As a commenter suggested, it's worth going back to this piece written in November by Jessica Wildfire. I'm pretty sure I posted about it then, but just in case, here it is again...
Let's start with a couple of chilling facts. The war in Gaza has nothing to do with democracy or human rights. It also has nothing to do with Israel's right to defend itself.
It's about oil and gas.
We should know by now that when both political parties in the U.S. show bipartisan support, something truly sinister is going on. We should also know that when a superpower starts using human rights as a justification for their actions, there's always an ulterior motive.
The U.S. is now proposing an international coalition of western governments to preside over Gaza once Israel pushes its two million inhabitants into Egypt. There are similar plans underway for the West Bank. Since the war started, Israel has already awarded a dozen gas exploration licenses to six different oil companies, including BP. They're going to explore exactly where those Palestinian oil reserves are located, off the coast.
They've been planning this project for decades, and now they have a great moral cover story. All of this looks like a repeat of the Iraq invasion, with western countries antagonizing a rogue actor until they do something that seems to warrant an extreme response.
@breadandcircuses Yet another war for oil.
Time to shut the demand for oil off.
We know how to do that. Now we just need to break the chokehold that the energy companies have on us.
@breadandcircuses
Gas & oi...all the bought and paid for politicians, their lobbyists, the big energy producers, the climate denial networks and think-tanks, and endless slaughter of resource wars...it all boils down to the main financial concern of the powerful, which is controlling the resource of oil & gas.
