Israeli officials call for cutting energy and food supplies to Gaza

Collective Punishment is a War Crime

Israeli officials yesterday renewed their calls for cutting food and electricity supplies to the Gaza Strip as a punitive measure against Hamas and the area's residents.
Israel's Deputy Defence Minister Danny Danon stressed that it is important to pressure Hamas and the people of Gaza through cutting off electricity and bombing Gaza's power plant and destroying it completely.
In a radio interview yesterday Danon called on Netanyahu to cut off the electricity supplies that Israel provides to the power plant, and to prevent the flow of fuel, food and basic goods into Gaza.

That's what happens when you allow terrorists to be your leaders. Now war is here, and war is hell. Let Hamas surrender.

Wrong again jafar. The only collective punishment any of us....who are not you...see, is YOU, and your Failing Propaganda machine you depend upon to convince like-minded, other terrorist supporters like you.

The only recorded time Israel cut the Electricity remembered by the "Avatar" protest and that's because of debts of 800m ILS(about 233m USD) Which still never paid, water never blocked by Israel to Gaza and provided FREE, and about food and medical supplies Israel never blocked or interrupted delivery except by Sea which is blocked because of the smuggling issue.

That power plant should have been taken out as soon as the first rocket was fired from Gaza.

Then maybe the residents will wake up and remove the terrorists from their population.

On the downside, when Israel annexes Gaza, then they'd have to rebuild it... and that's expensive.

You are all ignoring the fact that collective punishment is a war crime according to the 4th Geneva convention. Why are you giving Israel a free pass when you wouldn't accept this from anyone else?

Wrong again.

The 4th Geneva Convention mentions collective punishment as reprisal killings against a whole city for the deeds of a few, and it gives Germany's Rape of Belgium as an example.

Whoever is putting these outlandish claims in your head isn't very bright, either, Jafar. You need to find a smarter Master Muzzie.

Besides that, Jafar, Gaza still has a power plant. This event hasn't happened, and here you are running around falsely claiming war crimes based on your inability to understand plain English.


But now that you mention Geneva War Crimes...

It is a War Crime by strapping bombs to children and sending them in to blow themselves up along with any civilians.

And indiscriminately firing rockets into cities.

And taking civilians hostage.

And executing civilians.

And using civilians as shields.

And murdering a Prisoner of War.

And using hospitals as ammunition depots.

Or using schools as ammunition depots.

Or using religious buildings as ammunition depots.

Here's something that's amusing - this is the Palestinian UN Ambassador, Ibrahim Khraishi about War Crimes a few days ago:

Dragging Israel before the International Criminal Court on accusations of war crimes is a non-starter, said a senior Palestinian official, because the Palestinians themselves are guilty of blatant war crimes.

“The missiles that are now being launched against Israel, each and every missile constitutes a crime against humanity, whether it hits or misses, because it is directed at civilian targets,” Ibrahim Khraishi (pictured), the Palestinian ambassador to the UN Human Rights Council, told Palestinian Authority TV last week.


By contrast, Khraishi said that Israel had very cleverly adhered to international rules of engagement, so even if the Palestinian death toll is higher, legally Israel is still in the right.

Pretty funny that you try to accuse Israel of War Crimes in an imaginary event, but here is the Palestinian Ambassador saying that they don't have a leg to stand on because Israel plays by the rules and the palestinans don't!

Good times, Jafar! Thanks for the laughs.

Not giving them a free pass - just holding terrorists accountable. You want to sit here and hold Israel accountable, but not a peep about terrorists.

Are those utility worker uniforms? Or did they dress up special for the occasion?

Terrorists wearing safety vests!

I find that very ironically funny.

NightTrain. As most of us have learned from the jafar propaganda posts. Those terrorists, like jafar. Wear Safety Vests to prevent their fellow terrorists from becoming confused, and either Mowing them down with AK's, or Beheading their friendly terrorists because they aren't smart enough to TELL THE DIFFERENCE?

Terrorists sabotaging power lines with a chop saw in the middle of the day wearing Day-Glo safety vests is just.... stupidly funny to me.

This kind of neighbors the Israeli settlements deal on daily basis, you can understand the love.

Good thing they have on their safety vest, heck with all the traffic there they may get run over
