State Dept Criticizes Israeli Strike on Power Plant: ‘Deeply Troubled By Humanitarian Impact’
Free Beacon ^ | 7/19/14 | Washington Free Beacon Staff

Posted on 07/29/2014 5:59:15 PM PDT by Nachum

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said her department was “deeply troubled” by Israel’s strike on a Gaza power plant, continuing an ongoing trend of Kerry’s State Department obliquely criticizing Israel’s actions.

“We’re deeply troubled by the humanitarian impact of reduced electricity in Gaza,” Psaki told reporters, “particularly for emergency services, and urge all parties to respect the civilian nature of these facilities.”

If you like your power plant, you can keep your power plant.

Right?

“We’re deeply troubled by the humanitarian impact of reduced water in Detroit,” Psaki told reporters, “particularly for emergency services, and urge all parties to respect the civilian nature of these facilities.”

Hamas is behind in their bills too.

Is this the State Dept that gave al Qaeda MANPADs
at Benghazi AND LIED TO CONGRESS?

or is this the State Dept that supports the financier
of the Munich Atrocity?

or the State Dept that prays at the murderer of
Mr.Klinghoffer each morning?

or the one that paid for the UN-Obama rocket tubes in Gaza?

Israel is draining the swamp. POTUS, Lurch, and Pisstaki are irrelevant.

I’m deeply troubled that our government isn’t supporting Israel’s right to defend itself.

Don’t fire missles at Israel. Don’t dig tunnels under their border and they won’t blast your power plant.

(Unless of course you make death threats and your plant us nuclear.)

Don’t shoot missiles from the power plant and it won’t get bombed. Mooselimbs are idiots.

What, they should have beheaded a few hundred people in the street instead like ISIS has?

Did Kerry or Obama ever say anything when all those rockets were being fired at civilians in Israel?

Ever?

Shut off the electric, water, gas, telephones, and oil.

Its called disabling command and control.

“Hamas is behind in their bills too.”

Yep. And the plant only supplies 20 percent of their electricity. Israel supplies the rest.

They reduced the carbon footprint of Gaza.
That’s a good thing, right?

I don’t get it —is power consumption good, or is it BAD?

Isn’t it BAD?

It seems the IDF has enriched Gazans by liberating them from oppressive electricity.

Seems to me the gazans were unjustifiably enriched —payment (or at least thanks) is in order.

Don’t know if it has been determined the power plant bomb was from Israel; could just as well been a hamas rocket turning into a boomerang. Or, deliberate by hamas for the sympathy it brings.

There was no electric power in the time of Mo’-Ham-Mad. It is therefore haram (like AK-47’s).
