Here in Gaza, what is happening under Israeli military bombardment has never been seen before. Homes are being destroyed without residents being warned. Israeli missiles are hitting high-rise buildings, mosques, streets – and we are asking ourselves “What’s still to come?” It’s a question we fear to answer.
At Medical Aid for Palestinians, we have released all our pre-positioned stocks of medical supplies to hospitals, as health services have been overwhelmed by the huge influx of injuries.
...Israel’s attacks are constant, and they intensify at night. The impact on Gaza’s million children – almost half the population – is severe....
As of Monday, Israel has imposed a “total closure” on Gaza – effectively a siege, restricting the entry of fuel, electricity, and even food and water – despite its obligations under international law. We are suffering with almost no electricity, and it will only get worse. We had no electricity from 3pm on Sunday until 9am on Monday.
Local health services, meanwhile, are completely overwhelmed. ...Most of the time now the streets are empty. People fear the worst is yet to come, given the support Israel is receiving from its western allies, without consideration or concern for basic humanitarian principles or international law. We only hope that we will come out of this alive.

“The impact on Gaza’s million children – almost half the population – is severe..”
Funny. This raghead ***hole didn’t say one word about all those murdered Jewish children.
Not one word.

Son of a -— Growing up, if a damned squirrel got zapped by a transformer, we’d be without electricity for longer than that!
Ask your parent who they voted for. If they voted for Hamas...then let the Good Lord sort it out in the end.
The world is tired of this ‘terrorist’ threat. But Hamas was voted into power in Gaza. And while the world doesn’t do business with non-states...Hamas is a terrorist state.
Is saying that Biblically a bad thing? Politically bad?
The more I hear and see of the ‘muslim world,’ the savages, the zealots, the twelvers, you call it whatever, whether ISIS or Taliban, Hamas, etc. YOU and YOUR KIND choose to not live in the global society/world. YOU and YOUR KIND choose to rather see ALL of us dead. NOT live in Peace, but dead. That’s your religion, that’s your teaching, that’s your culture to raise up your children to be martyr’s to a false god. A false god, who after all these centuries is still driven by blood-lust and death.
What should Israel do? Better yet, when a false doctrine deludes millions of people who cannot be shaken from it, what is the world to do? A world that cannot trust you, cannot trust your word because the Father of Lies tells you to lie to us and then kill us.
We have seen what your kind do all across the Middle East. These are not extremist, terrorists at all, but the army of the Father of Lies. That is who you live for, who you worship, and who you send your men and children to die for.
I rail against you and all the evil in you. I declare that Satan come out of the Middle East in the name of the True God. I declare the scales fall from your eyes for you know the Truth and you have made your choice.
“fuel, electricity”
There are dead tree branches and grass.
Solar panels could have been bought. It’s been 26 years since Kyoto.
Electricity is not an essential need for humans. George Washington lived without it.
As I reside in Georgia, terrorists are like....
Fire Ants. Kill’em all.
2 oz liquid Binfenthrin per gallon of water.
Drench entire mound, use 2-3 gallons, maybe more.
Sprinkle Bifenthrin granules in a broad area around
mound for squirters, stragglers, and returning terrorists.
Immediate kill, lasting results.
Roughly 21% of Israel’s more than nine million citizens are Arabs. The vast majority of the Israeli Arabs - approximately 83% - are Muslims, 9% are Druze, and 8% are Christian. Some 52% of the Arab citizens live in northern Israel, 20% in the “Triangle” region in the center of the country, 18% in the Negev, and 8% in the mixed cities (Acre, Haifa, Jaffa, Ramla, Lod, Nof Hagalil and Maalot-Tarshiha), 1% in the Jerusalem Corridor (including West Jerusalem) and 2% in the rest of the country.Arabs in Israel have equal voting rights; it is one of the few places in the Middle East where Arab women may vote.
Arabic, like Hebrew, was an official language in Israel until 2018. That year the Knesset adopted the Nation-State Law, which downgraded the status of the Arabic language from an official state language to one holding a more ambiguous "special status."
The sole legal distinction between Jewish and Arab citizens of Israel is that the latter are not required to serve in the Israeli army. This was to spare Arab citizens the need to bear arms against their brethren. Nevertheless, many Arabs have volunteered for military duty – more than 1,000 in 2020 – and the Druze and Circassian communities are subject to the draft.
Some economic and social gaps between Israeli Jews and Arabs result from the latter not serving in the military. Veterans qualify for many benefits and jobs not available to non-veterans. Moreover, the army aids in the socialization process. On the other hand, Arabs have an advantage in obtaining some jobs when Israelis are in the military. In addition, industries like construction and trucking have come to be dominated by Israeli Arabs.
In 2020, the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) reported “a dramatic rise in the share of Arab Israelis who define their primary identity as ‘Israeli,’ and a concomitant sharp decline in the share who self-identify as ‘Palestinian.’” In 2019, only 35.9% defined themselves as Israeli Arabs compared to 47.1% as Palestinians in Israel and 14.8% as just Palestinians (see also Palestinian Public Opinion Polls).
In 2021, tensions between Israeli Jews and Arabs grew significantly with an outbreak of Arab violence in some mixed cities during the Guardian of the Walls operation in Gaza. For the first time, Arabs and Jews in Haifa, Acre, Jaffa, Ramla, and Lod attacked each other. Arabs are proportionately represented in the Knesset and head all their municipalities, schools, and religious courts.
The national election of 2021 was notable for a radical change in Israeli politics, with the Ra’am Party becoming the first Arab party to join a governing coalition. ... It could have brought down the government at any time if it was dissatisfied with its direction. ....
The Israel Central Bureau of Statistics monitors the gaps between Arabs and Jews by 62 objective and subjective indicators that cover 11 areas of life: ....In 2019, the situation of Jews was better than that of Arabs for 50 of the 62 indicators; in three, they were equal, and in nine, the Arabs’ condition was better.
In 2021, after the 10-day war in Gaza – Operation Guardian of the Walls – a survey by the aChord Center, a nonprofit organization that specializes in the social psychology of intergroup relations, found that 60% of Jews felt a high degree of anger and/or fear toward Arabs. - https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/the-status-of-arabs-in-israel
Obviously, the bombardment is done for a reason. It’s the only thing you folks understand. Iran is testimony to the carrot part of stick and carrot process does not work with certain cultures.
We had no electricity from 3pm on Sunday until 9am on Monday.

IOW the Israelis are keeping the power on part of the time then.
“water”
There are thunderstorms and showers from time to time.

Wells can be dug instead of tunnels.
The limit for no water is about 3 days.
I believe there’s a saying “don’t bite the hand that feeds you.”
Tell that to Muhammad junior, there Shalabi.
“... The bombardment of Gaza is now constant. My nine-year-old asked me if he would go to heaven or hell Mahmoud Shalabi We lack water, electricity, fuel, and our besieged services are staggering under the massive numbers of injured. No one is safe”.
Trying to decide if my response should be “Don’t start nothin and there won’t be nothin” or “You fuc*ed around and found out”.
All of Gaza needs to be leveled and paved as a parking lot. These animals slept with the dogs of terror and must now pay the price. To those in this country who cheer for them from half way around the world I say - go die with them.......
No one wants wants them, they have caused nothing but problems in every country that has taken them in. Egypt, Jorden and Lebanon to name a few.
“Sow the wind, reap the whirlwind.”
Yes. I’m surprised that there is any cell service by now. It also prevents Hamas from posting propaganda videos. Make the left wing reporters go into Gaza to get their sob stories
Just pour boiling water on your unwanted anthills.
No expensive nasty chemicals. Works every time.
I guess the koranaimals shouldn’t have been slaughtering babies nd raping children. Push them into the sea.
I can imagine the leaders of Iran are thrilled with these results. This is obviously what they wanted. While they are dropping bombs, a few dropped over Tehran would be good protocol.
