Yeah, we can’t import from Russia because they’re killing civilians in an unjustified war. But Israel…. Hey wait a minute.

Just one of the many reasons behind the genocide and ethnic cleansing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_gas_in_the_Gaza_Strip

haha, ethical europe refuses to buy gas from russia (no genocide), doesnt want to buy EVs from china (no genocide) but buys gas from israel (absolutely yes televised genocide).

the west really is the only civilized place on earth...

More than only gas. Europe is mass buying Israeli weapons to fund the genocide.

Note that those weapons are rarely made in Israel. Manufacturing is done in the US or Europe. Israel only designs and tests the weapons on their human test subjects in the concentration camp.

I'm starting to think using fossil fuel, and having a strong dependency on other countries for energy supply, may not be a good idea after all.

Thanks. I was sorta surprised israel had natural gas and the article you link at least does indicate it comes from offshore rigs so bascially from the mediteranian. Makes me wonder how unique its position is and how many other countries get gas from the meditaranian given how many countries border it.

Here's another article about how it's not even really their legally accepted gas to begin with
