UN: Israel’s tightened security exacting heavy humanitarian toll

The Unbelievable Nincompoops came up with a scoop: it appears that security measures interfere with normal day-to-day life of people. Wow, what a discovery!

“Israel’s tightening of security procedures has exacted a heavy humanitarian toll in the territories since the Palestinian parliamentary elections last month, according to a United Nations report obtained by Haaretz on Monday.”

So the report links the security measures with the Palestinian parliamentary elections. So far so good. But then comes an example of these barbarous security measures:

“Israel’s three-week closure of the Karni crossing, the primary artery used to transport commercial supplies to and from the Gaza Strip, resulted in an estimated loss of $10.5 million, the agency said.”

“The UN says the closure of Karni forced the Palestinians to shut down all Gaza Strip flour mills and, as a consequence, led to the depletion of wheat grain stocks.”

And what, pray, caused the closure of the above mentioned crossing? Was it because of the above mentioned elections really? Or, maybe, just maybe, because of these three “civilians” with Kalashnikovs and hand grenades that tried to shoot their way through that crossing just before the closure?

And some optimists say that there are limits to stupidity…

    All the time that Hamas and IJ bombed Karni, Erez and other crossing points to keep Palestinians from getting to work in Israel proper to keep the pawns tied to Hamas’ purse strings the UN said nothing.
    Israel had set up industrial areas at the crossing points so that Palestinians would have where to work and not far to travel but they were also shot up and bombed into closure and the UN said nothing.
    This just made sure that the pawns were kept dependent on Hamas and UNWRA and the UN maintained the farce of its importance.

    Of course there are limits to stupidity. Eventually, the idiots will succeed in their attempts to commit suicide.

    The only thing that we have to worry about, is to make sure that they don’t take us with them.
