Jooos stop giving Paloes gas.
2006-05-10
RAMALLAH, West Bank - The Israeli company that provides fuel to the Palestinian areas is cutting off supplies due to growing debts, Israeli and Palestinian officials said Wednesday, a move that could deepen a humanitarian crisis in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Faster, please.
The head of the Palestinian petrol commission, Mujahid Salame, said he expected gasoline supplies to run out by Thursday. "If this happens, there will be a humanitarian crisis," he said.
Thursday you say? Might be something on the tube worth watching this weekend after all.
He said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas was in touch with American and European diplomats in hopes of pressuring Israel to ensure the flow of fuel to the Palestinian areas.
Dor Energy has been the sole provider of gasoline to the Palestinian areas since interim peace agreements were signed in the mid-1990s. Company officials declined comment.
Salame said the Palestinians owe about $26 million to Dor, but he accused the company of taking a political decision aimed at punishing the Hamas-led Palestinian government.
This is more of that cause and effect you Paleos don't understand because you're born losers. Losers.

#13  Turn the gas back on, but give an absolute date for ending it along with water and electricity. 18 months? Time to end the dependency.

#11  Don't cut off electricity, just deliver at significantly reduced voltages and burn out all the motors in the Paleo Boom shops.

#10  I betcha Hamas cuts gas to ambulances before they cut gas to Hamas leaders vehicles.

I also betcha Israel gives in. But that they extract SOME concessions from the EU first.

#8  Cutting the power does sound like a great idea, and one that I would certainly like to see tried.
If it is a Israeli Gov't run power company it might cause more negetive press than they are willing to except. If it is a privately run company it may be the perfect move.

#7  Any efforts to stop an economic crisis among the Paleos is an effort to sustain their war. Only when they *must* mind their own business, will they. If that means mind their own business, or starve, I think that is a reasonable option.

Hate does not fill your belly. Give it up.

#6  Can't happen. Steam power requires a level of competence far boyond that of the paloes. In other words, steam is not a no-brainer and is therefore beyond paleo ability. Would like to see them try to build a steam powered anti-jooo rocket though.

#5  Yeah, but when will they cut electricity? Let them build qassam rockets using steam.

#3  Asaf Shariv, a top Olmert aide, said Israel would not pay the debt with tax revenues it collects for the Palestinian Authority, but has been holding in escrow since the Hamas-dominated parliament was sworn in three months ago. link
