Egypt to Supply Electricity to Hamas Controlled Gaza
2007-08-20
Egypt says it will supply electricity to the Gaza Strip. The move comes after the EU and Israel have stopped subsidizing and delivering fuel to the Strip after irregularities were discovered concerning the fuel already supplied and suspicions increased that terrorists were using the fuel to power Kassam rockets.
It's a beginning

#8  Zen, its AC

AC has a hot and ground as well. What with all their red wire, blue wire problems, mixing up these two shouldn't be much of a stretch.

#7  Zen, its AC and I doubt they're high tech enough to have a ground wire. Unfortunately, you have a great idea that can't be taken advantage of because they're about 6 months ahead of the first light bulb.

#5  Egypt to Supply Electricity to Hamas Controlled Gaza

In keeping with usual quality standards of Islamic workmanship proficiency, is their some way to ensure that the hot and ground leads get exchanged?

#3  Does this mean providing fuel for the power plants, or hooking Gaza up to the Egyptian electrical grid?

#2  As long as they continue long enough for Israel to disconnect.

#1  Egypt won't keep this up long. They don't have the resources to throw away on pet projects.

Also see PR gestures that don't amount to diddly.
