Why don't the Oil Producing Arab nations stop shipping oil until the Palestinian conflict is resolved?

Two main reasons. First, of course, is the profit motive. No oil being sold means no money coming in. Perhaps more importantly, though, is that the other Arab states, by and large, do not really want the conflict to be resolved. If they did, then legitimate negotiations could have taken place decades ago, and this would have been settled. But having the conflict continue gives the rulers of these nations something with which to distract their own populations. They get not one but two enemies to rally the people around, which helps keep the people from questioning why, with all the oil money flowing in, their standard of living is so low and their freedoms are so restricted.Why don't the Oil Producing Arab nations stop shipping oil until the Palestinian conflict is resolved?
They do so, they ruin their profits, and they ruin the Global Economy. Last time they did this, around 1973 - the Europeans along with the Americans, and many other NATO members were threatening war if they didn't get their Oil.





Also, because of their oil price increase plan that they abandoned in the early 2000s, it has increased the rush to produce alternative fuels.





They can if they want, but they ruin themselves in the process. The Middle East produces nothing beneficial to the Global Market besides Oil.Why don't the Oil Producing Arab nations stop shipping oil until the Palestinian conflict is resolved?
more oil = more money and less Palestine's that the arabs have to kill so let the jews pay for it with their money and their lives and they (arabs0 (Egypt) collect money for nothing and their chicks and kicks are free...
If you buy gas for a car, if you use fuel for heating you best hope they don't or you will be paying much more for it - again.
Because the Arab dictators are too coward to do that


they listen to their masters in the US not to their people.
they can't stop, because the US Government will kick their *** and probably send some troops their to take of business.
because they like their money and most arab countries dont even like the palestinians.
Because Arab nations are capitalist.
why dont you oil down a palistinian
It's all about money and greed. People don't have any hearts anymore.
They like money more than they care about Hamas.
