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.
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.
It was the plan all along…

Sure. I’m just repeating an unfounded rumor I heard from a friend.

Because NIMBYism wouldn’t allow a pipeline to go through Israeli land?
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.
