For decades, Israel has been searching for oil in its own lands, with the hope of gaining energy independence.
Recent reports from Genie, a US oil-exploration company, suggest oil has been found in Israel. Lots of it.
Cautionary statements from experts have followed: there is a difference between oil in the ground and oil that can be brought to the surface cost-effectively.
And as long as OPEC oil-exporting nations are setting a very low price per barrel, bringing Israeli oil to the surface would be more difficult, financially speaking.
The oil is actually in the Golan Heights, which was taken by Israel, from Syria, in the 1967 war. The ownership of the area is still contested. (Haaretz: “Genie Confirms Report of Possible Big Golan Oil Find,” Oct 11, 2015)
However, given the current war in Syria and the massive chaos there, Syria would certainly be less likely to challenge Israel’s oil claim with meaningful force. Is the Syrian-war escalation in part an effort to pave the way for Israeli oil?
If the initial celebratory announcements about how much oil is under the ground, in Golan, are correct, Israel could be looking at a long-sought, massive upswing in its domestic energy capability.
That’s not all. Genie, the US company that is doing the drilling-exploration in Golan, has some very interesting characters on its strategic advisory board—men who can exert influence on all sorts of geo-political operations.
For example, Rupert Murdoch; and Jacob Rothschild, the chairman of the Rothschild Foundation and the J Rothschild group of companies.
For example, ex-CIA director James Woolsey.
And Dick Cheney.
And Lawrence Summers, former president of Harvard University, former Secretary of the Treasury under Bill Clinton, director of the National Economic Council under Obama. (Will we see the involvement of the Harvard Endowment Fund in this Israeli oil operation?)
And Bill Richardson, former Secretary of Energy under Bill Clinton.
Who would obtain a license to bring up all this oil? Afek Israel Oil and Gas, which is a subsidiary of Genie, for whom the above-mentioned men serve as advisors. In fact, we have this from Genie’s website:
“Afek is characterizing a potentially significant oil and gas resource in Northern Israel pursuant to an exclusive, 3 year petroleum exploration license issued by the government of Israel.”
Mint Press News reports, in “Israel Takes Advantage Of Syrian Civil War To Expand Illegal Golan Heights Settlements,” Oct 13, 2015:
“Israel is taking advantage of the chaos in Syria to expand its illegal settlements in the Golan Heights, just as new oil reserves were discovered in the contested region… Now, Israel hopes to quintuple the size of its settlements over the next five years by adding an additional 100,000 settlers to the region. The plan was proposed by Naftali Bennett, a senior Israeli minister and member of the right-wing Jewish Home party, and, according to a report from The New York Times last week, Bennett is just one of ‘many Israeli leaders and thinkers seizing on the chaos in Syria to solidify Israel’s hold on the Golan.’”

So do you want to turn over American land back to the native Americans that had their land taken away from them and then placed in concentration camps, excuse me, reservations.
Without a doubt ~
Another portion of antisemitic crap !
I was there literally a week ago the the border is exactly where it always was!
You are a lie and hate spreading asshole! Who pays you?!
Fuc/ Israel.
Like they did in Iraq! Sure they are!
Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised
Don’t spread more hate upon the situation. There’s enough of that in the Middle East. We aren’t involved and we shouldn’t hate Jews or Israel nor should we hate Palestinians.
I agree with yo Lo but a time will come when you will have enough if your home garden was occupied by people you don’t know and these people eventually stop you from leaving your house, stop your kids from playing in the parks, put restrictions on you where you can travel etc….
Yes your thinking now.
This has been going on for over 50 years now
Let’s just pray and hope for
peace …. ?
It’s true but we shouldn’t hate cultures or people. Let them have the direct hate it shouldn’t be brewed up worldwide, is my point.
Wake up and smell the coffee this is the real world not some Disney movie zionist are not jews so dont make out to be something against jews a land is occupied by zionists that hide behind jewish faith to gain what they want it’s simple and its that not that complicated the occupied lands of Palestine should go back to the Palestinians and everything will just fine.
Hear hear absolutely
As long as Israel exists there will never be peace
Those people are not true Israeli
