Is the attack on Gaza and what seems to be an attempt to depopulate the area at least partially about oil and gas?

On today’s Birthday Boost show we speak with Charlotte Dennett, a former reporter in the Middle East, investigative journalist, author and attorney. She is the daughter of America’s first master spy in the Middle East, Daniel C. Dennett. By investigating the plane crash that killed him after a top secret mission to Saudi Arabia, she discovered the role of “protecting the oil at all costs” (as stated by her father) in the Middle East wars, including the post 9/11 endless wars, and now, the war in Ukraine and the Israel Hamas war.

Charlotte joins host Esty Dinur to talk about the book, Follow the Pipelines: Uncovering the Mystery of a Lost Spy and the Deadly Politics of the Great Game of Oil, focusing largely on the ongoing violence in Israel’s attack on Gaza.

Charlotte Dennett is the co-author of Thy Will Be Done: The Conquest of the Amazon: Nelson Rockefeller and Evangelism in the Age of Oil as well as the book discussed in this show.   You can learn more about Follow the Pipelines at followthepipelines.com
