Palestinian Propaganda Alert

The Palestinians are at it again. They're claiming that they're shutting the universities in Gaza over a fuel shortage. Never mind that the Palestinian terrorists sought to destroy the Israeli fuel depot that supplies Gaza with fuel, to say nothing of the fact that the Palestinians themselves have refused to pick up oil shipments.

This is yet another manufactured crisis that an unquestioning media carries without digging deeper.

It's also on the heels of riots between Hamas and Fatah supporters at a university in Hebron.

The administration of the Islamic University in Hebron decided Saturday to suspend studies until further notice following fierce clashes on campus between students affiliated with Fatah and Hamas.

The clashes erupted after students belonging to the Hamas-affiliated Islamic List distributed leaflets accusing Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas's forces of arresting four of their colleagues.

Several students were wounded during the riots, eyewitnesses told The Jerusalem Post. They said the rioters also damaged furniture and equipment.
