#1 So now they're sitting in the dark -- no antisemitic cartoons for the children, no hate-filled rants for the adults, no news of the brave Lions of Islam heroically beating back the Zionist invaders... and the refrigerator won't remain cold for more than a few hours, even if the children don't keep opening the door to get a drink, and they haven't been able to get petrol to fuel the back-up generator for simply ages! Nonetheless, this isn't the threat to life that cutting off the water would be, which should keep the EU, Muslims, and other sympathizers quiet for a while...

Good.

#5 Is it night over there now? I can never remember -- only that it used to take Mr. Wife about 18 hours to get there.

#6 Have they taken the power out before? This seems like a more serious event than any I can remember. Goodness knows how long it will take the Paleos to get it back on...

#7 Yes. It's about 4 in the morning there, I believe.

#8 From an AP article: The attack raised the specter of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, as water pumps in the strip are powered by electricity.

I guess when your society is hanging by a thread, you should try to avoid provoking your well-armed neighbor, eh?

#9 I hope they torched the power plant and didn't just disable it. Wreck the place and keep it wrecked.

#12 I wonder how they like passing out their candy in the fucking dark. You mess with the bull, you get the horns.

#13 Laurence, Fox indicated that the three "functioning" turbines and a gasoline reservoir were completely engulfed in flames; whatever passes for firefighters in paleo-land are unable to do anything but watch it all burn.

#14 Scooter - Excellent... I need to turn on the TV and have a virtual marshmellow roast. :)

#15 #1 & #4. Without electricity to pump water, I bet it's already cut off. And if they have sewer systems at all and if they use lift stations, things might get a whole lot smellier.

#16 Cut the water too.

Force them out leave only a coridor to the west bank left open for them the the Gaza strip.

It's over and it's not "the Jew's" fault.
