Global indifference and cowardice over Israel’s crimes against humanity caused the surge in gas prices.
If American politicians had taken sufficient actions against fascist and imperialist Israel during its genocide and ethnic cleansing in Palestine — like eliminating support of Israel’s crimes against humanity, terminating military funding of Israel, ending weapons transfers to Israel, stopping trade with Israel and even taking military action against Israel — then Israel wouldn’t have been emboldened to attack Lebanon, Syria, Iran, Yemen and Qatar. Then, Iran wouldn’t have been forced to block the Strait of Hormuz, and there wouldn’t be the surge in gas prices.
World leaders are still too scared to stand up against Israel. The Strait of Hormuz will be closed until they do.
