by cutting all electrical power.

Children - and grown up people - with serious kidney problems will die, Palestinian doctors say. They are completely dependent on dialysis which is dependent on electrical power.

A case for the UN court in Hague?

Hey, Reality... Do you remember how it was called the indiscriminated retaliation against civilian population by a sovereign state?

And electricity. 

Am I the only one that noticed that good old merry 'Robin Hood' didn't provide anything to back up this claim?  Just posted some stuff?

I can admit I am not completely up to date on this, but can someone answer this for me?  Why is it Israel's responsibility to provide electricity?  Should they be looking to to do it for themselves?

Because they are the occupier of an entire people and there are some laws of war under Geneva Convention, which the Zionist state doesn't give a fuck about it anyway.

And maybe you are right: is not Israel's responsibility to do that, but than Israel shouldn't occupy a foreign land and try to steal Gaza's water supply. Did you know that the only reason Israel is holding on that Goddam piece of land called Gaza Strip is for it's underground water resources. In another words, you have zionists stealing from some poor human beings, even if it is the air they breathe (not that is something new that the world doesn't know about it)

Haven't they pulled out of the Gaza?  If they were occupying it, I doubt they would be allowing rockets to be fired from there.

I see you don't know too much about the region.

If they pulled out, how come I don't see on the world map any independent state of Palestine ? Douh ?

too much talk about intricacies, just stick to the facts, they speak for themselves

I wrote an answer but it's invisible.


The Gaza strip is a completely isolated piece of land. During the Israeli ocupaiton, it was Israel's responsability to provide the services required byt he population, but for obvious reasosn they made sure to plug services to outside networks, and thus Gaza's abbility to produce its own electricity is pretty low. All they got is old equipment dated to the time of the British occupation, and which was designed for far less people than it lives there now.

Put in short, Gaza obtained its power supply from Iasrael as Israel didn't wanted Gaza to have its own power supply, and so now Israel can just pull out the plug and leave Gaza without power supply. Provided that Gaza is utterly poor, its economy is a whole disaster as its main business partner is Israel and its main employer is Israel, then Gaza can't live in the civilized world if Israel denies them the services, as consequence of israel's own occupation policy whose aim was, of course, precisely this.

Which leaves us with the uncomfortable question of what is the name of it when a State undertakes a collective and undiscirminated punishment against a civilian population.

Or, as this cartoon told...



Gaza's status has never been that of an independent nothing, but has always been an occupied land (owned by the Brits, by Egypt, by Israel) wiht all the inconveniences from it... and a hostage civilian population currently trapped between rocket-throwing heartless motherfucckers and mass-punishing heartless motherfuckers. Business as usual.
