The European Union helped to build more than 30 miles of water pipelines for Palestinians despite Hamas terrorists boasting of their ability to forge an arsenal of home-made rockets from pipes.
Brussels has poured almost €100 million into pipeline projects in territories controlled by the Islamist group over the last decade, a Telegraph analysis of the bloc’s foreign aid found.
The revelation comes amid a mounting international row over future handouts to Gaza amid fears humanitarian donations could fall into the hands of Hamas.
Yes, we should have gone with the alternative of letting millions of people die of thirst.
/s, because otherwise somebody will somehow think I meant this literally
Probably should have gone with plastic pipes.
If the pipeline is being used to make rockets, they’re not being used to provide water.
I wonder if there’s a very specific reason why the Gaza strip needs such a water pipeline 🤔
ah yes aerospace grade aluminium and concrete water pipes
Ah yes because 2M people without any ~15cm diameter metal pipes sugar and fertilizer makes a lot of sense.
what? I’m just making fun of the difference in material grades required for missiles and water pipes?
If you just want a lot of explosions to happen in a general direction a cement pipe works just fine.
The cost of the pipe is miniscule compared to the rest of the components though, and more mass means you’ll need more of everything else.
things you need:
- control electronics
- propellant (prolly solid)
- explosive
- propellant casing
- propellant ignitor
- aerodynamic casing around everything
isn’t it kind of ridiculous to want to make missiles out of pipe that people are trying to give you to provide essential things like water? how fucked up of a person do you have to be to be like oh look at this pipe I can make missiles out of it instead of getting clean water.
And now you understand the struggle Israel is in.
Their government actively undermined peace, they are not innocent. Both sides want an enemy and that’s why the conflict is ongoing
Oh yes, Israel just put the temptation to dig up irrigation, sewage and water lines to make homemade rocket systems because they, checked notes didn’t spontaneously die like we’ve been demanding them too.
Those Damn Jews! /s
