THIS INFORMATION OFFERS A WHOLE NEW LOOK
AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN PALESTINE, ESPECIALLY GAZA!
THE ELITE AND CORPORATE INTERESTS
HAVE SLAUGHTERED PEOPLE OVER NATURAL ASSETS BEFORE.
PALESTINE HAS BEEN STRUGGLING FOR 60+ YEARS NOW,
JUST HOW MUCH OF THE STRUGGLE TODAY DUE TO
THE SAME CAUSE OF DECADES,
OR THE RELATIVELY NEW CAUSE
OF BLACK GOLD?
I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MATTER!

A rain of fire over Gaza
Everybody knows Israel does not possess any oil and gas.
Right?
Right.
Right?
Right.
As former Prime Minister of Israel Golda Meir stated:
“Let me tell you something that we Israelis have against Moses. He took us 40 years through the desert in order to bring us to the one spot in the Middle East that has no oil!" ~ Golda Meir
The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and the Israeli government are going to extreme lengths to prevent these Freedom Flotillas from getting directly to the Gaza shore.
Why?
Are the Israelis trying to hide something?
The political leaders in Gaza are using unyielding military discipline and truly have nothing left to lose; or do they?
As a result of this huge contrast,
the common people of Gaza die like flies
before a rigid, unflinching onslaught
of US supplied F16s, bunker buster missiles,
GBU-39 smart bombs,
Israeli main battle tanks and small arms fire.
Why the slaughter of ready and willing to die, dirt poor Palestinians?
Is THIS what all the fuss could possibly be about?
The thought is not so very far fetched, is it?
It appears the Freedom Flotilla sailing to Gaza would go through a thicket of off shore oil and gas rigs and wells. The wells are sucking an estimated minimum of US$6 Billion Dollars of Palestinian off shore Natural Gas through rigs set up for slant drilling.
If the fishermen have been kept ashore due to this oil development, as I have suggested in the past, could not the slaughter of peace activists on a humanitarian mission be an attempt to keep this development secret as well?
If this information was connected in the eyes of the world, there might be a slightly different understanding to the current struggles. And if this is so, learning who is involved in this fabulously large deposit could certainly alter international perceptions of what goes on in Gaza.
The drilling consultant on the hidden project is the former Noble Drilling Company of Ardmore, Oklahoma, USA, experts in “oil field management.”
They are also allegedly experts in illegal slant drilling techniques Noble pioneered in the early Oklahoma oil fields back in the day.
Slant drilling is the best way to steal your neighbors’ oil and gas.
So much so that the formerly oil and gas-poor Israel of Prime Minister Golda Meir is now floating the idea of Natural Gas exports to the European Union (EU) of presumably Palestinian Natural Gas.
Future Freedom Flotillas are said to specifically have escorts from the Turkish Navy. The Turkish Air Force version of the American F-16 Fighting Falcons were not mentioned. The Turkish Navy protection is symbolic and problematic without the Turkish F-16s. Will the Turkish government commit their 200 plus F-16s?
Small world, eh?
Greed and force of arms count.
Always have.
Always will.
Notes:
Google “Gaza Marine 1” and “Gaza Marine 2” for well specific information of the coast of Gaza.
I have written on this possibility of gas off the shores of Gaza as reason for the extreme force used against the fishermen of Gaza, the reason their allowed fishing zone has been shrunk year after year. I reported that Israel, Egypt, and Britain were involved in the exploration and exploitation of this off shore drilling.
In 1999 the British Gas Group (later BG Group) discovered significant deposits of natural gas under the water 10 to 15 nautical miles off the shore of Gaza. The deposits, named Gaza Marine 1 and 2, are estimated to contain up to 1.3 trillion cubic feet of natural gas or the energy equivalent of 150 million barrels of oil. They are currently valued at some 4 billion dollars.
On 11/8/99 Chairman Yasser Arafat signed an agreement giving BG Group 90 percent interest and 10 per cent to Consolidated Contractors Company, an Athens based Palestinian entity connected to the PLO.

A final allocation of the rights continues to be contested between BG Group, Israel, Egypt and the Palestinians in obscured ongoing negotiations.
The Israelis began their program of killing and harassing the Gazan fishermen only after the discovery of the natural gas deposits. It is a reasonable assumption that the two events are linked: That the Israelis are asserting control over this resource valued at over 4 billion dollars; And that they are intent on denying any benefit to the Palestinians regardless of who controls Gaza.

Religion has always been used as a cover up for the real motive. If someone wants to find out where the truth lies, one should where the money is. Your assumption is not only possible, but it is actually what is happening.
