Three IDF soldiers killed in Gaza by Palestinians. Fuel shipments to Gaza, remain frozen.
Yet they continue to shoot missiles and rockets at us, and we finally shut off their fuel supply.
Have no fear, Israel can flip-flop faster than you can say "Israel deserves a better Prime Minister than Ehud Olmert."

Israel resumes fuel supply to Gaza...
Three IDF soldiers killed in Gaza by Palestinians. Fuel shipments to Gaza, remain frozen.
Israel says it has frozen plans to renew the fuel supply to the Gaza Strip on Wednesday because of an attack in which three soldiers were killed. Army spokeswoman Maj. Avital Leibowich says the soldiers were killed Wednesday morning in a battle with Palestinian gunmen who were approaching the terminal where fuel is sent into Gaza.Oh no! We can't possible stop the fuel supply to Gaza! The Disengagement's promise was that we wouldn't have to provide anything to Gaza anymore. Not fuel, not electricity, not food, nothing.
Leibowich says the attack prompted Israel to cancel plans to resume fuel shipments. Israel cut off the flow of fuel to the Palestinian territory last week after Gaza militants killed two Israelis in an attack on the fuel terminal. (AP)

Israel resumes fuel supply to Gaza...
Despite bloody clashes between IDF troops, Palestinian gunmen earlier on Wednesday, Israel renews supply of fuel, cooking oil to Strip.
Mahmoud Khuzandar, deputy director of the Gaza fuel station owners' association, says a total of eight truckloads of fuel have been pumped into Gaza. He says half was cooking oil and the other half was diesel fuel for Gaza's only power plant.An Israeli defense official says Israel sent only fuel for the power plant.
Israel cut off the flow of fuel to the Palestinian territory last week after Gaza militants killed two Israelis in an attack on the Nahal Oz fuel terminal, but on Monday Defense Minister Ehud Barak, at Egypt's request, ordered the renewal of diesel shipments to Gaza's power station.
The Israeli military said earlier in the day the terminal would not be reopened because of a Palestinian ambush nearby that left three soldiers dead. It was unclear why the decision was reversed.
The soldiers were killed Wednesday morning in a battle with Palestinian gunmen who were approaching the security fence in an apparent attempt to infiltrate Israel. (YNET/AP)
Don't worry - Ehud Olmert and Ehud Barak have it all under control.

Of course we have to supply them with fuel. How could they continue their resistance to Zionist oppression without electricity and gasoline?
ReplyDeleteI guess you could say the government is constantly waffling back and forth...
ReplyDeleteIt would be funny if it weren't so sad...
"Israel deserves a better Prime Minister than Ehud Olmert."
ReplyDeleteI'm not so sure about that.
The so-called palestinians chose to elect hamas and they deserve what they got for it.
"Israel" chose to elect olmert and lets him remain in power, they deserve what they get.
the only ones who "deserve" better are the "far-right" nationalist - settler camp.
(and the others who actively who actively oppose olmert et el. e.g. the chabadnikim)
