“If the bulk of ME countries decide to boycott Israel in a time of all out war, where does Israel turn for a vital resource?”

They go to the IPE and buy oil futures like everyone else.

The structure of oil market has changed over the last 40 years and the current structure would make it extremely difficult for an oil producing country to pull off of its oil off the market or placing an embargo on Israel.

You seem to be under the belief that “normal” circumstances will prevail in regional and global markets under an all out offensive against Israel by her hostile neighbors. I am under no such illusion and the primary point behind our agreement was to help insure the survival of Israel when she was attacked like she was in previous decades (historical precedences are quite clear on the rationale behind this agreement).

Your “assurances” are, once again, absurd, and do not subscribe to historical precedences. I certainly would not wish to pin my own survival upon irrational assurances such the like which you subscribe to.

Honestly, you're not talking to an ignorant rube who will believe the tripe you are attempting to pass off to him as “Prime Rib”, comprende?

Oil Futures are paper investments, not real oil.

No more reliable than paper guns or paper gold.

Paper is for fools to make party hats out of.
