Oil Jumps On Israel Violence Escalation: Tanks Enter Gaza, Kill At Least 3

Tyler Durden's picture




 

And just as oil was trending lower on the day, we receive our now daily news of Israel conflict escalation, as Reuters reports that tank fire has killed 3 Palestinians in Gaza, wounding another four including children. Bloomberg also chimes in:

  • ISRAEL ARMY SAYS FOUR PROJECTILES LAUNCHED FROM GAZA HIT SOUTH
  • FOUR PALESTINIANS KILLED BY ISRAELI FIRE IN GAZA, OFFICIAL SAYS

The result is an immediate jump in oil as the market apparently, and contrary to our expectations, has to digest this latest piece of geopolitical news.

Israel doesn't need anyone's help to continue to crush the Palestinians. They're a military superpower facing an opposition equipped with a few mortars, home made rockets, and assault rifles.

Google results for "Hezbollah/Hizbollah agents in Gaza" yield 785,000 results.

 

Hassan Nasrallah has had agents in Gaza since at least 2005.  The Iranians feed weapons to Gaza THROUGH Hezbollah, their proxxy in the area.

 

I understand that you probably mean the party does not have representation in Gaza politically, but they are absolutely involved in the violence there.

I don't follow your reasoning. Google results for "Disney agents in Gaza" yields 1,310,000 results. So what? And Israel has agents in Gaza too. And while we're on this subject, you might be interested to know that Israel helped establish Hamas, as a way to counterbalance (secular) Fatah (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123275572295011847.html).

The Iranians primarily feed weapons to Hamas via Egypt, not Lebanon. Gaza doesn't share a border with Lebanon, and Israel has almost total control of Gaza's coast and airspace.

Hizbullah and Hamas certainly have common cause, and I'm sure would help each other out. However, my original comment stands - that Hamas, with their mortars, home made rockets, and assault rifles, are no match for Israel, which is a military superpower.

The fact that Hizbullah is much better equipped than Hamas is irrelevant. Israel isn't facing them in Gaza.

There are only two countries that use depleted uranium muntions. These same two countries also do stoopid things like build huge walls to cage people in or out, and have huge prison populations. I don't know which one is the tail and which one is the dog, but I don't care.

There is a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart, that you can't take part; you can't even passively take part, and you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop. And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it, that unless you're free, the machine will be prevented from working at all!" Mario Savio 1964

Barry and Mish are doing the Lambada in Rio...occupied/"Do not disturb." Sarkozy's Legion is neutralizing 30-year-old armored assets in Libya...occupied, and focused on the task at hand. Four of six smoking nuclear reactors in Japan are as yet uncontained...essentially half of the Eastern Hemisphere: occupied, Geiger counter in-hand. Hence, the world at large thus "occupied," Bibi sees an opening to wage a cozy, "quiet" housecleaning engagement in Gaza.

Why did the tanks enter Gaza ??? No reports on this ..... They did not just enter Gaza unprovoked.

 

 

GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip -- Israeli tank fire wounded 11 people, including at least six militants, in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday following an attack on an Israeli patrol, the military and Palestinian officials said. One of the wounded later died in a hospital.

The Israeli military said its tanks opened fire after the militants detonated a bomb targeting the Israeli patrol near the border and then fired mortars at the soldiers.

Learn your Arabic • Nazi • history bitch.... It spans most counties in the Middle East. Arafat, Saddam, Nasser all sprang forth from this ideology. All brainwashed fools have grownup living this creed.

 

....... " The Führer's Mufti: After World War I, the Great Powers of Europe jockeyed for influence in the Middle East's oil fields and trade routes, with France and Britain holding mandates throughout most of the region. In the 1930s, the fascist regimes that arose in Italy and Germany sought greater stakes in the area, and began courting Arab leaders to revolt against their British and French custodians. Among their many willing accomplices was Jerusalem Mufti Haj Amin el-Husseini, who fled Palestine after agitating against the British during the Arab Revolt of 1936-39. He found refuge in Iraq – another of Her Majesty's mandates – where he again topped the British most wanted list after helping pull the strings behind the Iraqi coup of 1941. The revolt in Baghdad was orchestrated by Hitler as part of a strategy to squeeze the region between the pincers of Rommel's troops in North Africa, German forces in the Caucuses and pro-Nazi forces in Iraq. However, in June 1941 British troops put down the rebellion and the Mufti escaped via Tehran to Italy and eventually to Berlin. " ...............

Oil $103 WTI and more important, Brent hit 116.

Nothing else matters.  Not equities.  Not bonds.  Not Gold.  Not Silver.  Oil is the Alpha Asset and there is nothing anyone can do about it becoming insufficient to fuel the relentless growth in population.  Oil is food.  Oil is everything.  

And oil is scarce.

Suncor shuts off 250K bpd of production to planned periodic maintenance in early May.  The North Sea shuts down segments for seasonal Spring maintenance, too.

With the Japan refineries down, get ready to burn more oil for shipping in gasoline, rather than crude, and diesel, to fuel the 15 zillion 0.5 mpg 400 horsepower bulldozers that will start consuming fuel every single hour of every single day -- to say nothing of the 15 zillion Honda gasoline power generators that will be littering neighborhoods there soon.

Israel has 500 nukes and a powerful military that none in the mideast(maybe Turkey) can match up against. So their existence is not in jeopardy. We are wasting billions every year in aid and bases in the mideast. We have oil,natural gas,coal to fuel our energy needs. So we should just end aid to Palestine,Egypt,Israel,Saudi Arabia,Kuwait,Bahrain,Iraq,Pakistan,Jordan,Turkey,Oman,Qatar,UAE. It is time for us to forget that region that has known violence and war only. If not we will bankrupt our selves in the process to get oil from that shit hole called Saudi Arabia.

    Regarding the possession of Israeli land. Most people here are clueless about history. The territory of Palestine was part of the Ottoman Empire for 700 years. And only a tiny percentage of the land in Palestine was privately owned under the Ottomans (and yes, there were jooz in this land too). The various categories of land ownership included:

    • Mulk: privately owned in the Western sense.
    • Miri: Land owned by the government (originally the Ottoman crown) and suitable for agricultural use. Individuals could purchase a deed to cultivate this land and pay a tithe to the government. Ownership could be transferred only with the approval of the state. Miri rights could be transferred to heirs, and the land could be sub-let to tenants. If the owner died without an heir or the land was not cultivated for three years, the land would revert to the state.
    • Mahlul: Uncultivated Miri lands that would revert to the state, in theory after three years.
    • Mawat (or Mewat): So-called “dead”, unreclaimed land. It constituted about 50 to 60% of the land in Palestine. It belonged to the government. …If the land had been cultivated with permission, it would be registered, at least under the Mandate, free of charge.

    By the early 1940s Jews owned about one third of Mulk land in Palestine and Arabs about two-thirds. The vast majority of the total land, however, belonged to the government, meaning that when the state of Israel was established, it became legally Israel’s. (its believed that about 77% of the land was owned by the government, assuming 6 million dunams of private land.

    Get over your Israel hatred. Hamas launches missles, Israel fires back. Any idiot here that says he wouldn't respond to protect himself or his family is a joke.

    Don't like Israel, deal with it.

    When it comes to subject of Israel/Palestine, particularly on the topic of being labelled anti-Semitic when criticising the Jewish State I refer all honourable gentlemen to the quote that Gerald Kaufman gave during a speech in the Houses of Parliament during the brutal Gaza war in 2009. I would advise those cheerleaders of Israel's to first read the quote below:-

    "My parents came to Britain as refugees from Poland. Most of their families were subsequently murdered by the Nazis in the Holocaust. My grandmother was ill in bed when the Nazis came to her home town of Staszow. A German soldier shot her dead in her bed. My grandmother did not die to provide cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza".

    The news covering Netanyahu’s assault on the victims of his occupation reminds one of the news coverage of Soviet tanks rolling into Czechoslovakia forty years ago. The news? There’s almost no news except for these mentions on Zero Hedge. National Public Radio hourly reports and the network I checked this morning completely omitted any mention of the Israeli jets or the tank attack. 

    Like so many things that have happened with the Israeli occupation, if Americans don’t hear of it, then it really doesn’t exist.

    And so it was with the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. Said Czech Radio journalist Jan Bednar: "In 1968… Washington and all of Western Europe accepted the situation as it was… they accepted the idea that Czechoslovakia belonged to the Soviet sphere of influence."

    And so, said Jeremy Bransten on Radio Free Europe news, The Czechs and the Slovaks had to face the Soviet-led onslaught on their own.”

    And so it goes…

    cover for Israeli soldiers murdering Palestinian grandmothers in Gaza".

     

    Grandmas died because Grandpas let the fucking murderous butchering Nazis disarm them. She should have had a sawed off ready for the motherfuckers when they came through the door.

     

    As soon as the Palis kick Hamas & Hezbollah out & refuse to allow their backyards and orchards to be used for firing platforms for those false flag missiles, at that point henceforth Israeli jets & tanks will not be needed. After that their use would constitute criminality.

    Until then Israel can do what I can do- strike back at those who strike me.

    or a more logical conclusion - the overwhelming force of the Nazi's on all nations at the time, similar to the overwhelming force that Israel now exacts over the Palestinians. You can't use the crimes of the past as an excuse to commit your own crimes of the present and of the future.

    Well, if you're a big fan of an eye-for-an-eye, how can you criticise the Gazans, who've had their land stolen from them, and have had many, many more of their people slaughtered by the Israelis than the reverse.

    Hamas don't 'hide' behind women and children. Gaza is one of the most densely populated areas on Earth. Israel fires precision missiles into their homes, kills entire families, and then blames the victims. For what? Being at home?

    Israel has been preparing for war since1938. Israel is a war “nation,” armed to the teeth.  They have the latest military technology that American taxpayers can buy—nuclear weapons, fighter jets, missiles carriers…  They are an armed camp.

    "We created terror among the Arabs and all the villages around. In one blow, we changed the strategic situation."  -- Menachem Begin

    Excerpts from The Deir Yassin Massacre by William Martin | CounterPunch | May 13, 2004

    “On April 9, 1948, members of the underground Jewish terrorist group, the Irgun, or IZL, led by Menachem Begin, who was to become the Israeli prime minister in 1977, entered the peaceful Arab village of Deir Yassin, massacred 250 men, women, children and the elderly, and stuffed many of the bodies down wells. There were also reports of rapes and mutilations. The Irgun was joined by the Jewish terrorist group, the Stern Gang, led by Yitzhak Shamir, who subsequently succeeded Begin as prime minister of Israel in the early '80s, and also by the Haganah, the militia under the control of David Ben Gurian. The Irgun, the Stern Gang and the Haganah later joined to form the Israeli Defense Force. Their tactics have not changed…

    “From about 1938 on to the founding of Israel, Begin was the leader of the Irgun. That group regularly assassinated English soldiers in Palestine and frequently hung their booby-trapped bodies in public places. Under Begin, the Irgun blew up the King David Hotel in Jerusalem in 1946, killing 97 British civil servants. The Stern Gang, under Shamir, also assassinated the U.N. representative to Palestine, Count Bernadotte, in 1948.

    "But Deir Yassin was not the only massacre by the Israeli Defense Force. That army, under Moshe Dayan, took the unarmed and undefended village of al-Dawazyma, located in the Hebron hills, massacred 80 to 100 of its residents, and threw their bodies into pits. "The children were killed by breaking their heads with sticks ... The remaining Arabs were then sealed in houses, as the village was systematically razed ..." (Nur Masalha, The Historical Roots of the Palestinian Refugee Question)…

    "In fact, according to UN estimates, which some say are conservative, 750,000 Palestinians fled the site of the present Jewish state in 1948. Those refugees and their descendents now number about 4.5 million and constitute the largest and longest standing refugee population in the world. Many live in squalid refugee camps distributed in the surrounding Arab states or in the West Bank or Gaza, many retain the titles to their land, recognized by the British before 1948 or the Ottomans before that, and many retain the keys to their front doors of their former homes in what is now Israel, whether or not those doors still exists…"

    You are so far out there. I mean, really, you are one hell of a dumb mother fucker. So you are an atheist loving Israel. Great. So let's see what your beloved Israel and its pawns have to say about this:

    Chuck Schumer On Gaza: 'Strangle' Them Economically

    "This past Wednesday, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) delivered a wide-ranging speech at an Orthodox Union event in Washington, D.C. The senator's lecture touched on areas such as Iran's nuclear program, the Israel-Palestinian conflict, and several domestic policy issues.

    During one point of his speech, Schumer turned his attention to the situation in Gaza. He told the audience that the "Palestinian people still don't believe in the Jewish state, in a two-state solution," and also that "they don't believe in the Torah, in David." He went on to say "you have to force them to say Israel is here to stay."

    New York's senior senator explained that the current Israeli blockade of the Gaza Strip -- which is causing a humanitarian crisis there -- is not only justified because it keeps weapons out of the Palestinian territory, but also because it shows the Palestinians living there that "when there's some moderation and cooperation, they can have an economic advancement." Summing up his feelings, Schumer emphasized the need to "to strangle them economically until they see that's not the way to go, makes sense"

    See that, dumbnut? Can you read and comprehend? When they'll believe in Torah and the supremacy of ours, then we can talk! Can you fucking get a grasp of it? Hardly. Yet again - you are so far out there with your jungle fascist machismo, it's fucking hilarious. You are stuck in a box of mental retardation and there's no way out.

    Hey Creed, I've just done a little research into 'cause and effect'

    It appears Hamas started lobbing the mortars... two days after Israel's 'Defense' Force killed two militants in an airstrike at a training camp in Gaza.

    But I suppose Hamas aren't allowed to retaliate, are they? Only Israel is allowed to kill, because the Palestinians are only filthy Arabs.

    What a racist you are... unless, of course, you hadn't realised that it was the Israelis who started this latest fracas - an easy mistake to make, as hardly any Western MSM mention it.
