You write, "... forcing Israel to either side with Hamas and provide Gaza electricity without payment or risk an outbreak of a greater humanitarian crisis". Nope. The other option is for Hamas, dripping in money, to use some of it to pay their bills

Extremist Palestinians have made sucke rs of their own people, and as well the "useful idiots" of the West like Rachel Corrie who are looking to find some purpose in life.

Note the above remarks--

Palestinian Authority attacks Hamas, calls Gaza 'the second Nakba'

The Palestinian Authority issued a statement on Wednesday, marking the tenth a===Hamas's rule over Gaza as "the second Nakba that struck our people."

The PA's statement continued by saying that Hamas has "turned the Gaza Strip into an intolerable hell."



























































The use of the phrase "Nakba" in a different context than that of Israel's War of Independence in 1948 is exceptional for any Arab organization, but particularly the PA.


Gaza's 2 million residents already get by with only four hours of electricity a day. In an effort to push his Hamas rivals out of power, Abbas says his West Bank government will stop paying Israel to provide electricity.



The PA statement comes as the humanitarian condition in Gaza continues to deteriorate and as PA President Mahmoud Abbas threatens to stop paying for Gaza's electricity, forcing Israel to either side with Hamas and provide Gaza electricity without payment or risk an outbreak of a greater humanitarian crisis.






"The municipalities controlled by Hamas in the Gaza Strip also burden the residents with the taxes they collect—taxes estimated at millions of dollars each month. This in addition to the suffering of the private sector and the construction, trade and industrial sectors as a result of these taxes," read the PA statement.

The PA also noted that Hamas has been looting the medical equipment and assistance transferred by the Palestinian Authority to hospitals in the Gaza Strip for use in private clinics belonging to the organization, which the civilian and military officials of the organization enjoy at the expense of the ordinary citizen in Gaza.." This is what tyhe Rachel Corries of the world have
accomplished--a stronger tyranny for the suffering Gazans.
