Excerpt -

Israeli energy company Dor Alon has halted fuel supply to Gaza, in coordination with the IDF, and following Hamas' takeover of the Strip.

If fuel supply is not resumed within two-three days, all Gaza gas stations will be left without any fuel whatsoever.

Dor Alon will continue to supply fuel only to the Gaza power plant, in coordination with the IDF. The power plant receives about one third of the fuel supplied to the Strip.

In the meantime, supply of electricity to the Strip will also continue.

Good first step. Now stop the water, sewage, traffic and electricty flow. Let them totally collapse.

I’d stop everything except the water.

You die much to quickly of dehydration.

This needs to be strung out for weeks or months.

Force everyone else that purports to care about
these people to supply all the rest.... money,food,
fuel,electricity,medical care and supplies,hygiene
products,jobs...etc

Would be fun to watch...

Oh...and let the water trickle in so they can’t build up
any reserve and each time a missile hits Israel shut off
the spigot for a week.

Of course, we should wait for the fine print — if this goes in the pattern of all other Condi-inspired ‘sanctions’, it’ll actually be something like:

“We’re gonna cut off your fuel, but for ‘humanitarian’ reasons, we’re actually gonna send you fuel, but ya gotta promise that it won’t go to the terrorists...”

If as is rumored an Israeli military incursion into the Gaza is to take place it would be a good idea to make things unreasonable.

There is only one rational solution to Gaza, i.e. that the slammite world needs to be forced to find a place to put those losers, sufficiently isolated and remote that they can harm nobody other than themselves.

"if this goes in the pattern of all other Condi-inspired ‘sanctions’,"

I'd love to see a rock-ribbed conservative in charge of that bunch of left-wing commie rats.
But if he rooted out the traitors there wouldn't be anyone left at the State Department.

Liberal reaction will be predictable. Those mean Israel’s. Poor pitiful Hamas, (great humanitarians, feeders of the poor, defenders of the homeland, yada yada yada). Already the UN is demanding the US bail them out. Rebuild their infrastructure, schools, feed them, pay, provide medical care/technical support/knowledge, arm them, defend them with US troops. Months back, before Hamas won that election, Palestinian lobbyists were in DC, on C-Span, demanding all that and more. Just the other day I noticed their demands being floated by the US State Department. (I thought I was seeing things.) Can’t wait ‘til democratic Presidential hopefuls announce their ideas on the subject.

Hamas is the sworn blood enemy of the Isrealis, and Isreal is going to...

"...continue to supply fuel...to the Gaza power plant...and ...the supply of electricity will also continue..."

The Isrealis must be out of their minds!!! This is war, NOT patty-cake!!! Absolutely rediculous. The Isrealis really need to take a HARD look at their leadership.

They can strap some of their rockets onto their cars and still drive them. George Jetson would be proud.

The palis will most likely begin stealing the gas from the power plant, so there will automatically be less electricity.
Are the water and sewage plants run on electricity?

It will become even closer to Mad Max.

If Israel were smart, they would follow up the wall around Gaza with what it really needs.....a nice, thick, reinforced concrete cap...

Only deisel, power plant boilers don't run on gasoline.

Water and sewage? Fluids require some kind energy to move it, whether gravity in a down slope or motor driven pumps for head pressure.
