On how "oil and gas inexplicably find their way to fund the Israeli occupation state’s genocidal war on Gaza. The profits enrich bankers in the City of London and British Petroleum shareholders. Everyone wins – except the Palestinians"
"Israel ranks sixth among importers of Azerbaijani oil"
"The occupation state is deeply embedded in the global energy trade, both as importer and exporter"
