The terrorists are trying to smuggle potassium nitrate in bags using the EU imprimatur.
In the West Bank.
In a joint operation of the Shin Bet and the Israel Defense Forces several weeks ago, a truck was caught at one of the crossing points in the West Bank carrying approximately 6.5 tons of potassium nitrate intended for use by militants in the Gaza Strip, the IDF announced in a statement Saturday.
Potassium nitrate is a banned substance in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank due to its use by militants for the manufacturing of explosives and Qassam rockets.
“The terror organizations disguised the Potassium Nitrate in sugar bags that were marked as being part of the humanitarian aid provided by the European Union,” the IDF said.
“This is another example of how the terror organizations exploit the humanitarian aid that is delivered to the Palestinian population in the Gaza Strip with Israel’s approval.
You know, those humiliating checkpoints—the ones that are the cause of terrorism against the Israelis—they really don’t do much good, do they? Nah. Catching six and a half tons of a chemical used to make explosives is not worth “humiliating” the poor, poor, pitiful Pals.
*shrug* Send it back to the EU and make ’em use every ounce of it as if it were sugar.
Better still, force feed it to male Gazans. It would reduce the population explosion a bit.
And even BETTER, drive it into the middle of Gaza and use it as THEY were going to.
Let them eat their own poison. Where’s the pro Palestinian press on this? Don’t tell me, let me guess, it was supposed to used for fertilizer…
War crimes? Nah, nothing is a “war crime” if the poor, oppressed Palestinians do it. You want proof? Just look at the media reaction to this non-event, if you can hear it over the sound of the chirping crickets.
