Is Gaza's Off Shore Oil the Real Root Cause for Israel's Genocidal Policy?

        The Answer is in FOLLOW THE PIPELINES by Charlotte Dennett

From the daughter of America’s first master spy in the Middle East, Charlotte Dennett offers a different perspective on the wars raging in Israel, Gaza, and Ukraine based on decades of research into the mysterious death of her father after his top secret mission to Saudi Arabia.

Daniel Dennett was the head of counter-intelligence for the Central Intelligence group (immediate forerunner of the CIA) when he traveled to Saudi Arabia in 1947 to determine the route of the Trans-Arabian pipeline and whether it would terminate in Lebanon or Haifa, Palestine. His plane crashed two weeks after he filed his last report. His daughter, Charlotte, was just six weeks old.

Charlotte has now produced an eye opening book, Follow the Pipelines: Uncovering the Mystery of a Lost Spy and the Deadly Politics of the Great Game for Oil . Relying on declassified documents at the National Archives – and after suing the CIA for additional information about her father (who now has a wing of the CIA named after him) -- she reveals that today’s wars in Gaza and Ukraine have been triggered by great power competition to control oil and natural gas.

Israel's former prime Minister Golda Meir once famously said in 1973

“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.” 

Now Israel has up to $500 billion worth of offshore oil and gas, much of it off the coast of Gaza. And Israel is determined to prevent Gazans from controlling and exploiting the Gaza Marine, which is rightfully theirs under international law. And it’s why real Jews and Christians don’t recognize Israel any longer.

Follow the Pipelines is a skillfully written, emotionally nuanced page turner that digs deep into the root cause for the Arab v Jew nightmare. It’s not based on a true story,,, it is a true story! Written with meticulous devotion to facts, it is one of those books that should be required reading for anyone who struggles to understand how and why these interminable wars persist. The answer to the riddle lies not in old-fashioned, malevolent religious differences to blame that Dennnett brilliantly lays bare, but stubborn greed as to who will ultimately control the vast oil resources that lie off the coast of Gaza.  As Dennett demonstrates, the vocabulary of reasons has changed through the years. those who have set peoples against each other in their divide and rule quest to control and profit from the most coveted resources in history: the oil that fuels the world’s militaries and the natural gas that fuels modern industries. Nevertheless, raw greed from unprincipled politicians skillfully use patriotic rhetoric to distract our attention who will be the beneficiary of these vast oil resources.

Israeli military hardliner (and Israel’s Defense Minister from 2013-2016) Moshe Ya’Alon stated before the first Israeli invasion of Gaza in 2009 “without an overall military operation to uproot Hamas’ control of Gaza, no drilling work can take place without the consent of the radical Islamic movement.”
