Pigs are flying: A Gaza story that doesn’t mention Israel

I’m in shock.

The AP reported on Gaza power outages truthfully. There isn’t a single word blaming Israel for the Palestinian-caused shortage. Hamas and the PA are fighting over who has to pay for the fuel, and the poorer Gazans pay the price of their squabble. And this article absolutely does not blame Israel.

Engineers shut down Gaza City’s sole power plant on Saturday because of a lack of fuel, switching off electricity to some half a million people in the midst of a heat wave.

The fuel for the plant is supplied by the rival Palestinian government in the West Bank, which says it has reduced shipments because the Gaza’s Hamas government is behind on payments.

Okay, someone check to see if we somehow slipped into an alternate universe while we were sleeping. Did your sons turn into daughters? Are we in Bizarro World?

Yep. I’m in shock.

    As my daughter (aged 34) got up this morning dressed as Uhurah, that must be the answer. :)

    I am sure the AP will quickly follow up with an article blaming Israel for the poor Gaza economy in the first place, and that Israel is always responsible for all mid-east problems and should pay the fuel bill with a late payment penalty included!

    They can illustrate the “poor economy” in Gaza with pictures of that new mall.

    Has anyone ever discussed why the Gaza land is so densely populated, and why they are having so many children that they, and the land, cannot possibly support? Is it strictly because the UN facilitates their irresponsible behavior by providing extra stipends for their extra children? It seems to me that Gaza has become a home for those either on the UN permanent dole, or, those that receive “jobs” by being forced to join the Hamas terror group.
