Man Invents Alternative To Cooking Gas

An anonymous reader writes "Gazan resident Abed Ar-Rahman has revealed what he is claiming as an alternative to cooking gas that he developed since Israel has prevented deliveries of cooking gas to Gaza. He invented a device using chemical substances available in Gaza, which burn when mixed and brought into contact with oxygen. The first component is a metal filter that controls the interaction between 40% of the oxygen in the surrounding air, the inflammable substance and some other substances."

And even before the Europeans came, the various native American nations used to fight each other and take each other's lands and steal neighbouring 'nations' wealth (and sometimes eating the losers). So the fact that another better army came from overseas and beat them all is not even really anything different than business as usual. Except that the Europeans so far managed to keep everything they took. Now we are all here. Everyone get a job and stop bitching and asking for payback. History is history, let's live today. I'm tired of politically correct apologists trying to get me to wear a hairshirt and wring my hands over my great great great great grandparents coming to North America (well one of my four grandparent's lines go back that far in North America).

Religious wars are religious. This is not to be forgetting that until they cut down all the trees that the entire area wasn't a barren wasteland for the most part, but removing deserts is hard. However the original post is correct. No one really wanted the land Israel was on until it went from barren desert to lush green oasis in the 50's. The deepest point of irony in all of this is every point where Israel has given up land, and there was green/growth/fields or greenhouses it's already returning to desert.

Google maps shows a rather amazing transformation.

Not to mention the claim about aluminum being "hard to get".

Then again, given what the last order of aluminum pipes that were SUPPOSED to go towards rebuilding the greenhouses the Palestinians themselves destroyed were instead used for, I'm not too surprised about this one.
