6 Miles is too close to home
• Ruin Israel’s coastline
• Contaminate water sources
• Cause dangerous air pollution
• Poison marine life
This is a call for gas industry workers and Nobel Energy employees and former employees, who are familiar with the work on gas platforms and gas and condensate pipelines, and know how to tell first-hand information that can help us fight for the interests of all citizens of Israel, the sea, the beaches and the air.
We are all volunteers, but we need your help mainly for funding environmental reports and our legal battle.
Since 2010, 97% of deep-water oil and gas fields are developed using offshore FPSOs, above the fields. This is the case for Karish and Tanin, two Israeli gas fields located near the Leviathan field.
Israel’s Ministry of Energy praised the developers of Karish and Tanin for choosing an offshore FPSO and by that, minimizing the hazards to Israel's public health and environment. Yet Leviathan’s platform will be located only 6 miles from Israel's coastline.
The offshore processing plant, as currently planned, has potentially dire health and ecological consequences.
As protests grow, watchdog opens inquiry into government’s use of security argument to justify putting Leviathan processing facility only 10 km from shore, rather than out at sea
Homeland Guards ("Shomrey Habayit" in Hebrew) is an Israeli environmental protection organization with more than 200,000 supporters and thousands of volunteers (and growing daily!).
We are a non-profit organization, without any political agenda, funded entirely by donations.
"Look at My works, how beautiful and praiseworthy they are! And all that I have created, it was for you that I created it. Pay attention that you do not corrupt and destroy My world: if you corrupt it, there is no one to repair it after you."
– Kohelet Rabbah 7:13
