#2 Cut off the water and all this crap will quickly end. Them losing 25% of their power is nothing.

#3 "We have the choice to either cut electricity on babies in the maternity ward or heart surgery patients or stop operating rooms," Gaza Health Ministry official Dr. Moaiya Hassanain said.

Horse$hit. They get plenty of fuel to run the important stuff. The cretins just choose to give it to the guy who shells out the most shekels for it. More money in the appropriate minister's pocket that way, you see.

Also, doesn't Egypt supply plenty of power to run all the essential stuff? If not, they could always increase what they supply by just running a few distribution lines to tie their grids together better.

But then again, words are cheaper than power lines and power for their Arab brothers and sisters.

#4 And the same things happen here when there's a budget crunch - police get laid off and schools close, but nary a city hall or county courthouse official feels the pinch. Politicians are the same everywhere.

#5 Related Subject: Why haven't the Israeli's bought or borrowed a couple of those naval Gatling guns we use to defend the Green Zone in Iraq. Too cheap, too proud or too much politics?

#7 If anyone deserves to shiver in the dark, it's the idiot residents of Gaza.

#8 "They do heart surgery in Gaza?"
