Israel has granted oil exploration rights inside Syria, in the occupied Golan Heights, to Genie Energy. Major shareholders of Genie Energy – which also has interests in shale gas in the United States and shale oil in Israel – include Rupert Murdoch and Lord Jacob Rothschild. This from a 2010 Genie Energy press release
Claude Pupkin, CEO of Genie Oil and Gas, commented, “Genie’s success will ultimately depend, in part, on access to the expertise of the oil and gas industry and to the financial markets. Jacob Rothschild and Rupert Murdoch are extremely well regarded by and connected to leaders in these sectors. Their guidance and participation will prove invaluable.”
“I am grateful to Howard Jonas and IDT for the opportunity to invest in this important initiative,” Lord Rothschild said. “Rupert Murdoch’s extraordinary achievements speak for themselves and we are very pleased he has agreed to be our partner. Genie Energy is making good technological progress to tap the world’s substantial oil shale deposits which could transform the future prospects of Israel, the Middle East and our allies around the world.”
For Israel to seek to exploit mineral reserves in the occupied Golan Heights is plainly illegal in international law. Japan was succesfully sued by Singapore before the International Court of Justice for exploitation of Singapore’s oil resources during the second world war. The argument has been made in international law that an occupying power is entitled to opeate oil wells which were previously functioning and operated by the sovereign power, in whose position the occupying power now stands. But there is absolutely no disagreement in the authorities and case law that the drilling of new wells – let alone fracking – by an occupying power is illegal.
Israel tried to make the same move twenty years ago but was forced to back down after a strong reaction from the Syrian government, which gained diplomatic support from the United States. Israel is now seeking to take advantage of the weakened Syrian state; this move perhaps casts a new light on recent Israeli bombings in Syria.
In a rational world, the involvement of Rothschild and Murdoch in this international criminal activity would show them not to be fit and proper persons to hold major commercial interests elsewhere, and action would be taken. Naturally, nothing of the kind will happen.
all thats missing is Larry Silverstein .
Oh dear, this thread has become a bit of a mess of anti-Jewish sentiment, hasn’t it? “Hitler had the right idea”, “megaton fireball over Tel Aviv” – one cannot speak out against the ills of Israeli foreign policy but be in favour of an annihilation of a whole people.

bollocks .. what’s wrong is wrong
It is not the Jewish people that cause the problems,any more than the American people. It is the cabal or Illuminati (banksters, Oil cabal, industrial/military complex, and their media mouthpiece of whom Murdoch is the leader)who are controlling the world. No one can become President of the US or PM of the UK unless they are approved by the Illuminati and do their bidding. Bring their dirty dealings out into the open and their power will soon evaporate. They were able to concentrate their power over the world through secrecy and wealth and mind control through the control of the media. The people of the world should take heart and know that “knowledge is power.”

Why not argue for confiscation of the assets of the two gentlemen, Murdoch and Rothschild, by The State, thus preventing corruption from within, enriching the coffers of the government directly instead of through begging from the latter two gentleman. A direct percentage can be given to the people who assist in tracing those assets.
Why stop and Murdoch and Rothschild? Confiscate all of the oligarchs wealth 🙂
Bill. Whilst studying a map of the middle east, i started to wonder who and what have been the main obstacles standing in the way of zionist expansion across the region. The answer? That’s right, Muslims and Islamic countries. Whether its to your taste or not this glaring fact can not be ignored. It suddenly made even more sense why we have seen a gradual increase in demonisng Muslims, in particular in the middle east. The zionists control the media (on the large part) and they well know that Islamic countries, in particular Iran and Lebanon, are the only real thing that stands in their way. And I make the distinction here between zionist Jews and non-zionist Jews, the latter of which are mostly devout to the ancient Judaic teachings which has almost nothing to do with zionism. If you do a quick google search you will discover that there are many non-zionist Jews living quite happily in Islamic countries, including I’ll add Iran! I don’t include Syria in my comment as its officially a secular country, but have no doubts there too live many non-zionist Jews. The zionists have managed to dupe the world into believing that all the worlds Jews are fully on-board with zionism and the zionist state of israel. This could not be further from the truth. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y48cYB89FXU&feature=player_embedded
Yup!
Also, Zionists don’t have to be Jewish which gives other megalomaniacs the chance to get involved with countries that are only interested in taking over the wealth of nearby countries. International Law is a joke. Only helps the rich, the poor are left to be enslaved and die.
The situation will not be resolved because of the Rothschild connection – they underpin the world’s biggest economies and are Zionists, and have been manipulating British and US foreign policy for two hundred years. How much did Murdoch borrow off them to buy his corrupt media empire?
Lovely to see this article quoted widely on the web as definitive proof that Zionism is a cancer spreading through the planet. Keep up the great work.
How precisely does Israel grant anyone rights, IN SYRIA??? Israel has no right to grant anyone anything in Syria!!! It’s called an act of war! in violation of international law and the laws of nations!
When will the world wake up to the crimes against humanity that is Israel?
problem is,
despite breaking all the rules of law they continue and will continue even have problems. WHERE IS ONU?
WHERE IS ICC ?
WHERE ARE ALL THE PARTISANS OF FREEDOM , PEACE AND PROSPERITY? or that things are only a double standard for zionists and the same 12 or 13 families which own almost the whole world?
It’s time to do something, also for Russia and China, because before or after there will be their turn of being under threat by same powers….. I think Russia and China must start to pose some red lines, and when those lines are crossed it’s time to do something. Also if costs. The whole world will help (the sane world)
Thank goodness somebody has started exposing this.
The corporation that has a list of men which reads like the ‘who’s who’ of moguls, oligarchs and war makers. The place where corruption, power and wealth all get into bed with each other to decide the outcome of the life’s and deaths of innocent people.
All those names of notoriety and not a single shared conscience between them.
Well done Mr. Murray

Israel is putting itself at the center of a Methane hub in the Eastern Mediterranean.
its alright if its ‘might'(power), but its criminal if it is done by the goyems and mushrooms(us). the tentacles of power spread around the globe and we are brought up to believe in the wonderful western governments who can do no wrong, through the media as it was and now is. only russia is standing against the ‘moguls’ who are nothing more than ‘paper puppets’, who can,and should be brought down by ‘us’. take away their wealth and what is left? a motley crew of overrated nothings. and they all go through the daily routines like we do. they eventually die like we do, so what is so different? its our belief systems that hold sway and entrap us into servitude. our next door neighbor will tell you that anything but ‘normal’ is a ‘conspiracy theory’. so they don’t want to ‘rock the boat’ because their lifestyle might be interrupted. and so fellow mushrooms it is gonna take a lot of change to change. lol might is always right and remember the golden rule; that he holds the gold makes the rules. self styled ‘baron’ rothschild (mayer amschell the pawnbroker from frankfurt in
1737 worked that one out). what can we do?
we must pose heavy pressure on Israel for taking oil from Syrian territory, whatever they are doing they cannot take oil from another country.
what tell ONU?
what tell Nikky haley
what tell the whole world of sionist thief?
Genocide of Syrian’s for this ?
And it was only three months after oil was discovered inthe Golan Heights that the “Arab Spring” broke out in Syria – just fancy that!
What, no mention of Dick Cheney? It’s an odd collection of who’s who in Genie Oil & Gas. https://genieoilgas.com/about-us/strategic-advisory-board/
Try to steal oil in Texas from an American cititzen and see what’s happening? Try to fly a drone attack into the center of New York, what would be the reaction? Shoot down an American Airlines flight over Long Island sound, killing all the passengers, which country would glow? Who has given the peoples right to corrupt politicians?
Exploitation of natural gas from Palestinian waters was undertaken by Israel which had a value of 11 Billion U. S. Dollars. They seem to get away with thieving along with war crimes continually.
What a bunch of Bull! Golan is Isreal not Syrian. I have been there. Isreal has turned Golan into lush farms. I hope they do strike oil.
Steve, not quite true is it buddy. “Liu Jieyi (Chinese Ambassador and Chair of UN Security Council 2016) recalled a 1981 resolution which states that Israel’s “decision to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration in the occupied Syrian Golan Heights was nul and void and without any international legal effect. http://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=S/RES/497(1981)
Democracy, people are manipulated by unelected ruthless individuals. Murdoch and Rothchild joined at the hip to America and Israel. The UK always ready to facilitate. This page has given more insight into the ruthless ambitions of these people.
