Exposed: The Oil and Gas Giants Profiting Most From #Israel's #GazaGenocide

"The complicity of international #corporations and governments in fueling Israel's #WarMachine represents the latest chapter in a long history of #FossilFuel companies enabling #genocide and mass atrocities," said one campaigner.

"On the fourth day of the United Nations Climate Change Conference, or #COP29, in Azerbaijan, green groups highlighted how fossil fuel companies 'enable and profit from Israel's genocide in Gaza,' continuing 'a long history of the industry's complicity in mass atrocities worldwide.'

"'The fossil fuel industry is culpable in death and destruction around the world, not only through the #ClimateCrisis they cause but through the violence they fuel,' #OilChangeInternational said in a statement Thursday.

"'Every shipment of oil to Israel carries the weight of #Palestinian lives.'

"The group—along with others including #FriendsOfTheEarthPalestine / #PENGON and #TippingPointUK — is seizing the opportunity presented by COP29 to draw attention to an aspect of the Gaza war often overlooked amid the staggering death and destruction wrought by Israel's 13-month onslaught, which a United Nations panel on Thursday said is consistent with the 'characteristics of genocide.'

"'Investor-owned and private #OilCompanies supply 66% of oil to Israel—more than a third of that from major oil companies like #Chevron, #Shell, and #BP — despite genocide warnings from the International Court of Justice [#ICC],' #OilChange said. 'BP is among the top corporate suppliers of oil to Israel. It operates and is the largest owner of the #BTC pipeline, which transports #AzeriOil that is ultimately sent to Israel.'

"The #BTCPipeline runs from #Baku — the #Azeri capital and COP29 host city on the Caspian Sea —t hrough #Azerbaijan, #Georgia, and #Turkey and, according to Oil Change, supplies Israel with 28% of its oil, belying Thursday's claim by Turkish President #RecepTayyipErdoğan that the country has severed all ties with Israel.

"An investigation published in September by #EnergyEmbargoForPalestine showed how oil transported via the BTC pipeline is refined into jet fuel for Israel Defense Forces [#IDF] warplanes.

Oil Change continued:

"BP has also been granted #GasExploration licenses in occupied Palestinian waters. By providing it with fuel, BP enables the Israeli government to commit genocide in Gaza. Chevron operates and partially owns the two largest Israeli-claimed fossil #GasFields, #Tamar and #Leviathan, making it the main international actor extracting fossil gas claimed by Israel in the Mediterranean. In 2022, 70% of Israel's power was generated from fossil gas extracted by #Chevron. Through the millions of dollars it pays Israel for its gas extraction licenses, Chevron is also directly contributing to financing Israel's regime of #genocide, #apartheid, #SettlerColonialism, and #Occupation.

"'The complicity of international corporations and governments in fueling Israel's war machine represents the latest chapter in a long history of fossil fuel companies enabling genocide and mass atrocities,' #MohammedUsrof, a member of the #PalestinianYouth Climate Negotiation Team at COP29 who lost 21 relatives to Israel's onslaught, said in a statement Thursday. 'Every shipment of oil to Israel carries the weight of Palestinian lives.'

"Tipping Point U.K. organizer #SadieDeCost said that 'BP originated as a key enabler of the #BritishEmpire, and continues as one of the top 10 largest #CarbonEmitters in the world.'

"'It operates and is the largest owner of the BTC pipeline, which ships Azeri oil to fuel Israel's genocide in Gaza,' DeCost added. 'BP's historic colonial harms continue through its support of violent regimes. Its emissions are estimated to cause hundreds of billions of dollars of loss and damage. We must shut down BP to end this injustice, and demand climate reparations for impacted communities around the world.'"

#TraditionalOwners in Katherine and #Ngukurr regions threaten legal action over #GasExploration deal

TRADITIONAL owners in the Katherine and Ngukurr regions are threatening legal action to halt a historic and much-heralded gas exploration deal involving #GinaRinehart’s #mining companies

"TRADITIONAL owners in the #KatherineNT and Ngukurr regions are threatening legal action to halt a historic and much-heralded gas exploration deal involving Gina Rinehart’s mining companies.

"The NT News can reveal traditional owners from the #Alawa, #Kelweyi and #Mangarrayi land trusts will today use a scheduled #NorthernLandCouncil meeting to demand a review of the agreement and accuse the #NLC of failing to properly consult.

"NLC chief executive #JoeMorrison rejected the accusation as the work of #environmentalists fostering a 'rising tide of confusion' among traditional owners.

"The exploration deal for Hancock Prospecting’s #JacarandaMinerals and #MineralsAustralia over more than 6500sq km of #Aboriginal-owned land in the #McArthurBasin was announced in March last year as the first gas exploration permit on NLC-managed Aboriginal land.

"It was promoted by the NT Government as a win for jobs and the economy, and as a breakthrough in co-operation between traditional owners, mining companies, government and the NLC. But traditional owners soon after began calls for a review of the consultation and demanded copies of the deal they signed.

"'We are in agreement that the process and risks of onshore #ShaleGas #fracking and the scope of work plan was not explained to us. We believe there has been a failure to undertake proper consultation,' read the most recent of several letters signed by traditional owners and sent to the NLC and Chief Minister Adam Giles since April last year.

"Northern Territory #FrackFreeAlliance spokeswoman Lauren Mellor said traditional owners and members of the land trusts were refused copies of the agreement."

Stoppen Sie die geplante #GasExploration im einzigartigen #Ökosystem und #UNESCO #Weltkulturerbe #Wattenmeer vor #Borkum.

#Gasbohrungen vor Borkum haben keinen Nutzen, bringen aber #Klima und #Umwelt in Gefahr.

Verzögern Sie nicht die #Energiewende!

Stoppen Sie die geplanten Gasbohrungen!
