A Jewish friend says: “Jews have been involved in the oil industry since its inception. Hess oil (which was later known as Amarada Hess) was started and run by Jews. Shell Oil Company (Royal Dutch Shell) was owned by Jews, and I am sure that Jews control a significant part of Russia\u2019s oil industry. On a non ownership level, many of the petroleum engineers who work for oil companies are Jews.”<\/p>\n
Steve Sailer writes<\/a>: There have been Jews who were very successful in the oil biz, like Armand Hammer who did well in Libya. Shell was founded by a Jewish Brit. The Rothschilds funded the Russian oil biz way back around the beginning of the 20th Century.<\/p>\n The top writer on oil industry history is Daniel Yergin from Beverly Hills (I think he\u2019s doing something with Trump\u2019s transition team). His book \u201cThe Prize\u201d is very good.<\/p>\n But in general it\u2019s just not that Jewish of a business.<\/p>\n * The Prize is one of the best business books I\u2019ve ever read.<\/p>\n I\u2019m sure Steve knows this, but that book was adapted into a multi-part PBS miniseries<\/a> that is also simply outstanding. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A Jewish friend says: “Jews have been involved in the oil industry since its inception.
