I've Been Thinking:

Gaza is having an electricity problem.
It goes off, it comes on.
What is happening?

Here's what's happening:

The European Union sponsors about a third of the electricity in Gaza.
The EU cut the electric supply to Gaza earlier this week because Hamas was taxing the electricity and using the tax to finance their government.
The EU restored electricity on the condition that it go directly to the Palestinian people.

Another portion of Gaza's electricity comes from a private Israeli company.

That company cut off electricity because the bills weren't being paid. Now those bills will be paid.

A third portion is provided by the Egyptians who say that they were aware of the Hamas tax, but felt compelled to provide electricity despite it all.

Electricity in Gaza - now you see it, now you don't.
