What kind of idiots fire missiles at people trying to bring them deliveries of much needed fuel? Apparently Palestinians do! Palestinian terrorists in Gaza fired five Kassam rockets at the western Negev on Tuesday morning as Israel began its first fuel delivery into the Strip since it imposed a blockade on the territory in response to the incessant rocket attacks.
One of the rockets hit a western Negev kibbutz, two landed at the entrance to Sderot and two hit open areas outside the town. No one was wounded and no damage was reported.Five Israeli tanker trucks parked at the Nahal Oz crossing on the Gaza border pumped 700,000 liters of fuel to the other side, enough to provide electricity to Gaza City for two days. Three more trucks delivered cooking gas, and a shipment of medicine was to be delivered later in the day.
In all, Israel has promised three fuel deliveries over three days, for a total of 2.2 million liters, enough to keep the power plant running for a week, said Kanan Obeid, head of Gaza’s energy authority.
And then we get headlines like this: Gazans face humanitarian catastrophe as life under Israeli siege deteriorates and 'The neoconservatives, a cabal of mostly Jewish intellectuals linked to Israel’s right-wing Likud, believe the United States should defend Israel at all costs.' and "It’s All Israel’s Fault."
Then there's this:
In what amounts to a breath of fresh air coming from an Arab point of view, an editor for Al-Arabiya, writing the in British Ashark Al-Aswat, is saying what is unthinkable among many in liberal and Islamist circles - HAMAS is responsible for the deepening humanitarian crisis in Gaza because they won’t stop the firing of rockets into Israel:

The Palestinians have been the social outcasts of Arab society for centuries and have scarcely the political, scientific or economic strengths on which to build a viable, self-sustaining nation. I'm very afraid they shall always be lead around by the nose by anyone who paints for them a vision of life that can only come true when they earn and command the respect of the world's civilized nations.

When the average Palestinian -- or Iraqi -- or Saudi -- or Iranian -- or Syrian -- finally comes to grips with the continually-demonstrated fact that a few radicals in their respective countries will do ANYTHING to spike a peaceful settlement -- including kill average Palestinians, Iraqis, Saudis, Iranias, Syrians, et al -- only then can the Islamofascists be put down and peace have a real opportunity to take hold.
I don't look for it in my life time. I mean, there are American voters who want Hillary, knowing full well that so do the terrorists, just not for all the same reasons. One group wants big government socialism; the other wants appeasement and retreat, signs we're ripe for further slaughter.
Oh well. One can still hope the US voters will wake up and prevent a terrorist victory at the polls in November. Meantime, kill all the Islamofascists we can, before the ACLU outlaws it via Hillary's judicial picks.

When these "Palestinians" finally do figure out what is going on, they're going to make peace with Israel, lynch Hamas, and then Saudi Arabia &c need to watch out.
It could be fun to watch.

Great post, Debbie. The Palestinians set themselves up once again for even their supporters to shake their heads in disbelief. Really, I think something is seriously wrong in the whole mental processes area.
Have linked to you on this.
