Gaza blackout is Hamas deception

Israel is NOT causing a blackout. Israel directly supplies 75% of Gaza’s electricity, sends fuel for 20% more, and the last 5% comes from that loyal Arab ally Egypt. It is the fuel that was cut off, reducing the electricity by only 20%. Hamas is faking the blackout.
No independent organizations confirm the Hamas’ claims. Israeli military sources report: Hamas is staging a crisis to drum up international intercession and mobilize the Palestinian Authority and Arab League to end the blockade of the Gaza Strip while continuing to shoot missiles at Israel.
When 6 Million Jews were being slaughtered, the world didn’t raise a pinky. When Arabs lose electric power or some gas deliveries–a humanitarian tragedy. 150 rocket slam Sderot in 4 days-who cares? Incovenience Gaza. Ohhh!!!
Israeli officials claimed Monday that the Gaza blackout was deliberately instigated by Hamas, in a bid to present the appearance of a humanitarian crisis.
According to the IDF, Israel was still providing 75 percent of Gaza’s electricity, while Egypt provided an additional 5%. Israel said that it was not interested in a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and would “act quickly” to prevent it.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Sunday night appealed to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, the Mideast Quartet and the Arab League to exert pressure on Israel to remove the blockade from the Gaza Strip and resume fuel supplies.

Hamas is employing the Koran santioned, taqiyya, lying to infidels. The MSM is all too eager to eat it up….
