The Israeli High Court has thrown out the last objections from environmental groups and approved Afek Oil and Gas, a subsidiary of politically well-connected Genie Israel, to begin exploratory drilling in the Golan Heights.
Genie Israel is run by retired Israeli General Effi Eitam, who famously declared Palestinians “creatures who came our of the depths of darkness,” and predicted Israel would eventually have to kill them all. The company also has a “strategic advisory board” that includes Rupert Murdoch and other well connected international individuals, and formerly also included Dick Cheney.
The move to drill in Golan faced its biggest obstacle within Israel from the environmentalist movement, but a much bigger problem is that the Golan Heights are considered, per UN Security Council Resolution 242, Israeli-occupied territory that actually belongs to Syria.
Afek got around environmental complaints by arguing that they’re only drilling for exploration, not production, but is expected to move toward commercial production in a few years.
There never is a line (of racism, theft, or moral outrage) that these people won't cross. Everytime I think I should ease up on this criminal country, it proves me wrong.
All these people know how to do is to steal.
How many other U.S. politicians have investments in Israeli companies that may affect their votes and legislative tendencies? These Israeli firsters need to be exposed to the American public and voted out of office.
These Israelis are truly nutty. To drill for oil on the Golan is outright thievery. And they steal with the consent of the American govt. The Israelis will continue to violate any and all international laws, steal blatantly from the Palestinians, and do whatever they damn well please, including killing of American citizens, as long as the American congress continues as a cesspool of criminal and immoral behavior conducted without consequences.
Remember, too, that Rupert Murdoch owns the Wall Street Journal and FOX. He'll probably be backing Hillary Clinton in the next Presidential round as he did back in 2008. It's all a kibuki dance folks!
What right and credibility does the Zionist Israeli courts have over foreign land? Just like the US justification for torcher- the Israeli courts approved. What a joke. Time to put them in their boots.
