Gaza Diary: Sewage on our doorstep

Left to their own devices, the terrorist will kill themselves!

[Snickersnee]

Note last sentence — “It’s the Joooooooos!”

[bert]

Gaza is truly a crappy place

Crappy people make a crappy place

[Iron Munro]

If the Jooos don’t take better care of them their job performance will suffer and they won’t be able to kill as many Jooos.

Soon to be a topic of discussion at the UN.

[ricks_place]

I did see that Jews were blamed but I could not locate the sewer line from a Jewish settlement to Gaza! Hamas sends rockets into Israel while awash in $hit!

[TheBlueMax]

Somebody call the “Whambulance”!

[Navy Patriot]

Hey Manal,

A generous application of napalm will sterilize the place and kill off all the vermin. Give it a try.

[ZOOKER]

Okay, one more time:

Gaza has MORE THAN ONE border. The Egyptians could have supplied all of the Gazans' needs, had they been inclined to do so.

Furthermore, Gaza has a functioning seaport. Pumps, fuel, or generator parts are only days away by ship.

The Israelis are not denying them stuff, only denying them FREE stuff.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

Metal can be used for rocket parts as well as pumps. As long as the metal that goes through a checkpoint comes back into Israel in the form of a rocket I wouldn’t let anything through the border.

[do not press 2 for spanish]

Gaza, palestinians, muslims, islamists = untermensch/sewage/garbage/crap/junk/sh!t. They should feel right at home.

What’s the complaint? Oh, I forgot: it’s the Jooooooos!

[hiredhand]

Gaza is an amazing place. They hate Israel with a passion, and yet at the same time, depend on them. When Israel finally has enough of their hostilities and they shut down a checkpoint, and Gazans have to wallow in their own sewage, one would "think" that it would bring a willingness to possibly come to some "agreeable" resolution. But no....Oxfam reports it to Al-Jazeera, who in turn spew their anti-semitic rhetoric.

But in spite of Oxfam, and Al-Jazeera, and after it's all said and done, Gazans are still wallowing in their own poop, and the Israelis still control movement into, and out of Gaza. :-)

[hiredhand]

I was going to say...I was JUST looking at a map of the place and they’ve got several miles of border with the Mediteranean Sea!

[anglian]

Israeli metal used for Kassam rockets Mar 4, 2007 Amar Azk, 37 [a metal merchant at the Karni crossing] was arrested Feruary 9, During his interrogation, he confessed selling the pipes to Hamas and other terrorist organizations that manufactured Kassam rockets, fired almost daily at Israel. The pipes that were sold to Zak were intended for the construction of a sewage system in Gaza. http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1171894568749&pagename=JPost/JPArticle/ShowFull

What disgusts me is that this could all have been prevented had the Israelis opened one checkpoint to allow the spare parts and fuel through.

And what disgusts me is the Israeli's lack of imagination. I'd suggest they use thousands of short range rockets to deliver the spare parts and fuel that the Gazans need.

[SIDENET]

we previously had no other option but to dump our untreated sewage in water wells.

Pardon the pun, but WHAT A LOAD OF CRAP.

You never have to dump sewage down a water well.

[theBuckwheat]

This is like the Left blaming the US trade embargo for Cuba’s economic misery. Cuba trades freely with many nations. Likewise Gaza seems to have an open access to the Mediterranean does it not?

[Kirkwood]

So now they are like pigs wallowing in their own filth.

[Bedford Forrest]

We were pleased to hear of this development as we previously had no other option but to dump our untreated sewage in water wells.

This is so insane it must be hidden somewhere in sharia law or in the koran. Methinks I'll look it up, perhaps when the long awaited Charmin edition comes out, but only if it's four ply.

[utherdoul]

Well their lucky I’m not in charge. They’d be getting plenty of rockets and napalm rather than check points. That’s a bit more uncomfortable than sewage.

[Walkingfeather]

Man that is just.... an amazing response.
