Israel cuts power to answer Gaza rockets!

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071025/ap_on_re_mi_ea/israel_palestinians

Hey, this is a great idea! I say we start cutting power in South Central L.A. This will prevent the Bloods & Crips from engaging in domestic terrorism..AMRITE? Or better yet, I say we cut power in the deep south to difuse any future attacks from the neo-con abortion clinic bombers!

Talk about a sound policy. It's gratifying to see that Israel is still following the road map to peace.

This raises the question: Does collective punishment work on a society that believes that it's in the right ? .

Gaza is an enemy entity. maybe the US should supply free utilities to Iran?

Hey, don't the Geneva Conventions forbid collective punishment?

 

I know Human rights watch and the UN don't abide it.
But that never meant much to anybody.

 

what surprises me more is that through-out this disgusting intifada the Israeli gov't has NOT cut off utilities to Gaza and WB, and is only getting to it now when it's almost over

 

They know that in doing that, they would only increase support for the Intifada, so they're probing.. doing it incrementally so no one can protest.

 

why won't Jordan and Egypt supply the "Palestinians" with electricity and fuel? how about Saud and Iran donate some of that crude instead of bombs and rockets and guns...

it's a bizarro world situation that Israel supplies free shit to the party that is suicide bombing it

 

Its also bizarre the Israel funded and supported HAMAS, a party that swore to its destruction.

 

hey otheadp,

i hope all is good.

great point, i have no data to suggest that Saud does or does not supply Oil, but i doubt they do the hypocritical arrogant iomberciles.

otheadp is completely right those arabs should be doing this instead of wasting their nations welath of their various vices.


however collective punishment is awfull to and counterproductive i would imagine. Also otheadp, it is worth bearing in mmind that WB and gazza are occupied by israel so they have responsibilities too.

Anyway the arabs should be ashamed of themselves but then again we know that they dont really want this situation sorted anyway.

Supporting an occupation? :spank:

 

excellent post. good to hear someone sees things the same way.
just one thing though re: "WB and gazza are occupied by israel"

that's a lie that has been repeated over and over and became a reality. you see, many don't see it as occupation. certainly there is a legal argument to make that it isn't.

EDIT:
oh, and how can i forget -- there is no occupation of Gaza even by the standards that anti-Israel people use. there are no Jews in Gaza -- military or civilian.. remember the 2005 withdrawal?

 

Reminds me of what the brits did to Damascus to get the Arabs to cowtow in 1918.

 

Heh, yeah sure, its a free country.

Well at least they aren't bombing little kids as usual!

 

Don't any of you find it odd that the people of Gaza, after all these years, can't even supply their own people with power and water and sewer?

What have the Palestinians been doing all this time? ...spending time and money and effort trying to kill Israelis? ...while their own people suffer and starve? ...instead of helping their own people?

Nah, the kids don't suffer enough if Israel carpet bombs Gaza. See if they cut the power, the kids will die a slow agonizing death(alot more satisfying to them). No way to refigerate food, no way to keep babby formula from spoling, no way to adequately keep the new borns warm at night etc.

 

What have the Israeli's been doing ? Sabotaging the economy and effectively preventing aid as all international aid has to go through Israel. Every time a military operation occurs, the palestinian economy gets attacked as well along with the power. Yes, the Palestinian Authority is corrupt, but they aren't the ones destroying all the infrastructure.
Particularly since a lot of Palestinians live just inside israel but have to wait 4 hours to work in palestine.

Well if the Palestinian Authority had spent the moneys that they received from the U.N. and the International Community for infrastructure, like power stations, instead of weapons to attack Israel, or to line their own bank accounts, they wouldn't be in the position that they are in now would they?

If they stopped sending Qusams into Israel from the Gaza, Fatah wouldn't be out of electrical power now would they?

If the Arabs hadn't went to war in 1948, there would be a Palestinian State right along side of Israel, and there never would have been a refugee problem, now would there be?

The Fatah is getting exactly what it deserves, and the Palestinian People of the Gaza are supporting Fatah, so they are getting the benefit of what they allowed to get control of their government, and the policies that the Fatah put into practice.

If you fight a war with out the proper infrastructure, and spend the aid money for weapons instead of infrastructure, prepare to suffer, and have your children suffer from your actions.

 

Actually they should just leave the kids out on the street then the IDF can come and break their arms and legs and stomp on their chests for fun. In case they feel the children haven't suffered enough from just starvation, that is.
