ABC News: Bombarded by Israeli airstrikes, conditions in Gaza grow more dire as power goes out
Gaza authorities are warning of a humanitarian crisis.
With communities across the Gaza Strip already laid to waste by a relentless barrage of airstrikes in retaliation for the Hamas surprise attack on Israel, conditions for Palestinians grew even more dire on as the only power plant ran out of fuel, leaving the territory with no electricity and running water, officials said.
The shutdown Wednesday of the Gaza Electricity Power Plant plunged the 140 square miles comprising the Gaza Strip into darkness Wednesday night and is creating "a humanitarian crisis" for the 2.3 million residents who live there, making it "impossible to continue providing all basic life services, all of which depend on electricity," Gaza authorities said in a statement.

It is what the Brits did to the Boers in South Africa or the yanks did to the indians on the reservation.
It is called genocide.
Two wrongs do not make a right.
Egypt is committing genocide,
Liberal. Blame the gun and not the person pulling the trigger. Halfwit

I love people who decapitate babies.
It's not genocide at all , play stupid games win stupid prizes. Those engaged in genocide do not call you to leave your house, or give you a heads up on Facebook.
It's time for Palestinians to route hamas out themselves
Fuck them.
They won’t route them out because they support them. But as you said play stupid games win stupid prize’s
"Gaza authorities are warning of a humanitarian crisis."
"Gaza authorities" - you mean Hamas? They are the "authorities" in Gaza, and they were voted in by the people of Gaza--the Palestinians.
Perhaps they should have thought of the "humanitarian crisis" before they murdered/massacred 1,000 Israeli women and children.
The Palestinians deserve everything they are getting, and will get into the future. Perhaps the Israeli's will do the world a favor and keep bombing until all the Palestinians are gone from this planet, because they are the worst of the worst.
note that in the West Bank, voices are saying this and that but they are joining in with Hamas.
Yep, and l can't beleive that their is even debate on this .
Oh Joy!
Dis Dat has joined the thread. He makes the bestest arguments using the mostest impeccable logic!
