Looking to the future: Gaza rebuilding plan includes bomb shelters
2011-05-24
BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- A blueprint to rebuild the Gaza Strip includes measures to protect infrastructure from future attacks, a Palestinian official said Saturday of a plan for recovery after Israel's Operation Cast Lead.
Full employment for the tunnel rats!!
Osama Ikheil, head of the Palestinian contractors union, said the plan will introduce bomb shelters at schools and residential areas as well as materials to protect homes from bombings.

The proposal, one of several submitted to the union, includes protection for residential and industrial areas. The measures will be discussed with government officials charged with implementing the recovery.

Such protections are standard in Israel, particularly in areas near the Gaza Strip.
Of course, in Israel such things are built properly. We won't ask how many Gazans will die as a result of an excess of fly ash in the cement when the bombs actually fall.
Some 3,540 homes, 268 factories and warehouses, as well as schools, vehicles, water wells, public infrastructure, greenhouses and agricultural land, were destroyed during Cast Lead, a report from the international rights group Human Rights Watch recorded. Nearly 3,000 homes were severely damaged in the attacks that left over 1,400 Palestinians dead.

Human rights groups say the destruction of property was unlawful under international law.
Human rights groups say many things, most of them wrong.

#3  As the Weekly Standard's KRISTOL said on Fox News roundtable > THE PROB ISN'T SO MUCH THAT ISRAEL'S BORDERS [1967 or Present] CAN'T BE RE-NEGOTIATED, BUT THAT HAMAS + OTHER PALEO MILITANT GROUPS REFUSE TO RECOGNIZE ISRAEL'S RIGHT TO EXIST.

IOW, Israel + Paleos going "back to the future" of "1967", etc. is a MOOT/MINOR-IFF-NOT-IRRELEVANT POINT in comparison to the PA, Regional Islam never ending its existential war agz Israel.

#2  That's assuming they give a flying-F about civilians. They don't and never will.

Do you think these bomb shelters would be used to protect the civilians? They will be used as ammo-dumps.

After all the Green Helmet Guy and friends needs to be able to wave around dead little girls for the media.

#1  Simpler to just locate rocket launchers, weapons depots and such far away from residential areas.
