks...
and then I found what might be called a smoking gun of sorts, the Jordan river is drying up.

Seems pretty straight forward to me.
And this seals it.. Israel has bombed irragation channels and pumping stations. jeez...
