The Khartoum Resolution of September 1, 1967 (Israel, radical, Canada, support)

[pshinspections]

The Khartoum Resolution issued on September 1 allowed the moderate oil producing nations (Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Libya) to resume oil exports and regain this critical source of revenue without risking disquiet or even overthrow from their more radical citizens.

Who cares, the hell with Israel.

We need oil, we import it from many countries not only the ME. In fact we import less from the ME than Venzuela or Canada.

Why is it that everything we need to decide about our future we have to double check with Israel first. Time to let go of this costly relationship.
