From the Open Forums Thursday, February 09, 2012 No lights in Gaza, Egyptians fail to deliver the oil No Channuka for them.
reports that "the city of Gaza will sink into darkness within 72 hours" if no fuel is found to run the power plant.
The Energy Authority in Gaza sent out a distress call to the Arab and Muslim countries for urgent intervention to resolve the crisis.

Europe February 20 – March 10
West Bank March 12-19
United States February 26 – March 3
Canada March 5-9
Arab World March 5-11
South Africa March 5-11

So, just a reminder that you can get to use in your own communities for pro-Israel rallies and counterprotests. Posted by Mediocrates 1 comment Tags: In The NewsMore from the Open Forums
