John -
Tomorrow, oil giant Chevron will be announcing its financial earnings — while it rakes in huge profits directly tied to Israel's prolonged attack on Gaza.
The Israeli government has been speeding up its plans to sell more and more dirty LNG to fund its ongoing destruction of life and land in Gaza. Now Chevron is making big investments in offshore oil fields in the area to boost fossil gas production in order to make it happen.1
It’s unconscionable that the quest for fossil fuel profits is exacerbating the destruction. That’s why as we continue to fight to take down the fossil fuel industry, 350 is partnering with Common Defense to demand that Chevron immediately divest from Israeli LNG infrastructure expansion and STOP its complicity in this genocide.
John, Netanyahu’s administration has besieged Gaza, cruelly limiting supplies of fuel and energy as well as destroying renewable energy infrastructure — which has contributed to the unfolding genocide and accompanying humanitarian crisis. On record, 35,000 Palestinians have been killed, 75,000 have been injured, and 85% of the population has been displaced from their homes.2,3
And with recent investments in oil fields in the Eastern Mediterranean over the past year, Chevron has already profited at the expense of human lives in Gaza.
Chevron massively profited from expanding fossil gas extraction and export here in the United States at the expense of vulnerable and marginalized communities on the Gulf Coast and Indigenous lands. Now, they stand to do the same as the Israeli government insists on funding its ongoing destruction in Gaza.
We’ve already seen how oil and gas have fueled conflicts across the globe, and we’re witnessing it again as the Israeli government and fossil fuel companies like Chevron are positioning themselves to further profit from the devastation and further displacement of Palestinian people. And the last thing Chevron wants is for the public to find out.
In the face of human suffering, we must take action and call out the fossil fuel companies profiting from war and conflict across the globe — and continue to push for a world beyond fossil fuels.
That’s why 350.org will have people on the ground on May 15 to publicly deliver our petition calling on Chevron to stop investing in Israel’s fossil gas infrastructure expansion.
In solidarity,
- Team 350
