The puppet collaborators of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah sent firefighters to Israel to help combat the Carmel mountain blaze. They wanted to demonstrate their subservience to Israel and naively thought it would win them some credit with the Israeli government or at least the public. Fat chance.
After the fire was contained and drawn down, the deputy Israeli foreign minister - a far-right, ultra-nationalist zealot who is most famous for his brilliant act of diplomacy whereby he made the Turkish ambassador sit in a lower sofa - wrote an op-ed thanking those nations who offered aid to Israel during the crisis. He referenced each nation specifically, but then dismissed the Palestinians as merely as "immediate neighbors". Granted there is no Palestine state but he did not even want to use the word Palestinian, as a people, and just vaguely - as if begrudgingly and with great recalcitrance - spoke about some "immediate neighbors" who are not to be dignified by any acknowledgement of people-hood. And the Palestinians thought that the Israeli right would go soft and grow a heart at the sight of Palestinian firefighters aiding Israelis.
And what makes it even more offensive for the Palestinian Authority to have offered help is that on the occupied West Bank illegal Israeli settlers routinely set fires to Palestinian groves and homes and cars and are treated with immunity by Israeli authorities. Does the PA bother to send fire trucks to its own people?
Israel decided to recently hold an event honoring all the foreigners who offered assistance, including Turkey, Egypt and Jordan. But the PA's firefighters were denying entrance to Israel and thus cannot attend. The Israeli government simply did not want Palestinians there.
Israel once again demonstrating its vile and affront character is not surprising and further evidence of the cruel and moral bankruptcy of the Zionist state and the need for its international isolation, but the PA does the humiliation for its corrupt submissive attitude toward the occupiers.
