This oil is mine; God gave this oil to me. . .
By Ann Garrison
"God is not a real estate agent," Palestinian scholar Edward Said's responded to Zionists claiming scriptural proof, from the Old Testament, that God had given Palestine to them. Were he still among us,he might now respond, "God is not a commodities broker," because Zion Oil and Natural Gas now claims scriptural proof, Genesis 12:1-3, and 49:25, and, Deuteronomy 33:24, that God gave them all Palestine's oil and gas as well.
