The Gaza Strip is rapidly running out of cooking gas and diesel fuel for hospital generators will only last another 7-10 days, officials said Sunday, after Palestinian protesters destroyed the fuel terminal at the territory’s only cargo crossing.

In Friday night’s attack, a large crowd broke into the Palestinian side of the Kerem Shalom crossing between Gaza and Israel, badly damaging a fuel and gas terminal and a conveyor belt for aggregate and animal feed.

Israel closed Kerem Shalom, saying it would take weeks or months to repair several million dollars in damages. It was not clear when the delivery of consumer goods by trucks would resume, said an army spokesman, Lt. Col. Jonathan Conricus, adding that six trucks with medical supplies entered Gaza on Sunday.

There has been widespread speculation about the motives for the vandalism, with Israel holding Gaza’s rulers from the Islamic militant Hamas group responsible. Friday’s attack was the second on Kerem Shalom in a week, raising questions about why Hamas did not try to protect a key installation.

Hamas, which has a tight grip on Gaza, has not commented publicly. …

Israel supplies their electricity and water needs for free, and still these hateful bastards are still not happy. Hatred of the jews is their only goal—such is the legacy of the antichrist epileptic “prophet” named Mahomet.

They have leaders who think this is a good idea, the way to wipe Israel off the map. And several generations of UNWRA educated fools who follow them.

Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Let’s be fair. They needed the fuel for the firebombs they were attaching to kites and helium balloons. If they didn’t get more fuel, they won’t be able to cook or run cars and trucks, and then they’ll starve. So Israel is starving them by not letting them make more firebombs.

Notices Palestinians said the movement of the embassy ended the chance for peace negotiations. Trouble is Palastinians never were willing to negotiate for peace. Once Israel offered Arafat everything the Palastinians requested. The Palastinians said no. They do not want peace!

Ok Palestinians, time to hurt Israel by destroying their water and power lines to Gaze. Welcome to the dark smelly ages.

Jerusalem needs to remove the Gaza problem once and for all.
Yes, send them home to Egypt and Arabia where they came from.
Yes, Egypt and Arabia don’t want them anymore (who would!?) but they’ve gotta go...
(or just kill them the next time they attack, and be done with it)

You got it exactly right!

With the Fake Nooz Media these worm-brained monkeys can do no wrong, and Israel can do nothing right.

Hey, maybe if it works here, Israel should shut off utilities to the West Bank.

Let them flee to the concentration camps in Jordan.

Then comes the big job of moving the wall.

***Palestinian protesters destroyed the fuel terminal at the territory’s only cargo crossing.****

As my kids used to say when they tore up something...”SEE what YOU made me Do!”

It didn’t work with me.
