“Israel” Thrives on Palestinian Resources

In Response to answer #6

Historic Palestine has long had an abundance of natural resources, ranging from fresh and ground water, arable land and, more recently, oil and natural gas.

In the seven decades since the establishment of the state of Israel, these resources have been compromised and exploited through a variety of measures.

These include widespread Palestinian dispossession of land in the ongoing Nakba, exploitation of water through failed negotiations, and a finders-keepers approach to gas and oil found in or under occupied land.
