🗞 New York Times Labels 1948 Nakba as ‘Migration’ – New Low for Western MSM?

The Nakba was not even close to a simple ‘migration’:

By the end of 1948, two-thirds of the Palestinian population were exiled – militias killing some 13k Palestinians.

530 Palestinian villages were destroyed, with around 750k Palestinians forced to flee as the state of Israel was declared.

IOF forces bulldozed the main entrance to the Tulkarm Refugee Camp in West Bank, rendering it unusable.

IOF forces destroy infrastructure in Jenin, north of the West Bank, completely razing some of the roads leading to the Jenin refugee camp in the city, today.

BLOCKING THE BOAT: There still are activists in Tacoma, Washington holding out on the waters of the docks to make sure a weapons shipments to Israel does not make it out of the dock.

GAZA MARINE GAS FIELD

Operator: British Gas.

"Gaza Marine gas field is located 30km off the coast of the Gaza Strip, in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. It lies at a water depth of 603m. The development of the Gaza field has been on hold for several years due to disputes between Israel and the Palestinians."

GAZA MARINE GAS FIELD

TONY BLAIR'S ROLE:

"The development is further complicated by confusion over leadership in Palestine. Israel, for a start, refuses to negotiate with Hamas, who currently occupy the Gaza Strip. Despite Hamas ruling the area, the Palestinian Authority [Abbas is a WEF member] – whose authority extends to the West Bank alone – along with "peace adviser" Tony Blair who initiated the talks, hope to have control of the marine area and levy its own fees and taxes."

Gas Finds in the Eastern Mediterranean

Gaza, Israel, and Other Conflicts

"This article looks at the gas discoveries in the eastern Mediterranean since the late 1990s and how they have fueled-or otherwise intersected with-the various regional conflicts. About half of the article examines the fate of the 1999 gas discoveries off Gaza (within the maritime space set for the Palestinians by Oslo), and Israel-s role in controlling the outcome."

GAZA MARINE GAS FIELD
"The Gaza Marine license covers the entire marine area offshore of Gaza. The license was granted by the Palestinian National Authority in 1999 to British Gas (BG) and CC Oil & Gas. BG was appointed as operator of the license area.
Using 3D seismic, the Gaza Marine prospect was identified in the offshore Levant Basin, in the eastern Mediterranean approximately 35 km offshore from Gaza. The Gaza Marine-1 (GM-1) exploration well was drilled in September 2000 at a water depth of 603 meters, 36 km west of Gaza City. This well discovered gas in commercial quantities and tested at tubing constrained rates of up to 37 mmscf/d. The discovery was appraised by the Gaza Marine-2 (GM-2) well, located approximately 5 km southwest of GM-1, at a water depth of 535 meters. Reserves were estimated in excess of 1 trillion cubic feet.
Following Shell’s acquisition of BG, CC Oil & Gas and the Palestinian Investment Fund acquired Shell's working interest in the asset, with each party now owning 50%."

THE GAZA MARINE GAS FIELD IS THE REAL REASON FOR THE BLOCKADE OF GAZA
"Israel tried to demand the natural gas be piped to a refinery located within their territory giving Israel control over all the revenues from the natural gas fields, revenues that belong to Palestinians. The Israelis openly state that they want to take the natural resources from Palestinians, control this natural resource and sell it back to Palestinians at high prices whilst selling the very same natural gas to Israelis at bottom of the barrel prices. Their justification for this was to ensure the proceeds from these natural gas reservoirs didn’t “fund terrorism.”
Ehud Olmert insisted that “no royalties are to be paid to Palestinians” instead Olmert suggested the Israelis would deliver the equivalent of these royalties from the natural gas fields in “goods and services.” The Hamas led government refused the offer and immediately the Israeli government issued an inhumane blockade on Gaza"

"The failed negotiations prompted the Prime Minister of Britain Tony Blair to get involved. Blair feared that the tense negotiations would derail the Gaza-Jericho Agreement also known as the Oslo Accords in which Israel made a deal with Palestinians that granted the Palestinian Authority full control over its territorial waters. Blair got the Palestinians to agree to send the proceeds from the natural gas reservoirs to the Federal Reserve Bank in New York City to be vetted and distributed this allegedly was to ensure that the money didn’t fall into the hands of a terrorist.In 2006 following the political takeover of the government by Hamas, the Prime Minister of Isreal at the time Ehud Olmert pulled out of all negotiations stating that the Hamas takeover was a “dealbreaker” even though all proceeds from the gas fields were still going to the Federal Reserve Bank to be vetted and distributed. Ehud Olmert insisted that “no royalties are to be paid to Palestinians” instead Olmert suggested the Israelis would deliver the equivalent of these royalties from the natural gas fields in “goods and services.” The Hamas led government refused the offer and immediately the Israeli government issued an inhumane blockade on Gaza that is still in effect today Israel’s Defense Minister Shaul Mofaz called it “economic warfare.”

Israeli Rogue Intentions Towards Gaza’s Gas Fields Behind the Official and Declared Causes of Invading Gaza’s Strip

RUSSIA'S ROLE:

"On 23 January 2014, in the meeting between Palestinian President Abbas and Russian President Putin, the possibility of entrusting the exploitation of the gas field in the waters of Gaza to the Russian Gazprom was discussed.
This was announced by the Itar-Tass agency, underlining that Russia and Palestine intended to strengthen cooperation in the energy sector. In this framework, in addition to the exploitation of the Gaza field, the exploitation of an oil field near the Palestinian city of Ramallah in the West Bank was envisaged. In the same area, the Russian company Technopromexport was ready to participate in the construction of a thermoelectric plant with a capacity of 200 MW."

https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2023/10/israeli-bad-intentions-on-gazas-gas-fields/#comments

"Through former Prime Minister Tony Blair, envoy of the “Quartet for the Middle East”, an agreement is prepared with Israel which deprives the Palestinians of three-quarters of future gas revenues, paying their share into an international account controlled by Washington and London.

But, soon after winning the elections in 2006, Hamas rejected the agreement, calling it a theft, and called for its renegotiation. In 2007, the current Isra eli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon warned that “gas cannot be extracted without a military operation that eradicates Hamas control in Gaza.” In 2008, Israel launched Operation Cast Lead against Gaza.

In September 2012 the Palestinian Authority announced that, despite opposition from Hamas, it had resumed gas negotiations with Israel. Two months later, the admission of Palestine to the UN as a “non-member observer state” strengthened the position of the Palestinian Authority in the negotiations.

However, Gaza Marine remained blocked, preventing the Palestinians from exploiting the natural wealth they have at their disposal.At this point the Palestinian Authority took another path. On 23 January 2014, in the meeting between Palestinian President Abbas and Russian President Putin, the possibility of entrusting the exploitation of the gas field in the waters of Gaza to the Russian Gazprom was discussed."
