Talk:Red Sea–Dead Sea Water Conveyance

message: This quote in the article is an expression of opinion only. It is in my opinion POV:
 "Some of these characteristics, especially in the Dead Sea area, are unique on a global perspective, and therefore crucially important for conservation."
The logic here is unsound:
* A thing is unique.
* Therefore it is 'crucial' to preserve it.
The conclusion may be true in the case of the Dead Sea, but it certainly does not follow from the premise that it is unique. 
Everything is unique in its own way. We live in an ever changing world and it is literally (not figuratively) impossible to keep everything the same. If we are going to pick and chose what we fight to keep the same, who decides:
 (a) what we will preserve
 (b) what we will spend
 (c) What collateral damage we will accept
 (d) What other projects we defund (to pay for it)
An extra hundred thousand pink ribbons to raise awareness is swell, but not if that cost enough money to develop a cure instead. 
It is too much to go into here, but perhaps some reading this will realize that indiscriminate preserving of things 'as-is' is may well be harmful to the environment. 
Regardless of whether or not the conclusion is true I have no idea what the percentage is, but I know for a fact that some readers will read that original sentence and believe it is air tight logic and correct. 
It would take too much to unravel the bias in the article, so I left it unchanged. Perhaps some intrepid adventurer can at least fix that sentence? DeepNorth (talk) 15:24, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

message: I say this should be merged with Dead Sea Canal. At least explain the difference.
I would like to hear some good reasons not to merge. Revising both articles should be part of it, since neither article gives a reason not to.

replies: text: I renamed the Dead Sea Canal article to Mediterranean-Dead Sea Canal to make clear that the two articles each cover a different canal. Perhaps this article should be renamed Read Sea-Dead Sea Canal.--Mschiffler (talk) 19:49, 12 May 2011 (UTC)

message: The Palestinian Authority is no longer the official designation of the authority that represents the Palestinian people.  It has been renamed to the "State of Palestine" and this has been officially recognized by the United Nations.  From the wikipedia page titled "State of Palestine":
Palestine has instructed its diplomats to officially represent 'The State of Palestine', and no longer the 'Palestine National Authority.' On 17 December 2012, UN Chief of Protocol Yeocheol Yoon declared that 'the designation of "State of Palestine" shall be used by the Secretariat in all official United Nations documents', thus recognising the title 'State of Palestine' as the nation's official name.
As such all references to the Palestinian authority should now be replaced with "State of Palestine".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.227.171.119 (talk) 12:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

message: A number of cases provided in this section talk about the downsides of an actual canal, rather than the project in its current form, and its form for the past 3 years, which is a pipeline. Makeandtoss (talk) 14:04, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: I removed the sentence - it was unsupported by a source, and the rather irrelevant mention of the reactor (which, is located on a plateau some 450 above sea level - or some 850 meters above the -423m dead sea - and quite a bit away) - the sole source bringing the reactor up was a very fringey Golan heights activist organization.
