Today Victor Davis Hanson's op-ed piece titled " It's the oil, stupid" tried to make the case that lower oil prices would rein in Iran, Syria and their proxies Hamas, Hezbollah etc.
The last time I looked at the occupied territories of historic Palestine, I didn't notice any benefits of petro-dollars cash flow. Maybe Mr. Hanson wants Israel to be left alone and not criticised while it continues it's 60 year old slow-motion genocide of the Palestinians. The fact is that Palestinian suicide bombers do their thing for free. They don't need huge amounts of petro-dollars to be effective. The price per barrel of oil in 1947 was $2.50. Today it's in the $ 60's. The rigged U.N. partition vote of Palestine was taken in 1947. Since that time, the Palestinian resistance has been the low-cost producer of war. Money or the price of oil has nothing to do with their cause.
