Pull a curtain.

"Palestinian lawmakers attend a parliament session in candlelight during a power cut in Gaza January 22, 2008. Israel agreed to allow some fuel, medicine and food into the Hamas-run Gaza Strip on Tuesday, at least temporarily easing a blockade that has plunged much of the territory into darkness and sparked international protests."

As long as there is enough "light" left to understand that having "kill the Jew" as a personal and national priority is a certain way to oblivion, this may produce some glimer of awakening in a former intellectual black out in the Pali psyche.
Posted by: WL Mackenzie Redux at January 26, 2008 10:49 AMTry to imagine the British supplying their mortal enemies, Nazi Germany, with electricity. And people think Jews are smart.
from HonestReporting:
As Israel's Foreign Ministry notes, the supply of electricity to Gaza from the Israel and the Egyptian power grids (124 Megawatts and 17 Megawatts respectively) has continued uninterrupted. These 141 Megawatts of power represents about three quarters of Gaza's electricity needs.
Israel Electric Company workers' committee chairman Miko Zarfati goes further:
"This is Palestinian spin. No one has stopped the supply of electricity to the Strip," Zarfati told Ynet. He claimed that his employees worked day and night in a power plant in Ashkelon while putting themselves in danger of being hit by Qassam rockets falling in the area.
The Gaza power plant only produces 30% of the electricity consumed in the Strip while Israel supplies the rest.
"It is simply offensive and arrogant for them to claim that there is shortage," Zarfati said....
"The situation is totally absurd. We're continuing to supply them electricity despite the (demand) overload for electricity in Israel and despite the fact that Israeli residents and Electric Company workers that are being sent to Gaza Vicinity communities are under threat from Qassam rockets," Zarfati railed."

Posted by: cal2 at January 26, 2008 11:48 AMRichard Landes at his website Second Draft does yeoman's work on Pallywood. He's got a new film up now on the "Gaza Beach Tragedy".
As you may already know, he was the main force behind the exposure of the Al Durah hoax which launched the second intifida but which, sadly, too many people in the west have concluded was fake but true like Dan's memo.
The finest propagandists on the planet the PaliNazis. They had great teachers: the KGB and the Nazis.
Drama queens, pure and simple, drama queens. PMSH is dead on standing up to this crew of poseurs. Any political body that would send it's children to die because they do not have the stones to fight Israel like men, deserve to rot in the dark.

Here, I thought Reuters worked for Mohammed.

Haw haw.

Rather a sexist comment I would say. This is obviously a Liberal they can't debate without insults and innuendo. Please ignore the trolls. Just leave them screaming from the kiddie table where they belong.
Posted by: Largs at January 26, 2008 1:44 PMHas anyone ever seen Warren Kinsella and Rachel Marsden in the same room?
Posted by: Kate at January 26, 2008 1:46 PMOh my goodness, that photo looks so ridiculous. Those Hamas people really are nuts. They need to stand back and take a look at themselves. Have they lost all dignity? And this is supposed to be the government. Can you imagine this sort of behaviour from normal functioning adults, bringing out candles in the middle of the daytime?
What we have here folks is a directly proportional relationship.
The more Kate gets under the skin of the dipper/moonbat/librano/leftard crowd, the more cowardly and disgusting the attacks on her become.
As if Kate's love life means jack shit anything when it comes to all things political.
LMAO
Posted by: kingstonlad at January 26, 2008 2:50 PMCome to think of it, WK has a history of making sexist comments CBC fan could be WK himself. Good going WK. You won't even have to pull this one and apologize for it.
Posted by: Largs at January 26, 2008 3:07 PMWant to bet Mohammed Salem, Reuters' photo stringer, lives a few blocks away. There are only two reasons for Reuters' consistent follies using local stringers in the ME in my opinion: they either want the slant that is purveyed to them or they are such a cheap and let's hope money strapped outfit that they can't expense account a neutral party to gather their info there. I think the first reason is the real one.
Just where are their photo editors? A three year old could have spotted the sunlight behind the draped windows.
Reuters' is so consistently rabidly anti-American and anti-capitalist that I've quit reading their business links on Yahoo.
Posted by: penny at January 26, 2008 3:43 PMBad enough that they would stage the fauxtography(pity us we work in the dark!)
But how many MSM printed/used the Reuters picture?
and spread the faux message?
Hey...is this a WK thread? I thought he was getting his on the next post?
Posted by: bluetech at January 26, 2008 4:56 PMLooks light outside.......why do they have the curtains drawn?????/
Just to get the desired effect for the picture for the media so they can play their trick of making Israel look like a big bully again......???

Open the shades, and see the light!
CBC Fan -- is your nose dripping and are you foaming at the mouth right now -- how about hot flashes or rectal itch? Just wondering! Hate feels sooooo good! Better than an after dinner mint! Cheers...
Posted by: Orlin at January 26, 2008 5:51 PMTo rub it in, the Israeli forces obviously shone brilliant spotlights onto the curtained windows of the trapped Palestinians. Have the Israelis no shame?
Posted by: Richard Ball at January 26, 2008 6:13 PMOh come on now, don't you know you have to close the curtains FOR the picture taking?
The candles are just for atmosphere ya know...

Posted by: Shere Khan at January 27, 2008 10:38 AM...is it me, or does the wood carving in the benches of the 'law makers' resemble an Israeli flag?
Posted by: tomax7 at January 27, 2008 12:53 PM...sorry, meant the Star of David.
Posted by: tomax7 at January 27, 2008 12:54 PMLOL as many have noted why didn't they pull the drapes open, how stupid do the leftards think we are. Another staged media event.
Posted by: Rose at January 27, 2008 5:25 PMOK folks. This photo wasn't staged and that isn't daylight showing through the curtains. It's the spotlights from Israeli tanks that have surrounded the building.
Tomax7 - The design does resemble the Star of David but has 8 points instead of 6. - Two squares instead of 2 triangles. - Don't know if there is any social or religious connotations...
