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.

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. He said that since his platform does not have the capacity to check all channels, it may restrict some in Russia and Ukraine "for the duration of the conflict," but then reversed course hours later after many users complained that Telegram was an important source of information. "There is a significant risk of insider threat or hacking of Telegram systems that could expose all of these chats to the Russian government," said Eva Galperin with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, which has called for Telegram to improve its privacy practices. Right now the digital security needs of Russians and Ukrainians are very different, and they lead to very different caveats about how to mitigate the risks associated with using Telegram. For Ukrainians in Ukraine, whose physical safety is at risk because they are in a war zone, digital security is probably not their highest priority. They may value access to news and communication with their loved ones over making sure that all of their communications are encrypted in such a manner that they are indecipherable to Telegram, its employees, or governments with court orders. On Telegram’s website, it says that Pavel Durov “supports Telegram financially and ideologically while Nikolai (Duvov)’s input is technological.” Currently, the Telegram team is based in Dubai, having moved around from Berlin, London and Singapore after departing Russia. Meanwhile, the company which owns Telegram is registered in the British Virgin Islands.
