Those fires in Israel

From The New York Times:

As Wildfires Rage, Israel Suggests Arson and Asks for Foreign Help
Parts of the port city of Haifa in northern Israel were ablaze on Thursday as wildfires raged through the country for a third day, devouring forests, damaging homes and prompting the evacuation of tens of thousands of people.

Asked how long Haifa was likely to be battling the blazes, Mayor Yona Yahav told reporters, “This is a question that has to be referred to God.”

Israeli officials said the fires had been fanned by unusually strong winds and made worse by a dry atmosphere, but they also said they suspected that many of them had been caused by arson and negligence. Dozens of people have been slightly affected by smoke inhalation, but no serious injuries or fatalities have been reported.

Gilad Erdan, Israel’s public security minister, told Army Radio that the professional assessment was that almost half the fires were the result of arson.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu attributed the fires to “natural and unnatural” causes and said that “any fire caused by arson or incitement to arson is terrorism in every sense of the word, and we will treat it as such.”

Arson is terrorism and the Israelis need to punch back twice as hard when confronting it. The so-called Palestinians (actually Hashamite Jordanians) do not consider Israel to be a valid state and have no desire for peace. A group of people brainwashed by a false prophet and corrupt leadership. I truly pity them for one day they will wake up and see the black cloud they have been living under.
