Energy corporations are constantly profiting from activities that fuel and finance Israel's colonial regime of apartheid and genocide against the Palestinian people. That is what stands out in the toolkit recently published by a global coalition from both within and beyond the region. Focusing on two particular corporations – Eni and Dana Petroleum, which in October 2023 were awarded gas exploration licenses from Israel in Palestinian waters – the publication is helpful to understand why energy is a critical issue in the struggle for Palestinian liberation. Beyond the particular companies, the anti-normalisation campaigns explored in section four are examples of initiatives by Palestinian, Indigenous and anti-imperialist movements that are inspirational for organisations in the struggle for climate justice. This call to action in the format of a toolkit can be accessed here.
