Geologists and resources economists have confirmed that the occupied Palestinian territory (oPt) lies above sizeable reservoirs of oil and natural gas wealth, in Area C of the West Bank and the Mediterranean coast off the Gaza Strip, according to a recent UNCTAD study.

New discoveries of natural gas in the Levant Basin are in the range of 122 trillion cubic foot while recoverable oil is estimated at 1.7 billion barrels, according to the study, entitled “The Economic Cost of Occupation for the Palestinian People: The Unrealized Oil and Natural Gas Potential.”

Poster Comment:

Israel is stealing that oil and natural gas from Gaza, the West Bank and from Lebanon.

I am beyond pissed that my country is engaged in the removal of the people of a country, so that one country on earth can be exclusively Jewish. My thoughts are, if that country can have a nation that has protected borders, and can keep the people they don’t want in there out, then why can’t the rest of the world have those same kind of respected borders?

There is a mental illness in this country that permeates every last layer of it, and no amount of talking ourselves through it is going to help stop this kind of shit from happening.
