Guess What? Lots Of Oil, Natural Gas In Gaza!

So the past three weeks the world has stood aghast at the slaughter in Gaza; mesmerized by the thought of what compels Israel to commit such atrocities? D'oh! same old story, blood for oil. Why I didn't suspect this right away bothers me. The confirmation lies below.

It would be fair to say that almost every place where innocent blood is being spilled, there is an oil resource or corridor at stake for Israel, the USA or Great Britain. Same plot, different location, different actors.

How much longer will we allow their horrid lies to continue about 'pre-emptive' self-defence and the spreading of democracy - their abominable BLOOD for OIL hegemonic atrocities? I sincerely hope you are as outraged as I am after reading the following articles. Here lies the simple truth when we stop spinning from media lies.

A Secret Behind Israel's Siege of Gaza: Palestinians Have Oil and Natural Gas Resources
"there is an abundance of oil reserves both on the strip and offshore" http://blogs.state.gov/index.php/entries/q_israeli_palestinian_peace/

"The Palestinians are, in aggregate, energy rich. For the past six years, the Palestinian Authority has been sitting on a major gas field that contains at least 1.4 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) of gas."
http://www.epalestine.com/PalestineEnergy.pdf

"Palestine was rewarded with an oil reserve 22 miles off of the coast of the Gaza Strip. The entire country was excited by this natural mineral that would hopefully provide them with the economic freedom and financial stability they desired. Unfortunately, the financial success did not come directly on the heels of their discovery"

1. Another war on terror?
You do have to ask whether this is a war on terror or a war for oil. Most of course will take the 5th at this point rather than answer.

2. British Gas, Israel to freeze Hamas out of $4b. gas deal

Here's an article from JP in 2007. You got to read the whole thing.

Of course it's in the business section.

4. Caught in the middle
The little folk are caught in the middle between the Israelis and the Hamas, both of whom are working for the elites who own oil companies and real estate?

Every war has been a resource war, and this is no different?

7. I read about water accessibility as well.
But what I think is going on is that the Palestinians in Gaza have long been slated to be the sacrifice that will inflame the entire Muslim world and create the scenario for all out war for the control of the entire middle east, including perhaps parts of Eurasia.

8. My level of rage on the war on Gaza reached critical mass a few days ago
I can no longer think and act rationally, so furious I am at what the US is allowing Israel to do to the brave and defenseless people of Gaza. This article adds a new level of indignation to what was already there.

9. like our Indians with gold or uranium deposits--''Sorry, you can't have your reservation unless it's
absolutely WORTHLESS. If it has anything the wealthy want, you've got to get out of the way.''

10. great post, though the info on the state.gov link is just a public comment
which detracts from credibility of other good links.
