Chevron: Stop Fueling Genocide in Palestine
We are watching Israel set fire to hospitals, homes, shelters, and nurseries in Gaza, killing tens of thousands of Palestinians and burying countless more under the rubble. The survivors are being left to die slowly, as Israel continues to cut off access to food, clean water, gas, and medical care to over 2 million people.
Chevron is profiting from this violence. It supplies Israel's war machine with light and power through its operation and co-ownership of Leviathan and Tamar -- two major gas fields off the coast of occupied Palestinian land.
Now we are joining Palestinian civil society to call on Chevron to end its support for Israels ongoing genocide and systematic violation of Palestinian human rights. We've successfully targeted Chevron before, let's do it again.
Chevron also operates and partially owns the EMG pipeline, which connects Israel and Egypt, passing west of the Gaza shoreline. This pipeline is not under Israeli jurisdiction, and any economic gain in this area without Palestinian agreement is illegal under international law.
After the International Court of Justice issued its ruling that the Israeli occupation is illegal and that genocide in Gaza is plausible, top legal experts around the world have been warning that companies that are aiding and abetting Israel's crimes could be held complicit.
We've successfully targeted Chevron before. When the Myanmar military staged a coup in 2021 our community went after Chevron and helped push the company to leave Myanmar. It took several months of relentless pressure from Ek and partners. We can do it again.

Here's a cut & paste from my mail-box, that exposes the energy-supply-chain that supplied Israel before some action was taken...
The genocide and colonial expansion of the Israeli state are not powered on their own.
Israels military operations and colonial infrastructure heavily rely on imported crude oil and refined fuels, including jet fuel, gasoline, and diesel. In the past year alone, deliveries from the U.S., Russia, Azerbaijan, Greece, Italy, Brazil and more countries have supported these operations.
Israels electricity gridpowered by natural gas (70%), coal (17.5%), and renewable energy (10%)supplies the settlements and settlers' infrastructure, particularly in the occupied West Bank and Syrian Golan.
A New Report by our partner SOMO released today is exposing those supply chains and the link to the Israeli energy sectors use.
Our campaigning efforts have already led to Colombia suspending its coal exports to Israel and our coalition efforts have also put the government of Turkey on notice for continuing to export oil despite its announced embargo. Our partners have forced Maersk to admit they are transporting weapons, and Spain has refused docking to boats of death. Our historic mobilization at COP29 has made us grow our movement to stop fueling the genocide.
Our movement is growing and further exposing these ties; evidence is essential to hold government and companies complicit accountable.
The arms and fuel that power Israels genocidal assault on the Palestinians, as well as its bombing and colonial expansion in Syria and Lebanon, are being challenged by workers, activists and political leaders.
All States must impose an energy embargo including by holding their Energy corporations accountable and we want you to continue fighting with us to make that happen.
Onwards,
Inès & Rula
