It seems that the Moose-limbs are having problems with their homemade rockets. About 1/3 of them fail, sometimes spectacularly. In today's case, they launched one that failed and it fell on a hospital in Gaza, killing hundreds of people.
The Hamasians have very little regard for the people. If you know your rockets suck, at least fire them where your people aren't down range.
I do feel sorry for the Palestinians stuck in Gaza. Nobody wants them, and the ruling clique is actively killing them. Regardless of their politics, they are truly and royally fucked.
One other thing. I keep hearing about how terrible it is that they don't have food, fuel, electricity, or water. Hamas took over in 2006. In the intervening seventeen years, they haven't set up any electric generating capacity, or even dug water wells? Those people are truly hosed.
I think I'd be more sympathetic if they hadn't elected Hamas the second that Israel stopped preventing Hamas to run.
ReplyDeleteAnd we're getting blamed along with the Israelis...
ReplyDeleteThey brought this all on themselves.
ReplyDeleteI don't have the slightest bit of sympathy for them.
Even if they had built power plants, it takes fuel to run them. Gaza has no natural deposits of coal, oil or natural gas. It also has no natural harbors and their man-made harbor is more of a marina than a harbor as it cannot accommodate ships much larger than a school-bus.
ReplyDeleteRegarding water, wells don't work when the electric pumps have no electricity.
They are the future of any population that experiences population overshoot when surrounded by potentially hostile forces.
Regarding water, wells don't work when the electric pumps have no electricity.
ReplyDeleteThey have abundant sunshine. They can set up solar power stations to run their wells.
The EU spent millions installing many miles of water pipes for them. They dug them up and made Qassam rockets out of the pipe. They even posted videos of this on YT. So the EU went and spent more money and replaced the pipes. Lather rinse repeat.
ReplyDeleteGaza is one of the few places in the Middle East with natural fresh water springs. Those idiots drilled too many wells and sucked them dry, pulling in sewage from the outhouses uphill from the wells, a violation of Civilization Rule #1, going back thousands of years.
