There’s shutting the power off, and then there’s making sure it doesn’t come back on.

Why would Israel "target" the Gaza power grid? I thought that Israel supplied them with electricity. They should just need to shut off the power and water.

Me, too. Same question.

I believe it's something about the obligations under international law about the occupiers of a conquered territory. But, those laws say nothing about receiving hundreds of missiles of incoming fire.

That worked in Haj.

Palin, always the flirt, never the candidate.

...one never knows when a family may be purposely placed in harm's way to create a bloodbath that can be blamed on Israel...

[Chode]

bingo...

They might supply high voltage lines, but the transformers to step it down would be local. Blow them up and it would take months to get the juice back on. And it might shut down the water pumping system as well. Just speculatin'.

I can't believe people who don't even have an air force would be so stupid to attack a country that does. But then, they are stupid political tools of izzlam.

A blind mouse would have better luck attacking a hawk.

Poor Hamas....how dare the IDF fight back? The IDF is supposed to sit there and watch rockets from Gaza come and hit defenseless homes and families? What a miscalculation! I hope that the IDF levels every Hamas facility and keeps the pressure up until ZERO rockets are launched their way. Until then, invade, level and destroy. I cannot believe the Israelis have been so patient. Can you imagine 800 rockets in the last week being aimed at New York, Chicago or LA? I think we would do more than ask them to stop. As far as I am concerned, Israel should take back Gaza and the West Bank that they willingly gave up for future peace that never came to fruition.

Can’t Hamas stage more funerals and weddings?

Electricity is Ha-ram.

[Paladin2]

Baby!

(She's damaged goods based on the MSM trashing.)

[Ezekiel]

Don’t repair the grid after the war - electricity is a Jewish conspiracy to humiliate the noble Arab peoples.

Exactly right. We always hear about how wrong it is to expose primitive tribes to modern culture and technology because it would destroy the integrity and very existence of these peaceful peoples. They already inhabit vast swaths of desolate desert lands naturally free of power lines, water, and wifi. Let them prosper there with camel and hookah.

[Ezekiel]

lol, meant to ping you above. :)

[ROCKLOBSTER]

attempts to minimize civilian deaths have also been relatively successful

Why?

The dirtbags voted for Hamas didn't they?

[Slings and Arrows]

Let them prosper there with camel and hookah.

Don't forget the goats. Lonely place, the desert.

[Slings and Arrows]

Did The Profit (p*ss be upon him) use electricity? No!

[He also didn’t use RPGs and Semtex, but let’s not strain their po’ lil’ brains.]

[Paladin2]

The Jihadists are hypocrites and apostates if nothing else.

They need to eschew all things modern - nuclear devices most.

[Slings and Arrows]

Use it in good health.

That idiot MOhamMED was a retard.

No wait, that imbecile MOham MED was a moron.

Whatever.
