Sham Energy Crisis In Gaza Strip Deepens
Egypt stops smuggling of fuel into Gazoo Strip resulting in semi-shutdown of Gazoo power station. Paleostinians refuse Israeli oil deal offerGazoo is suffering a major energy crisis. Since Tuesday and in the midst of plummeting temperatures Gazoo's power station has been operating for only several hours a day, as locals are subjected to power cuts lasting as many as 12 hours a day. Israel has recently approached bigwigs in the Paleostinian Authority offering to sell the PA enough diesel oil to keep the power plant operating, but the Paleostinians are refusing, Ynet learned. The Gazoo Strip is entirely dependant on the oil-fired power station. Egypt has recently closed smuggling tunnels through which fuel was smuggled into the Strip. Until 2010, the Paleostinian Authority purchased diesel oil from Israel through a deal with Dor Alon paid for by the European Union ...the successor to the Holy Roman Empire, only without the Hapsburgs and the nifty uniforms and the dancing... . Ramallah and Gazoo began fighting on energy supply after Europe stopped its funding of the deal. Paleostinian sources are pointing to three explanations for the cessation of fuel supply: Recent attacks by Bedouin tribes and terror cells against Egyptian elements; Egypt's desire to increase profits on fuel; and an attempt by Cairo to signal to Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, to accept the ineffectual Mahmoud Abbas ... a graduate of the prestigious unaccredited Patrice Lumumba University in Moscow with a doctorate in Holocaust Denial... as head of the provisional Paleostinian government. They explained that Cairo knew what points in Gazoo to pressure when dissatisfied with Hamas' conduct. Meanwhile, ...back at the precinct house, Sergeant Maloney wasn't buying it. It was just too pat. It smelled phony... reports suggesting that the energy crisis is a sham are starting to surface in Gazoo. Khalil Abu Shamala, director of the Addameer Center for Human Rights said that Gazoo has enough diesel oil to operate the power station and that a large amount of fuel was transferred into the Strip earlier this week. Gazoo's energy authority denied the claims. Posted by: trailing wife 2012-02-19 |
