Off the coast of Palestine, multinational fossil fuel corporations have received licenses from so-called Israel to explore for gas. The gas is yet another indicator that Israel is using the genocide to enable resource exploitation among its other interests. This gas lies in Palestinian waters and as an occupying power, Israel is violating international law by giving the rights to these gas field to BP, Chevron and Eni. These are the same companies that have devastated the people, environment and economies of many countries in the global south, who have suffered irreversibly consequences of their operations. This settler-colonial regime will be forcing the impacts of the imperial and neo-colonial fossil fuel industry on the Palestinian people.
GSU has begun a campaign against this industry, using several strategies and tactics such as research, knowledge sharing and targeting of industry players. These include companies and governments of Egypt, Jordan, the European Union and others involved in this destructive, militarised and illegal gas extraction. We invite GSU to talk about the dire need for a critical campaign such as this one, share information on the industry and discuss potential for support.

Given the pro-privacy stance of the platform, it’s taken as a given that it’ll be used for a number of reasons, not all of them good. And Telegram has been attached to a fair few scandals related to terrorism, sexual exploitation and crime. Back in 2015, Vox described Telegram as “ISIS’ app of choice,” saying that the platform’s real use is the ability to use channels to distribute material to large groups at once. Telegram has acted to remove public channels affiliated with terrorism, but Pavel Durov reiterated that he had no business snooping on private conversations. The account, "War on Fakes," was created on February 24, the same day Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a "special military operation" and troops began invading Ukraine. The page is rife with disinformation, according to The Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, which studies digital extremism and published a report examining the channel. In the United States, Telegram's lower public profile has helped it mostly avoid high level scrutiny from Congress, but it has not gone unnoticed. Telegram was founded in 2013 by two Russian brothers, Nikolai and Pavel Durov. "The argument from Telegram is, 'You should trust us because we tell you that we're trustworthy,'" Maréchal said. "It's really in the eye of the beholder whether that's something you want to buy into."
