Should we get out of the Middle East?

We can speculate it might not be as fast, but oil companies are increasing production as the price rises. They care more about the economics of drilling to some degree.

More pipelines are being made as they always are.

 

Yes, higher prices is exactly what the frackers have been waiting for.

Politicians will play politics with every issue and oil is one of their favorites. Biden can pretend to care for the environment to appease the enviros, but US oil production isn't going anywhere.

 

In part. That will decline with the transference from fossil fuels to sustainable energy sources. It will also have a massive impact on the U.S. economy and both our domestic and foreign policies.

 

It would be better to find ways to accept and adjust to that reality than to fight against it. We should work on dominating the new energy markets, but some people have a hard time letting go of the past.

 

Ok.

 

Translation:
You know your statement was false

They moved there from Israel proper and are Israeli citizens.
Duh.

 

So they're foreign agents. It's a dirty trick flooding a region with strangers to marginalize the local civilization.

But that's typical of "Israel issues". Zionists lie, cheat and deceive as much as they can. Zionist dishonesty is the main reason for today's anti-Semitism.

 

No. They're Israelis.
Under international law, the West Bank belongs to Isreal.

 

Not so fast partner. Seems OPEC has much to say about oil prices.

OPEC+ meeting canceled, sending oil prices climbing higher

No doesn't - someone is pulling your chain - the West Bank does not belong to Israel under International Law - hence the term "Occupied Territories"

You seem to be confusing "Occupation" with ownership.

 

Then why are non-Jewish Palestinians living in the Israeli property "West Bank" not allowed to vote?
Could Israel be an apartheid state? Malicious gossips said so.

 

I answered this already- they aren't citizens.
Just like the US, Israel does not allow non-citizens to vote.

How does the fact a state does not allow non-citizens to vote make them apartheid?
Does- any- state allow non-citizens to vote?

 

The main difference is that non-US-citizens are immigrants. They know what it means to emigrate. While the non-Israeli-Westbankers didn't move. They suddenly fall under the rule of an occupier (Israel) and lose nearly all civil rights.

 

A distinction w/o a difference. Non-citizens do not get to vote.

They lost their civil rights, including right to vote when Jordan decided to give up the West Bank.
Jordan subsequently ceded the WB to Israel, ending the occupation.
Israel has no responsibility to give citizenship to a group of people who are sworn to its destruction.
