State Dept Criticizes Israeli Strike on Power Plant: ‘Deeply Troubled By Humanitarian Impact’
Free Beacon ^ | 7/19/14 | Washington Free Beacon Staff

Posted on 07/29/2014 5:59:15 PM PDT by Nachum

State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki said her department was “deeply troubled” by Israel’s strike on a Gaza power plant, continuing an ongoing trend of Kerry’s State Department obliquely criticizing Israel’s actions.

“We’re deeply troubled by the humanitarian impact of reduced electricity in Gaza,” Psaki told reporters, “particularly for emergency services, and urge all parties to respect the civilian nature of these facilities.”

A blowed up power plant is going to cause Hamas some difficult days . . . SO FRICKIN’ WHAT!

How much pain are they trying to inflict on the tiny country of Israel?

Humanitarian concerns didn’t stop Clinton and NATO from bombing Serbian infrastructure in support of Muslims so too bad for the Muzzies this time around. Kerry supported bombing Christians and again the Dems are coming to save the terrorists.

Humanitarian pain and intense suffering is the only way to rid Gaza of Hamas.

Sooo, the start of Hamas' indiscriminate rocketing of Israel was okay since no power plants were hit.

Don’t dig tunnels under their border and they won’t blast your power plant.

Knocking out the power plant is a clever way to turn off the lights in the tunnels. Now the tunnels can be relit with jellied gasoline.

I’ve seen videos of the tunnel rats making their tunnels.....with handheld power tools. Cut off the power and tunnel progress goes to a snail’s pace

Damn the Leftist Bureaucracy of this Nation. The Left has put in place, built nests for their rats to occupy throughout our government. They sandbag everything commonsense, and manipulate until they achieve the goals of their source of power which of course is the Democrat Party. The party mascot IS appropriate but should be flippin’ the wee birdie to the direction of it’s right side to be truly authentic.

The only way to get back this country is to wipe out the nests throughout the Executive Branch the Democrats have been allowed to build, and fill to the brim, and beyond with those they so generously payoff with our money.

We need to take the entire three branches with representation unlike that which we have today, and kick butt.

Paski, Skerry, et al should be thankful to Israel for taking out the Hamas power plant. Just think, that power plant is no longer spewing evil CO2 into the air over Gaza. This means we’ll soon see an easing in Globul Warming in Gaza. May Allah be praised!

What a typical pile of Obama lies!

The Hamasimians launched a rocket which destroyed a power line supplying the Palisimians. This uniquely brilliant example of Hamasimian tactics occurred several days ago.

If Hamasimians don’t care if the Palisimians are in the dark why should anyone else?
