BDS Alert: Israeli gas stations all over southwest US

 


While in Albuquerque, New Mexico on our current trip out west, Global Network board member Bob Anderson from Stop the War Machine in Albuquerque showed us a gas station owned and run by Israel. 

Bob said that Israel has been buying up 7-11 and other convenience stores and putting their DK stations all across the southwest of the US. 

On our drive through part of Texas today we saw more of the stations.

Bob says most people in the Palestine solidarity movement don't know anything about these Israeli gas stations.

Help spread the word.

Delek US EVP, CTO & Chief Data Officer Ido Biger added: "There are opportunities here for any technological company that can make us better and we will be their gateway to the U.S.


"The energy industry is divided into three parts, the upstream - exploration and production, with a global daily rate of 97 million barrels of crude oil, the midstream - those companies that store the oil and take care of transporting and distributing it, and the downstream - which turn the crude oil into products in the refineries, and distribute them further to the final consumers, among other things at the gas stations," explained Ido Biger, EVP, CTO and Chief Data Officer at Delek US, speaking at the Calcalist Forecasts conference. 

Delek US is a downstream company, founded in 2001 by Uzi Yemin, and after several years, in 2006, became a public American company traded on the NYSE. The value of the company today is about $2 billion. The company has four refineries, two of which are in Texas, one in Arkansas and one in Louisiana. In addition, the company has dozens of terminals and hundreds of gas stations in New Mexico, Texas and Arkansas, a fleet of trucks, trains and logistics.
