Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

It's no fecking use two miles under the ground. Whose resources, manpower, business acumen, investment and technology created the viability of oil extraction in Iraq ? If it was solely up to the camel drivers, it'd still be two miles down.

I'll bet you use the same excuse for us nicking Scottish North Sea oil sinkov. Israel are nicking Gaza's oil, it's nick, nick and nick. Next up Venezuelan oil then onto Colombia.

Israel are nicking Gaza’s oil? Hardly, Gaza does not have any currently developed or commercially viable oil reserves. But maybe Hamas were providing all those well-stocked tunnels for their intrepid engineers digging down to develop those oil reserves for the benefit of the people of Gaza. They are dancing in the streets of Caracas tonight! because Maduro is gone while lefties are out protesting on the streets of the USA and UK that Trump has removed him from his fortified stronghold. What next a Corbyn/Sultana/Davey/Polanski petition to save the Mullahs of Tehran?

The Palestinians have a small, undeveloped offshore gas field called Gaza Marine, which has significant potential but faces numerous political and legal challenges from Netanyahu and Trump.

Gas. Yes it has gas. But when you are run by an organisation whose top priority (to borrow a phrase from our own highly esteemed Dear Leader and yes they were chanting his name at the Darts again) is the total destruction of Israel and the extermination of Jews then that gas will NEVER be put towards raising the population of Gaza out of its collective misery. Trying to establish a Palestinian homeland is something quite, quite different imo and has proved difficult because as Balan has pointed out although Palestine is a region it has never been a sovereign state and presently does not meet the four conditions for statehood in international law. Many people (myself included) would favour a two state solution but this has been made all but impossible by events on the ground. Just where matters go from here is anyone?s guess.
