The post read: "Chevron fuels the Zionist genocide machine and apartheid system, supplying 70% of the Zionist state's energy."

The images go on to say that Chevron 'operates and part-owns two gas fields off the coast of Palestine'.

Chevron has said it 'respects the right of people to express their views' but that it expects 'respect for employees and facilities'. 

In a statement, the company said: “Chevron respects the rights of people to express their views peacefully and lawfully, and we expect a similar level of respect for our employees and facilities.

"Chevron supports energy development efforts in the East Mediterranean. We believe our projects in the Eastern Mediterranean can continue to play a significant role in supplying much-needed energy within the region and globally. 

"As a global enterprise, Chevron learns from and respects the cultures in which we operate. Wherever we are present, we operate in compliance with all local laws and international standards. “
