From the Department of Palestinian Logic:
Palestinian petrol distribution companies refused to receive the amount of fuel from Israel’s Dor company as a form of protesting the Israeli reduced its fuel supplies to Gaza.
Palestinian said on Sunday that most of the service stations in Gaza Strip have run out of fuel, especially the diesel as Israel started to reduce Gaza fuel deliveries.
The Union of petrol stations owners said in a statement that the Gaza Strip needs 350 thousand liters of diesel everyday while Israel wants to allow only 90 thousand liters in.
As for the gasoline, the costal Strip, where 1.5 million lives, needs 120 thousand liters and Israel wants to send 20 thousand liters. The 350 tons of gas were reduced to 80 tons, the statement added.
“The reduction of fuel is unjustifiable and irresponsible,” the union said. “It causes negative effects on all sectors of life, especially on the health and education systems.”
The union said the local petrol companies have refused to receive what Israel is sending “in order not to be partners in punishing the Palestinian people because these quantities are insufficient.”
It makes perfect sense. Protest the reduction in fuel supplies – which you claim is causing hardship – by refusing to receive any fuel. That’ll learn ’em.
Reminds me of the logic displayed here. If I were palestinian, I think I would protest their protests.
Meanwhile, here are some ways the palestinians can ensure they have enough fuel for their urgent needs.
- Stop using fuel for terrorist operations.
- Stop stealing cars. You are having enough trouble filling up your own ones, let alone those stolen from Israelis.
And of course the most effective way is to stop supporting terror, and start actively opposing it.
