I couldn't help but laugh despite the tragedy. Living in the Gaze strip has always been figurately like being washed away in a **** storm.. now it LITERALLY is too.

Gross.

I like the spin on it: because of the election won by Hamas, the international boycott and security issues have made it impossible to fix things like this. So really, it's all our fault.

Right.

I'm surprised the usual suspects didn't post this and blame Israel out right.

The flying chicken bastard zionists should be executed for covertly involving MOSAD in this.

On February 9, the Shin Bet arrested Amar Azk, 37. During his interrogation, he confessed selling the pipes to Hamas and other terrorist organizations that manufactured Kassam rockets, fired almost daily at Israel. The Shin Bet said Azk's activities began with the start of the second intifada in 2000 and were only brought to a halt by his arrest. The agency could not say how much metal Azk traded, except that it was "significant."

The pipes that were sold to Zak were intended for the construction of a sewage system in Gaza.
The Shin Bet has been unable to determine the amount of metal that actually made its way to the terror organizations, and how much went to the sewage project.

I guess this crappy situation is their own fault, huh?

This looks to me like schedule 40 steel pipe to me. Hardly what one would want to make rockets out of.

While I agree with you that the people lobbing rockets into Israel are fairly stupid, I doubt they are so stupid that they can't make use of a cutting torch.

My mistake. I didn't think anyone would make a rocket out of schedule 40 steel pipe because it would be too heavy and seriously shorten the range of the rocket. As it turns out, the Kassam rockets are extremely short ranged weapons.....I would think mainly because of their weight.
