Ive just been reading a book on the political economy of oil. It doesnt really matter which, for there are lots but, tellingly, they make no mention of Israel at all, except in passim. On the other side of the shelf, I have a book on Israel; again, lots, but equally, they make almost no mention of the oil supply.
Odd isnt it, for a region so steeped in the stuff; odd too, that Israel seems to have no ostensible oil fields ? Can that really be, or has some outside factor prevented them from developing reserves ?
We need to look at the ongoing nightmare in the context of oil; we need to synthesise the two critiques if possible. as I said, I cant give any answers apart from a few sketchy deductions, but I cant imagine the USA gives so much money to Israel for sincere belief in 'zionism'.
