Israel Destroys Gaza to Control World’s Most Important Shipping Lane

Part 1: In this Part 2, Richard Medhurst expands on his geopolitical analysis in another viral video, exposing the hidden reasons behind the war on Gaza, such as the Ben Gurion Canal. In Part 1 Medhurst already discussed how the US and Israel have sough to control the large quantities of gas in the Mediterrenean Sea, while also countering BRICS and China’s New Silk Road. In this Part 2, Medhurst discusses Israel and the United States’ plan to build the Ben Gurion Canal, a rival to the infamous Suez Canal in Egypt. The proposed canal is named after Israel’s first Prime Minister Ben Gurion and would connect the Red Sea to the Mediterrenean Sea, thereby cutting shipping time and costs– just as the Suez Canal already does. It goes without saying that cutting costs for global trade, and controlling the flow of traffic itself, presen eonormous economic and geopolitical incentives for Israel and the United States. The idea for this Ben Gurion Canal was hatched in the 1960s as a response to Egypt’s nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser in 1956. Originally featured in US goverment documemnts, the papers were only declassified later in the 1990s. Gaza is located in a key, geostrategic area of the globe. The Ben Gurion Canal would have to go right through Gaza, if not alongside it, which means the destruction of Gaza and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians on a massive scale– precisely what we are witnessing today.
