Pulling back the curtain on Israel.

Why is Israel destroying the Gaza?

We all know that the apparent “reason” for Israel’s brutal and inhumane pogrom designed to wipe the Palestinian people off the map is to destroy Hamas, which of course is false, because there was never any need to kill countless innocent civilians nor to destroy entire cities if the real objective was to isolate and take out Hamas - so of course that is not the real reason.

Despite the fact that there exists a deep disregard and hatred toward the Palestinians within certain Israeli circles, the reasons behind wiping out Gaza City, literally, destroying every building, has nothing to do with the Hamas - it is about real estate.

The Israeli regime under the dictatorship of Netanyahu and his cronies, simply want to take control of the Gaza and one of those reasons has to do with a plan to build a major canal that would cross the Israeli desert, potentially passing close to Gaza, or even through Gaza to optimize distance and cost, before reaching the Mediterranean coast near Ashkelon. The proposed plan would make this new canal, called the Ben Gurion Canal, both wider and deeper than the Suez Canal and would reshape commercial and military global shipping routes considerably.

When you consider the following statistics provided by www.atlanticcouncil.org, the ultimate value to Israel to create an alternate canal for global trade routes would not only be astronomical, but would also provide it and its major ally and supporter throughout its blitz to destroy Gaza, the United States, with a chokepoint to control global trade and maintain military control over the Middle East. Here are some stats:

• The Suez Canal currently attracts about 12 to 15 percent of worldwide trade and about 30 percent of global container traffic—with more than $1 trillion in goods transiting annually.

• Roughly 9 percent of global seaborne oil flows (about 9.2 million barrels per day in early 2023) and around 8 percent of liquefied natural gas (LNG) volumes.

• Roughly fifty to sixty ships transit the canal daily, carrying an estimated $3 billion to $9 billion in cargo value.

• The Suez toll revenue—a major economic lifeline for Egypt— generated $9.4 billion 2022–2023.

Besides the fact that the planned Ben Gurion Canal would majorly disrupt the Egyptian economy, it would provide Israel with an additional stronghold over Gaza and more reason to use military force to “protect” it.

When you read about the continuing slaughter and displacement of Palestinians by Israel, and the destruction of their land, realize that Netanyahu and his clan of sociopaths have another agenda and it is all about money and control - not the Hamas as they would have everyone believe.

Like the U.S. invasion of Iraq in 2003, based on a false flag event which the White House and Pentagon dreamed up and tried to sell to the world, that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction, which they never did, the true agenda was to put American boots in Iraq followed by American corporations to establish control over oil and other resources.

Follow the money trail, because most wars are started by men seeking more wealth and more control - and Israel is no different.
