No Fuel for Gaza

Israel has “blocked the shipment of fuel that powers” Gaza’s only electrical plant today. As a logical result, the plan has been shut down. The Jewish nation-state has decided to cut off fuel shipment to Gaza because Palestinian terrorists continue to fire dozens of rockets at Israel on a daily basis. As usual, the UN directed its anger at the true victims.

The UN decided that not the Palestinian terrorists but Israel is to blame for the literal darkness in Gaza. Israel, however, calmly responded by saying that the ones truly responsible are Hamas, Al Aqsa, et al.

As can be expected from the MSM, and especially the AP, journalists agree with the UN and “human rights organizations” (and I use these words loosely) that Israel’s the bad character in this story, but the fact of the matter is that if there’s anyone to blame, it’s the Palestinians.

They could’ve dealt with the terrorists among them years ago already, if only they were truly willing to do so. That there still are so many terrorists in ‘Palestine’ tells us all we need to know about the attitude of the average Palestinian towards terrorism.

They’re being punished because they deserve to be punished. If they don’t want to live without lights, perhaps they should force the terrorists out of their neighborhoods.

    The problem is that normally they are rewarded when they deserve to be punished. I don’t doubt that this will turn out the same.
