It was the plan all along…
I had a conversation with a Palestinian friend of mine recently on this. He said that this is all about oil. A pipeline to be developed through Gaza to supply Europe with oil, and a natural gas field off the coast of Palestine to be developed. I’ve not had the chance to look into it.
I’m sure that’s a part of what’s going on, but to claim that “this is all about oil” is highly reductive. There are many different entities involved with competing interests.
Sure. I’m just repeating an unfounded rumor I heard from a friend.
Haven’t heard about the pipeline, but can confirm that there’s a shitload of natural gas off the coast of Gaza that Western companies want.
That makes no geographical sense.
Why would Israel need to go through Gaza to supply a gas line?
There was a plan to build a pipeline to Europe, with the EU funding it also going into Gaza to provide them with gas as well. Does your friend mean that? Because that’s like the complete opposite.
Because NIMBYism wouldn’t allow a pipeline to go through Israeli land?
Yeah I didn’t say I really understood it. I’m just repeating back what someone said to me.
I would point out however that access to resources has historically been a ‘plenty good’ reason for the western world to turn a blind eye to genocide in the past.
