This is a war of conquest. Discovered in 2000, there are extensive gas reserves off the Gaza coastline. British Gas (BG Group) and its partner, the Athens based Consolidated Contractors International Company (CCC) owned by Lebanon’s Sabbagh and Koury families, were granted oil and gas exploration rights in awith the 25 year agreement signed in November 1999 Palestinian Authority. The rights to the offshore gas field are respectively British Gas (60 percent); Consolidated Contractors (CCC) (30 percent); and the Investment Fund of the Palestinian Authority (10 percent). (Haaretz, October 21, 2007). The PA-BG-CCC agreement includes field development and the construction of a gas pipeline.(Middle East Economic Digest, Jan 5, 2001). The BG licence covers the entire Gazan offshore marine area, which is contiguous to several Israeli offshore gas facilities. (See Map below). It should be noted that 60 percent of the gas reserves along the Gaza-Israel coastline belong to Palestine. Probably just coincidence that the 25 year old agreement is nearly up. You know what else they’ve got in Gaza? A f*** ton of sunshine. It’s 202-f******-3, why do we still care about oil reserves like the Beverly hill billies?! Why are we still fighting over it?! uttoxram75 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not like this is a weird, illuminati conspiracy theory at this point. It’s just a known fact. Rich people get richer through war. Its f****** sick that the powerful play games with the lives of ordinary people just trying to live their lives. For what? Ultimately it’s just for money. If Putin was genuinely doing it for the good of his people, then maybe that’s what being a good leader is, or netinyahu, or trump, or whoever the head of hamas is, or any of those dick heads. But they’re not. None of them gives a s*** about what happens to ordinary people. little men playing at being gods. But they’re just little men that everyone hates and the world would be considerably better off without them. I have a bee in my bonnet. I should probably lie down. Unfortunately, until more of us realise what the root causes of war are they will keep getting away with it. TigerTedd and ramit 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Religion isn't necessarily the root cause, but it's a hugely convenient thing to use to justify wars - most religions are all or nothing and demand that anyone who doesn't worship the same sky pixie should be treated with utter contempt - it's then a small step for those craving power to persuade simple minds that they should to want to destroy the non-believers at any cost..... uttoxram75, ramit, Alph and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 (edited) Not the most popular man worldwide but it does seem that some people have human rights while others are collateral damage. Some borders we respect and others are blurred lines. The Arab world has had enough it seems. Russia/Ukraine has highlighted the hypocrisy and exposed the Imperialists. It would be nice to see Britain and the EU to stop pushing US propaganda and policies. Edited October 31, 2023 by Alpha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Posted October 31, 2023 Author Share Posted October 31, 2023 Keir Stamer bundled into a car, protected from protestors. He does believe that some people need protection then? Finally coming 'round to the idea. Not seen whether Sunak will get the same treatment. He's busy right now running Biden his bath.

Nobody will ask for evidence. We've seen Israeli "evidence" many times. We see less of the evidence that contradicts the "evidence" though. Like when the media went after the New York Times for accusing Israel of bombing a hospital. But it suddenly went quiet when NYT spent time collecting all the footage and asked why the hospital was struck 30 seconds after the Israel "proof". No further discussion. Old news. Move on to the Rafah border crossing news that suits the narrative "Hamas commander dead" So.... Are you purposely funneling Palestinians into traps knowing that Hamas will try to escape among them? Or did you somehow gather intel from the camp and decide the human cost of a Hamas commander? If 1 Hamas commander is worth 50 Palestinian families in a refugee camp then are 1,400 Jews worth exposing the entire West as hypocrites who support Apartheid war criminal governments and draw attention to the plight of Palestinians? This "collateral damage" term only works one way though. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think anybody will be held accountable or anything might change? Obviously I'm not Muslim/Arab but I know within Muslim community there will be long lasting effects/division with how The West has behaved here. The hypocrisy with Ukraine Russia has made many feel that they now know where they stand. Previous wars taken into account This conflict has been a passion of mine for some years (I spent some time working with a Palestinian) and for years it's been hushed and backbenched. The total injustice and hypocrisy is not new at all. Hearing these hypocrites and their selective story telling has just made any pro Palestinian so angry even before now. To have it done so blatantly while the evidence is spilled out all over the internet is enough to drive people to support Iranian funded terrorism. Because they're no more evil than the evil they fight. I'm not even Arab or Muslim of course but I don't think you have to be. But I can only imagine how betrayed those communities will feel in the West. It's all very sad. I know that Palestinians will have to accept some situations they won't like even if they had a state. There's definitely got to be work by both sides to find peace. Iran use Palestinians as pawns. But this is just criminal. Sunak, Biden, Stamer, Netenyahu....

Especially calling MPs murderers already had two MPs killed in this country we don’t want anymore MPs being targeted. Sunak to Netenyahu who's committing war crimes “I'm proud to stand with you in Israel's darkest hour as your friend, we will stand with you in solidarity, we will stand with your people, and we want you to win.” Collective punishment seems fine when it's Palestinians or Russians. Whether it be American missiles fired from Israel or sanctions on Russian citizens. Guilty by association works fine then. But when it's our Government backing the occupier to defeat the occupied on the back of over 50 years of oppression we want them to be able to distance themselves from it? Despite them not calling for a ceasefire and only humanitarian pauses. An MP was sacked wasn't he for not supporting the stance. He wanted Palestinians to stop being killed. My "edit" as far as I remember was to add "previous wars taken into account" Because "Sir" Tony Blair and Co went into Iraq on false claims. You can pretend I'm encouraging violence on politicians if you want. If that's your main concern when over 8,000 innocent people are killed in occupied Palestine and isolated, blacked out Gaza. Settler violence is also on the rise. But hopefully nobody says anything mean to Sunak or Stamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
