Seriously, the Palestinians Just Suck At Everything

They can't do anything right:

At least six people died and many more were missing after sewage and mud flooded a northern Gaza Strip village Tuesday morning, officials said. The hospital in Beit Lahiya reported that an elderly woman, a 1-year-old baby, a 3-year-old child and a 15-year-old girl were among the casualties. Some 15 people were injured. The Bedouin village, Umm Naser, was flooded when the earth wall of a large cesspool sewage pool collapsed. Palestinians reported that 70 percent of the houses were completely submerged in the sewage, and residents said more than 200 people were still missing in the village of 3,000.

And then the Israelis had the nerve to offer assistance so that less elderly people and babies would have to die. But the Palestinians are too smart to fall for such a patently obvious Zionist plot:

Defense Minister Amir Peretz instructed the IDF to provide assistance to the Palestinians through the coordination mechanism in territories. Peretz ordered the army to prepare for a possibility of evacuating the injured to Israeli hospitals. A senior army officer, however, told Ynet that the Palestinians had no asked for Israeli assistance in the evacuation of the injured or in the delivery of medications and medical equipment.

This is like the time that Iran wouldn't accept Israeli disaster aid because it was too Jewish. Or that other time, when the State Department wouldn't accept Israeli disaster aid because they were afraid that other Muslim countries would think that it was too Jewish. Or even like that other other time, when the Pakistanis accepted Israeli aid on the condition that it go through the UN.

Israeli help is consistently and sometimes literally spit upon, but they keep offering anyway.
