It's all the fault of the international community and, no thank you, we don't want Israeli aid.
So said Arabs in Gaza Tuesday, after the embankment of a large cesspit collapsed, sending toxic liquid pouring into the "Palestinian" village of Um Nasser.
At least six people reportedly drowned in the filthy flood, many more are still missing, and 25 were injured.
A Hamas spokesman said the blame was due to the international sanctions instituted after his terror group won a large majority in elections last year.
Israel offered to help bring relief to the disaster area, but the Arabs spurned it, saying they could deal with the situation on their own.
