"Human rights group" blames Israel for deadly Gaza fire

When in doubt, blame the Jews.

Yesterday there was a catastrophic fire in a Gaza residential building that tragically killed 21, including many children. We don't know what sparked the fire, but Gaza officials noted that there was a large amount of gasoline being stored in the building and that is likely what made the fire so explosive and deadly.

The Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, however, knows who to blame. Along with Hamas and Islamic Jihad officials who spoke at the mass funeral, this "human rights" organization blames Israel and Israel alone.

We are deeply shocked & hurt by the tragic death of at least 21 Palestinians in Jabalyia refugee camp last night as a result of a fire that broke out in a residential building. 

Jabalyia is #Gaza's largest refugee camp, with an extremely high population density. 

Deadly house fires are a regular occurrence in #Gaza due to severe electricity shortages caused by Israel's illegal and punitive closure. 

According to @AlMezanCenter estimates, between 2010 and 2020, 35 Palestinians, including 28 children, lost their lives in similar incidents.

Israel has nothing to do with the electricity shortages in Gaza. It provides fuel for the power plant and electrical lines from Israel to Gaza. It is supposed to be paid by the Palestinian Authority for the electricity and fuel, but the PA has not wanted to pay the bills.  Gaza's infrastructure cannot handle the needs of the population. Just no one wants to pay to solve the problem.

Wikipedia's page on the issue is surprisingly accurate. "The crisis is predominantly the result of tensions between Hamas, which has ruled Gaza since June 2007, and the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Fatah, which rules in the West Bank, over custom tax revenue, funding of Gaza, and political authority."

Also, Egypt has provided no electricity since early 2018, according to OCHA. I have not read a single article about that; Egypt just stopped trying to maintain the power lines to Gaza and no one said a negative word.

NGOs and journalists automatically blame Israel for anything bad that happens in Gaza, and that latent antisemitism hurts actual residents of Gaza. Problems cannot be solved until they are defined, and as long as "human rights organizations" falsely blame Israel for everything, nothing can be done to fix things.
