Are you sure the EU did this? I remain skeptical. I think it is more a stray rat stumbling into the relay switches then the EU finding a spine.

They're already blaming the Jooos for this. I can't find the Kos entry for it (or was it somewhere else), and I won't bother looking, but they've already blamed Israel. The daytime will be hell though. I remember this kind of s*** when I lived in Chennai years ago. During the summer it was the worst.

They will resume payments once the recieve assurances that the money will go for electricity?
Alright I will give it to them "All of money you send are be going to only light and stuff not bombs to be killing Jews. OK? You are be handing over money now"
That should do it

They've been living in the Dark Ages for centuries, so they'll adapt.

“We are ready to resume our support to the Gaza power plant within hours once we receive the appropriate assurances that all the funds will be exclusively used for the benefit of the Gaza population,” the European Commission — the EU’s executive branch — said in a statement

If that's the standard, I'm shocked hamas hasn't lied adequately enough.

Now if we could only get Israel to cut the water.

re: #20 insanity police

Aiwa.

So, the EU does this and no one bats an eye. If Israel did this, the world - including and especially the EU - would howl and bark loudly over the inhumane treatment.

The sad fact remains that Hamas was, is, and will continue to be a terrorist group first and foremost, and the sooner the diplomats recognize this, be better it will be for all involved - including the Palestinians who are stuck living under the heel of Hamas.

The darkness of their homes now matches the darkness of their hearts.

So, let them go solar.

What will the kids do without their morning propaganda shows? Think of the kids!

We are ready to resume our support to the Gaza power plant within hours once we receive the appropriate assurances that all the funds will be exclusively used for the benefit of the Gaza population,...

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

The phrase "benefit of the Gaza population" is heard by the Palis as "kill the Jews."

Are they using eco-friendly lighting like the rest of the carbon credit clowns?

Appeasement Finds a Home in the Academy

Instead of providing moral clarity in a time of war, too many academics busy themselves inventing strategies to get along peaceably with genocidal terrorist groups and the governments that aid and abet them. Among the appeasers, three professors of Middle East studies stand out: the University of Minnesota's William O. Beeman; Boston University's Augustus Richard Norton; and Harvard University's Sara Roy.

William O. Beeman, professor and chair of the department of anthropology at the University of Minnesota, as well as president of the Middle East section of the American Anthropological Association, apparently thinks the bloody, belligerent Iranian regime can be placated by politeness. In a recent article (scroll down), Beeman counseled the U.S. to negotiate with Iran using "language" that is "unfailingly polite and humble."

With crap like this going on, we have got to wake up and stop saying that the palestinians deserve a state.

Can you imagine how obvious and "in your face" this must have been to get them to take action? Dear Lord, they must have signed the checks over to the Iranians and written "weapons" in the memo line.

Maybe Hanoul can go to door to door and spread hatred that way?

Armed bandits in southeast Iran stopped a bus with gunfire on Sunday and took as many as 31 Iranians as hostages, the Iran's semi-official Fars news agency reported.

The bus was moving on the road between the coastal port of Chahrbahar and the town of Iranshahr farther inland in the southeast province of Sistan-Baluchestan, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, said the report.

"They took 31 passengers, including an education ministry official, the gunmen then also attacked a number of passing cars, set them on fire," it added.

According to the local ISNA news agency, "the bandits shot at the vehicle and stopped it, 30 people were kidnapped, some other people in passing cars were also wounded during the gunfire."

However, the official IRNA news agency reported earlier in the day that only two people were taken as hostages, but adding the details were still unclear.

The state television report said that the abducted hostages had been transported across the border into Pakistan.

Southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan province and its nearby province of Kerman have been hit by a string of attacks and kidnappings in the past years, which the Iranian authorities blamed on a Sunni group called Jundallah.

Last Sunday, two Belgian tourists were kidnapped by bandits while visiting the historic sites near the ancient city of Bam in Kerman. The female one was soon released, but the man was still believed to be held.

Gaza suffers more power cuts after EU freezes funding

by Sakher Abu El Oun Sun Aug 19, 2:32 PM ET

GAZA CITY (AFP) - Parts of the Gaza Strip were still suffering blackouts on Sunday after the European Union suspended the financing of fuel deliveries for the impoverished territory's only power plant.

It was the latest blow to hit one of the world's most overcrowded places that has been effectively sealed off by Israel since the Islamist movement Hamas seized control two months ago, sparking fears of a humanitarian crisis.

The Islamists and the Western-backed government in Ramallah accused each other of being responsible for the "criminal" cuts and called on Gazans to come out on to the streets in protest.

If you can't trust a gang of kleptocratic bloodthirsty thugs your own elected representatives, who can you trust?

Silly moonbat's whining...

Environmentalists have taken their climate change battle to the front door of one of the world's largest oil companies. Campaigners completed their week-long protests by supergluing themselves to the gates of BP's headquarters in London.

It was the latest blow to hit one of the world's most overcrowded places that has been effectively sealed off by Israel since the Islamist movement Hamas seized control two months ago, sparking fears of a humanitarian crisis.

Regardless of how it happened, many will blame Israel, and the EU will do the same. (as for Israel: no good deed goes unpunished)

Guns or sewage treatment? Explosives or electricity? Livin' la vida gaza.

The gazans really got the government they voted for.

re: #76 Thanos

Very interesting indeed.

The EU is just worried that some palis might hide from the jews in a substation and get electrocuted, you know.. like in France.

“We are ready to resume our support to the Gaza power plant within hours once we receive the appropriate assurances that all the funds will be exclusively used for the benefit of the Gaza population,” the European Commission — the EU’s executive branch — said in a statement.

MEMORANDUM

To: European Commission Infidel Dogs Friends
From: Peaceful Hamas Activists.

We hereby confirm that all future electricity revenues will be used exclusively for the benefit of the people of Gaza, by providing their security forces with more weapons with which to kill the hated Jews. Please resume our payments immediately. You've got a nice continent there, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

MEMORANDUM

To: Duly Elected Hamas Officeholders

From: European Commission

With regard to your Memorandum dated [___], 2007, we make note of the following:

1) Please don't hurt us.
2) We hate Jews, too!
3) Your payment stream has of course resumed. Deposits are being made in your numbered account at SwissJudenReinBank, Geneva.

let Iran pay thier electric bills, they pay for everything else.

So they have succeded in taking their peoples back to the Dark Ages. Literally.

According to THIS STORY it's not just money that's been disappearing, the actual fuel reserves are disappearing, and the thought is they are using the fuel meant for electricity to fuel rockets they are building.

WHAT , the generator of Gaza's electricity isn't the Gazans themselves?
Don't Gazan generators trust their Muslim brothers to settle their bills ?
Surely the 'pig Jews' don't give them electricity as well ?

If HAMAS cant keep the power on, then they should admit failure, face reality and withdraw... oh wait that only applies to the US Army.

re: #77 karmic_inquisitor

Such crap. A lot of that demographic bullshit has been debunked. Gaza is apparently less OVERCROWDED than Monaco if I recall correctly.

Why the bleepity bleep is the EU paying for Gaza fuel at all?
Furthermore, if the EU is giving Gaza $ to buy generator fuel, is that really "electricity revenues"? Isn't it more aptly named foreign aid revenues?

Why don't the saudis just give em some fuel?

P.S. Please send funds soon. Many targets are slipping by. The lights are going off.

Do those arabs ever do a reality check?

So they got Gaza. And, turned it into gazoo.

While up in Lebanon, the one camp of 12, that houses palestinian "refugees" (for 60 years). Only because the Lebanese don't want to give this trash citizenship; erupted. It was supposed to take down Siniora's government.

I've been thinking that the "not too adept fighting skills of the Lebanese Army," have in fact been put to good use. No other palestinian camp erupted. Many of the 40,000 at the one camp that did, ran to the other camps, where in crowded quarters, they got relatives to "put them up."

Ya know, I know a few good mother-in-law jokes. One includes the man who went to the rabbi, to complain. Only to have the rabbi telling him to add all the farm animals into his house. Surprise. Surprise. Things got worse. Till the man, at his wit's end, was told by the rabbi, he could "remove" the chickens, and goats, from his abode. Relief came next.

For the fake-istanians, you'd think the truth would be at least knocking on their doors? The Iraqis brutally chased about 50,000 of them out of their country. Had been imported by Saddam. They're no longer there, anymore.

So, you have all these fleeing rascals.

And, gazoo is going to hell.

And, nobody notices? You mean as long as some of this scum gets money, nobody notices? Thriving is not the word you'd use to describe these people. True. You wouldn't use it in Darfur, either.

But how the heck can anything improve if all the sunnis have are despotic leaders? From Egypt. To Jordan. And, stuck on their asses in Lebanon, too.

I know anti-Semitism comes easy to them. What's gone unnoticed, however, is how Israelis NO LONGER EVEN WANT TERRITORY if lots of arabs live there. Because these idiots can't improve. The stock is damaged.

And, in Lebanon? Well, if they didn't have Marijuana, and its derivative, Hash-hish, to sell to the world, their economy would totally collapse.

And, you thought it was politics?

You'd be surprised what the driving forces are.

So the EU has all of this money sitting around- can I get some tuition money for my kids? I can guarantee that none of the money I get will go to Hamas or Fatah.

The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia

Oh Darn! They're going to miss reruns of Jaanai Loves Choppy.

These Gazaians and the West Bankians have received millions (literally) of dollars of YOUR tax dollars over the years via US AID. Just search their budget (have linked it a couple of times on other threads). It has been designated for the building and repair of infrastructure - serious money for serious projects seriously wasted. Sitting in Swiss bank accounts for the few top guys and Arafat's wife. What isn't in those accounts has been spent on weapons (which are frequently fired into the air to celebrate really important events like 9/11, weddings, car swarms) finance bus bombs, payoffs to homicide bomber families, etc. None spent for the purposes intended as evidenced by the less than 3rd world conditions in Gaza. There should be more than enough water treatment facilities, refineries, schools, house, etc. to go around. There is no reason that these people should be in the pathetic place they are. Your money and my money has been stolen after being given away by our government to fund your basic criminal activities. Now, lets throw in all of the other peoples' money including money funnelled through our State Dept. and other agencies and the EU and who knows what else. This is just plain wrong. We are just f*cking stupid. THere is no way this is making sense. Are we supposed to be feeling guilty? Send more money? Arrrggghhh!
