Israel buys oil smuggled from ISIS territory

[Contumacious]

Israel has become the main buyer for oil from ISIS controlled territory, reports "al-Araby al-Jadeed."


Kurdish and Turkish smugglers are transporting oil from ISIS controlled territory in Syria and Iraq and selling it to Israel, according to several reports in the Arab and Russian media. An estimated 20,000-40,000 barrels of oil are produced daily in ISIS controlled territory generating $1-1.5 million daily profit for the terrorist organization.

In August, the "Financial Times" reported that Israel obtained 75% of its oil supplies from Iraqi Kurdistan. More than a third of such exports go through the port of Ceyhan, which the FT describe as a “potential gateway for ISIS-smuggled crude."

We're buying it also from isis. It's just coming out from a different spigot.

Israel turns to Kurds for three-quarters of its oil supplies

Israel has imported as much as three-quarters of its oil from Iraq’s semi-autonomous Kurdish north in recent months, providing a vital source of funds to the cash-strapped region as it fights militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isis).

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Looks like russia too, huh.

Turkish president says he has proof Russia bought oil from Islamic State

That explains why Israeli lobby in this country is so keen on destabilizing Syria. Thank Gods, Obama is the President now who was able to resist both Israeli and war lobbies or else there would have been many more Syrian casualties. There is so much pressure on Obama to go to war In Syria, it is beyond belief.

The Kurds have joined ISIS? Okie dokie......

Syrian oil is for the people of Syria not Turkey or Israel.

Israel funding the fight against isis by buying oil from and funding the Kurds

For some months, Israel has been buying the majority of its oil from northern Iraqi Kurds. It's a good thing.

First and most obvious, Israel has been able to obtain the crude at a reasonable price due to its geographic proximity. Some industry sources say Israel is receiving a discount from the Kurds, although Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) officials denied the report.

Second, because Israel invests so much of its consumer dollars in Iraqi Kurdish product, the Kurds have better resources with which to fund their war against Da’esh (ISIS). This is especially important, since it seems that only the Kurds have been able to present a consistent, long-haul effective fighting force against the Da’esh terror machine.

Third, every dollar invested with Iraqi Kurdistan is a dollar that frays the ties between Erbil and Baghdad – or perhaps, the ties between Erbil and Iran. For decades, Baghdad has feared the Kurdish yearning to carve out a free and sovereign state of Kurdistan.

But today one can quite legitimately ask who exactly is in control in Baghdad. Most regional analysts believe the Iraqi government no longer exists, other than to provide a fig leaf for Tehran

May have more to do with Syria attacking Israel in a war of aggression and cowardice. It sounds like crap top me.

Syria's territory is being violated by both Israel and Turkey on a daily basis. So it is hard to believe, it is Syria who is an aggressor here.

Greg

That is even more cruel: steal Syrian oil and then sell it back to Syria.

Yeah: a real winner...hundreds of thousands DEAD and millions displaced as well as exporting terrorists around the world. Sounds like Obama should do a Victory lap around the Middle East!!!

It's past being just a Civil War...it is a failed state. Israel and Turkey are right to defend themselves from those elements that would attack both. Frankly I've seen very little Israeli involvement at all while the Turks seem to have a confused response. Obama?? His policies have failed so far. Maybe he could get some NEW ONES!!!

It seems like you do not know much about the U.S. Presidents do not have as much power as you think they do. In order to stay in the office, they have to rely on support from special interest groups aka lobbies. This is why you will never see me bashing Bush or Obama. The major difference between Obama and Bush is that Obama resisted these lobbies a lot more than Bush did.

The pressure is to bring about a PEACE in Syria...something his policies have failed to do so far, but we live in hopeychangey.

So how is Syria working out if Obama is correct?
