Expect a lot of suicide bombings in banks holding PA debt.
Most Palestinians don't pay their bills and the PA doesn't pay IEC. The bottom line is that IEC, in effect, supplies power for free, though this power - including fuel, equipment, manpower and services - is unquestionably expensive. At this juncture, the PA's debt to IEC alone is a whopping NIS 220 million - the highest ever.This is unbelievable. And unsustainable. And really depressing.
Israel has made this known, but MSM's agenda stopped the reporting.
Where everything including the logic is "ass on top".
The left has been a long time master of this technique in its battle with freedom.
What I do not understand, is why the PA demands tax rebates from Israel, when it is not a State, it is residing inside Israel. Once it is a State they would have perhaps have some reason to demand that they are free from Israel taxes inside their area, but to demand that they are free now, and not only that but demand that they pay NO Israeli taxes is unrealistic.
For example, they drive on Israeli roads, and should have to pay gasoline tax like everyone else when they buy gas at Israeli gas pumps. They presently demand a percentage of the taxes Israel collects at gas pumps in Israel, and demand to pay no taxes on gasoline sold in Palestine.
This is a perfect example of the heads I win tails you loose Muslim politics.
It is silly, Israel pays Israel with Israeli money and says the Palestinians have now paid for their gas, water, electric and phones.
Stupid. REAL Stupid.
Politicians do not care how they screw things up and screw their people over, as long as they get to hold the wallet.
They have billions in a Swiss bank under the name of Mrs. Araphat. Just get that back and they are all set.
I propose that Israel should take all the taxes and duties it collects for the Palestinians, buy bombs and missiles with it, and deliver it toute-suite to PA/Hamas headquarters via "air mail." Every Pallie government building is now a legitimate target for destruction.
I certainly hope that the US cuts Hamas off from every dime, and that we can lean on the Europeans to do the same.

They'll seize the PA tax money pay the PA electrical bills, etc. but then what? The only way the Israeli's will have a legitimate reason to hold onto the money is if Hamas Does Not Recognize their right to exist (and they won't). The way I see it Israel is helping Hamas buy time to make the right decision.
Hey Hamas......it must be a b!tch to govern. Go ask the Taliban.
This doesn't even scratch the surface of the total absurdity that is the so called Palestinian problem.
History has been rewritten and the position of true victims reversed and a oppressed people created out of smoke and mirrors.
Those of us who have been watching this for the last forty or fifty years are truly stunned at the power of a good propaganda campaign.
It is the same with the water, food medical care housing Israel has once before and is being asked to again to supply them with the arms they need to kill them with.
Why don't people understand this whole thing with the refugees [Palestinians] was created not by Israel but but the Arabs and has been used as a propaganda weapon against Israel since 1948.
These Arabs do not have a government, they have never been self supporting but have existed totally on welfare of which this tiny speech of people get many times more dollars of aid from the world than any other country yet live in squalor.
Their government has never produced a single penny of money on their own nor will they, they are a propaganda tool a psychological weapon that is kept in existence by welfare of the western nations to appease the Arabs and hopefully keep the oil flowing.
