Hahahahaha... umm, no. Israel doesn't produce any oil for exports.





We get most of our from Nigeria, Venezuela, the Gulf States, Saudi Arabia and some of it even comes from here in the States.My brother claims the U.S. gets 40% of its crude oil from isreal does anyone know the facts?

The oil doesn't actually come from Israel. It is piped underground under Israeli owned or controlled land .And the percent is closer to 25% that passes through Israel.





Which is one of the reasons why the United States puts up with the BS coming out of that tiny little country. I don't have proof but I think we're afraid if we put too much pressure on Israel to reform they'll shut down the pipelines.
Israel has NO oil. and we get most of ours from Canada and Mexico.
they sell us not one drop of oil nor do they give us any.
No. We get most of from the Saudis
Sorry folks Bill is right again!


The other guy is talking about the Canadian refineries that the crude goes to before we get it here, that's the percentage.
It's true through the pipeline from Iraq and Afghanistan here are the links and the original deal with Bechtel Corporation.

No, he is wrong! We get none from Israel that I am aware of!





We get most of our oil from Canada. The Middle East is 3rd

MEXICO!!!











Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates) only provided 2,400 thousand barrels of oil per day (tbpd) or 23.80% of the 10,084 tbpd total imported. If you expand the list to include other Middle Eastern countries not located in the Persian Gulf (e.g., Algeria, Libya, Syria, etc.), the total goes up to a mere 2,648 tbpd or 26.26% of the total. Finally, if you expand the list to include all Muslim-majority countries around the world (e.g., Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, etc.), the quantity is 3,793 tbpd or 37.61% of the total. In other words, only a little over 1/3 of America's oil imports come from Muslim countries.
No, the top three suppliers of oil to the US are Canada, Mexico and Saudi Arabia.
Sorry, the American Public has been greatly misinformed for the past bazillion years...We get the great majority of our oil from CANADA!!!
