Gaza Needs Help

Hundreds of thousands of Gaza residents were forced to make do without electricity Monday as the coastal strip's power supply became the latest victim of feuding between Gaza's Hamas rulers and their Fatah rivals.
European donors stopped paying key electricity aid over the weekend, concerned that Hamas is siphoning off revenues. As Fatah and Hamas traded charges of corruption, at least half of Gaza's 1.4 million people were plunged into darkness.

No problem. We can always continue turning Gaza into a parking lot and then cut it all off again. It will get worse for the land thieves than it is now:

In the meantime, my air conditioning is on and I'm enjoying the summer with bar-b-ques and the pool- not to mention the beautiful summer fruits that I have growing in my yard.
