#2 Hit the main transformers AND the switchgear. That stuff has long lead times for replacement.

#3 Yesterday we were supposed to be outraged because it would take months for the poor Palestinians to restore their power. I guess that was a worst-case estimate.

#4 Boom boom, out go the lights! Enjoy your caliphate lifestyle, @ssholes.

#5 You can almost tick off the centuries as they lose
electricity
water
sewage
gas pumps
refrigeration
emergency services
hospitals
schools
"government"
and the all-important over-amplified call to prayers...

Yep, if Olmert doesn't suddenly get all stupid and squishy, ol' "civilization", which was a boggle to the Paleos to begin with, just slips into the Paleo rear-view mirror.

*sniff*

How ya like that democracy thing, Pals? Works great - unless you're stupid and use it to blow your own head off.

LOL.

#6 knocking out the electric is so, with the lights out, the nightvision equipped IDF rules the streets at night. Once the Israelis have done what they need to do, theyll cooperate with turning the lights back on.

The goal isnt to send the Pals back to the 7th C, but to bring them into the 21st. Or at least the 20th. Or at least the 19th.

#7 Knocking out the lights has an inescapable downside. Remember the population boom on the East Coast a few years back that was attributed to the "brown outs." Personally, I'd like to see the Gaza lit up like the sun, with matching sun surface temps.

#8 Ever the optimist, liberhawk?

I don't see anything to be optimistic about regards bringing the Paleos anywhere. After 60 years of endless hate machine society - it has only become more hateful, virulent, self-destructive, and determined to implode - and take as much of Israel with them as possible.

At least that's how it looks to me.

Good luck with that optimism. :)

#9 Oops, liberalhawk. Sorry. :)

#10 Look like a classic strategic assault to me. Course the IDF skipped over the air-supremacy phase.

#11 It's hard to have any sympathy for these people - they make the worst life-decisions every single time they have a chance to change things for the better.

Every .... single .... time.

Ah f*ck it - I care not about these people any more. Kill the electricity (how is it generated anyhow? does it come from Israel?). They lost any 'sympathy' I ever had for them by killing that pregnant woman and her children, and then shooting her in the stomach after she was dead.
