What is not clear from the article is whether any proper sewage disposal was left in place during the siege.

If they have modern plumbing, then when the Israelis cut off the water, they eliminated the ability to flush the toilets. This would have been intentional on the part of the IDF to make conditions inside so bad it would affect the terrorists morale.

Seems like some here are making an outrage out of a necessity. They seem to think all the Palis should walk out the front door and take a leak while dodging bullets from IDF snipers. I bet the Alamo or Khe Sang didnt smell any better at the end of the battle.

Dear Dave!

I just love your idea so much that I'm ready to forgive you all the bullshit you'd posted on this thread before.

Intelligent savages would have peed into buckets. Drains work even when the water is shut off, pal; you just tip the bucket and pour. I guess they didn't care about making things pleasanter for themselves during the seige. Or maybe they didn't find it unpleasant. Or maybe they just wanted to piss all over the inside of the church. I doubt if we'll ever get a straight answer.

But by the way, assuming they had toilets, really intelligent savages would have figured out that they could use buckets of urine to flush crap down the toilet, in the absence of running water. But I forgot--we're talking about the Palestinians.

I think it's a shame that no one is raising a hue and cry over the fact that the IDF didn't provide catered meals to the terrorists that were holed up in the church.
