Saying that a state cannot pursue its aims because there's no money, is like saying that an engineer cannot build roads, because there are no kilometers.

[Thomas Fazi @battleforeurope]

Perhaps the most economically destructive aspect of any military occupation is the appropriation of the occupied people’s resources. And Israel’s occupation of Palestine is no exception. Over the years Israel hasn’t just confiscated (or rendered inaccessible to Palestinians) much of the West Bank and Gaza’s cultivable land and water supplies — but also its vast oil and gas resources, most of which lie off the coast of Gaza.

In 1999, British Gas Group (BGG) discovered a large gas field (Gaza Marine) at a distance of 17 to 21 nautical miles off the coast of Gaza. This placed it within the bounds of the Oslo II Accord, signed in 1995, which gave the Palestinian Authority (PA) maritime jurisdiction over its waters up to 20 nautical miles from the coast. Following the discovery of the gas field, the PA signed a 25-year contract for gas exploration with BGG, and, in 2000, the company drilled two wells in the field, which was estimated to contain 1.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas — more than enough to satisfy the Palestinian Territory’s energy needs, and generate significant export revenue flows.

It looked like, after much misfortune, the Palestinian people had finally struck gold. On 27 September 2000, after symbolically lighting the flame at the BGG offshore exploration platform, Yasser Arafat, then president of the PA, hailed the discovery as “a gift from God”, one which would “provide a solid foundation for our economy and for establishing an independent state”.

Since then, however, Israel has prevented the Palestinians from developing the energy field, resulting in accumulated losses to the Palestinians in the billions of dollars.

Il 10 ottobre di 99 anni fa nasceva #GiacintoAuriti.
Le sue teorie sulla moneta, hanno generato un "debito" di gratitudine in tutti noi.
Mi ha aperto la mente e fornito gli strumenti per esercitare un sano pensiero critico in economia.
Auguri al professore GIACINTO AURITI.
