Waahmbulance time: When your water pipes become rockets, it's Israel's fault there's no water

Since Hamas didn’t seem to be getting any sympathy at the moment in the “Look what Israel’s doing to our buildings!” quarter (I’m admittedly biased)…

…they’ve apparently decided to switch tacks. They’re gonna approach garnering succor and relief from a different HUMANITARIAN DISASTER outrage angle, and, accordingly, have gotten their media toadies and liberal sympathizers coordinated on the talking points.

Of course, glossing over the fact that the benign and helpless sounding “Gaza’s government” IS HAMAS helps to make the piteous appeal more palatable. Whipping up the resentment and moral indignation at Israel over their actions is facilitated by not tying terrorists who behead babies and rape young girls to the point of blood-soaked pants then kidnapping them to the “government” in a place now under Israeli retaliatory assault. Best to use a technically correct, neutral substitute appellation.

As if the one were, in fact, two separate entities. Do not allow it to stand if you see it.

HAMAS IS THE PALESTINIAN GOVERNMENT

As of this morning our time, Israel has laid down the #rulez. It’s the hostages or water and supplies – it’s up to you guys.

CHOOSE WISELY

As Hamas doesn’t give two craps about Palestinians and are only focused on annihilating Jews, they’re all in on a war of attrition. And if Gaza residents start falling like flies, victims of the combined effects of Israel retaliation and the deprivations caused by Hamas intransigence in settling what they started, well…think of the propaganda videos!

Holy smokes! These savages love nothing more than dead, wounded or starving Palestinian children to feature in their “WE’RE ISRAEL’S VICTIMS HERE” Jew-hate network offerings, and the more the better.

Shoot – they’ll even borrow OTHER COUNTRIES’ brutalized children for their PR campaign until they get enough weeping or bodybagged kids of their own.

Whose heart doesn’t bleed for the tiny guy? Oooh, these are calculated, vicious emotional manipulations, just like those damn Sarah McLaughlin Humane Society commercials. Hamas doesn’t give a rip about that little man or his sisters, except that he’s a useful tool. And if he survives, they have another deadly foot soldier to brainwash.

Like this water situation. Israel cuts the water off, right?

Well, that’s not exactly the whole story as it rarely is.

For one thing, Israel and other countries have been sending new water and sewer pipes for years in an attempt to repair and replace Gaza’s infrastructure, and relieve the squalorous conditions so many of the millions of inhabitants exist in. Bring the basic sanitation standards up for everyone in the Strip.

But a weird thing keeps happening on the way to the kitchen tap or toilet flushing – donated pipes turn into rockets.

If they need more, they simply dig up what’s underground. Digging is no big deal to these tunnel rats – it’s what they do. Trench out some pipes and voilà! You got yerself some more rockets.

They couldn’t resist making their own video about it, which also taunted a European Commission that had…

“…poured almost €100 million into pipeline projects into for territories controlled by the Islamist group over the last decade, a Telegraph analysis of the bloc’s foreign aid found.”

Money well spent, no?

The funny thing – in the macabre sense – is that Gaza, if properly administered by a government who cared about its people vice a terrorist organization, probably wouldn’t have needed most of that assistance.

Your “Beege interesting fact of the day”: Gaza actually has its own aquifer capable of meeting all of the Strip’s water needs. Unsurprisingly, Hamas has squandered it.

WHO has been providing water to Gaza all this time? Well, there’s a classic Hamas story.

…But Hamas, being a genocidal terrorist group and all, didn’t effectively manage Gaza’s private wells. The aquifer was polluted by overpumping and wastewater contamination. In addition, the water infrastructure in Gaza is outdated because the local authorities preferred to invest in rockets, mortars, explosives, a vast underground tunnel network for its fighters, and other expenses required of jihadist groups.

Who made up for the resulting water shortfall in Gaza while swimming pools at holiday villas were full?

Israel. Israel did.

The people of Gaza have been getting Israeli water. The payment for this water came last Saturday morning in the form of a massacre of over 1,000 people – children slaughtered in their beds, families gunned down, grandmothers taken hostage.

I anticipate that there won’t be much farming happening in Gaza in the near future and therefore the water needs of the population will drop.

Israeli water has been feeding, bathing, nourishing, quenching, and blessing Gaza for years.

Damn oppressive Jews, right?

That’s the thinking. Slaughter them anyway. Get enough of the terrorist surrogates to publicly weep for the destruction Hamas themselves brought on Palestinian children…

…and force Israel to back off under pressure.

The Hamas apologists and Israel haters are all the same, be they in Gaza, Congress or elsewhere.

And there are plenty enough in Congress, believe you me.

They don’t give two rips about their constituents. Their twisted propaganda and gaslighting’s worked every time, so…they’ll go with what they know.

I sense a change in the wind this go around, though.

If they just hadn’t made so damn many vile videos, they might have gotten away with it.

We can share and share alike.
