A classic Israeli goal is to profit from the misery of others , particularly the Palestinians. Here is a recent example.
1) The first terrorist act in Israels collective punishment was to blow-up the Gaza power station. That leaves 1,000,000 Gazans at risk to a humanitarian crisis. Electricity is needed for water recovery and purification along with the other obvious needs.
2) Today Israel is voting for power to be restored to Gaza through the Israel Electric Corporation. It will certainly pass because then Israel will have complete control over the power grid in Gaza. It will also allow the Israelis to shut off vital services instantly. This is also pshychologically distressing to the Gazans.
3) The profiting from misery is obvious. Now Israels Electric Corp has a new large customer with a guarentee that its bill will be paid because of the access Israel Electric has to the stolen tax receipts of the Palestinian Authority.
4) Who will pay for a new power plant if Israel ever allows its reconstruction? America as usual is holding the bag for Israels murderous and collective punishment actions.. The power plant was insured by a U.S. agency named the Overseas Private Investment Corporation for $ 48 million.
How does the U.S. get out of this stupid situation ? A start would be to get AIPAC out of our halls of Congress where they behave like a 51st state. Israel should be regulated by the Foreign Lobby Registration Act. Please support the Council for the National Interest www.cnionline.org.
