Palestinian Authority 'stops paying Israel for Gaza electricity'
BBC ^ | 27 April 2017

Posted on 04/27/2017 10:00:23 PM PDT by Lera

The West Bank-based Palestinian Authority has told Israel that it will stop paying for electricity supplied to the Gaza Strip, Israeli officials say.

There was no confirmation from the PA. But President Mahmoud Abbas has threatened "unprecedented steps" to end the political division with the rival Hamas movement, which dominates Gaza.

Hamas called Thursday's move "a grave escalation and an act of madness".

Just like here, but on a larger scale.

Lawlessness.

Maybe a 9th Circuit Judge can tell Israel to give it free.

They are gonna stop paying? But let me guess, they expect the power to stay on.

Looks like the koranimals are all to stupid to figure out which end of the transmission line has the "off" switch?

Why is that a surprise??

Reminds me of an episode of Sanford and Son. Fred had it out with the phone company about paying his bill. He was on the phone and threatening them, daring them to cut his service off:

"You just come here, I'll stick my foot in your... hello??"

Of course they do, and the majority of dip wads in the world, will be outraged, when the Israelis cut it off. What asshats.

Then Israel should stop supplying them with electricity; simple rules work best...pay what you want to get, or you won’t get it.

You can count of the jerks of the world to scream at Israel for not providing them with free power.
The world has given these cutthroats billions of dollars and they can’t even get their stuff together to produce their own power. Rockets and tunnels don’t keep the lights on.

It appears that the PA, which is not friendly with Hamas, is trying to get an problem to occur between Hamas and Israel.

Well, Muhammad didn’t have electricity 1400 years ago...So muzzies shouldn’t want to have anything to do with it now.

Hamas already has problems with Israel... this is a power play by Abbas... he sees it as a win-win, squeeze Hamas and blame it on the Jews. He is trying to extract something from Hamas (who rule Gaza)... power in some form or another, I’m just not familiar enough with politics there to know what his endgame is (other than the destruction of Israel, of course).

It is probably a blasphemous throat slitting offence for Muslims to use artificial lighting after Allah has commanded the sun to set behind the sand dunes. But I’m not an Islamic scholar, so not sure.

I seem to recall from back in the rocketing incident that Gaza has an electric plant, but there’s reliability and capability issues. Fuel might also be an issue.

Hamas ran out of money to pay for fuel, following PA taxing that fuel... the plant shut down recently when it ran out of fuel reserves... problems with transmission lines from Egypt cut off that powe... when Israel cuts power and they begin to run out of fuel in Gaza for backup generators, pressure will build on Israel to turn the lights on (using hospitals and schools without power to make Israel look like the bad guys). No sympathy here... not when they vote Hamas into power again and again.

From the article,
“Israel currently provides Gaza with 125MW, which accounts for 55% of the territory’s usual electricity supply. Israeli media say the cost is about $11m a month, which Israel deducts from tax revenue collected on behalf of the PA.”

I just don’t see how these idiots thought this through very well. I hope the PA and Hamas just destroy themselves and that entire population of dumb repulsive savages.

So the government of Palestine is torturing all their own people by disabling all electricity to cause a fight between Hamas, the Palestinian Authority and bring Israel into it on purpose to exacerbate the situation. It looks like this is just a propaganda move, since Israel never collects any money from the P.A. or Hamas.
Some lefties are going to go all bonkers about this somewhere even though they didn’t read the article(s) or care to study up on it.

Everything they do is propaganda.
Abbas is also trying to protect his own hide , Hamas has threatened to take over his turf . He knows he is a dead man if they do , he will suffer the same type death as all other deposed leaders in Islamic areas .
