Smart readers send us news, too!

A forward from one of my favorite writers sister-woman, Jennifer Lowenstein, some news you won't get on the boob tube:

For the first time since 1967 ambulances could not travel on the road but this time it was due to drastic shortage in fuel supplies. In Rafah, the day before yesterday when some Israeli army units filtered into border areas of Rafah, clashes took place between them and Palestinian militants in the area, ambulances did not work and dead Palestinians and other injured one were moved from the scene on donkey cars and bicycles! Director of Abu Yousul al-Najjar hospital in Rafah said that the quantities of fuel that the government allocates for the hospital are small and barely sufficient to sustain the needs of the hospital building and other necessary needs!
