Israel says it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza. The full effects of that are not immediately clear, but the territory’s desalination plants receive power for producing drinking water.
Sunday’s announcement comes a week after Israel cut off all supplies of goods to the territory to over 2 million people. It has sought to press Hamas to accept an extension of the first phase of their ceasefire. That phase ended last weekend. Israel wants Hamas to release half of the remaining hostages in return for a promise to negotiate a lasting truce.
Hamas has pressed to start negotiations on the ceasefire’s more difficult second phase instead, which would see the release of remaining hostages from Gaza, the withdrawal of Israeli forces and a lasting peace. Hamas is believed to have 24 living hostages and the bodies of 35 others.
More collective punishment from the “good guys”
We’re moving towards doing the same thing to the US up here in Canada.
Just shit you gotta do when you’re dealing with fascists. Sorry, we can’t hurt Fox News without hurting all of NY. Things are gonna be shit when fsacists are running things where you live.
Except it’s NOWHERE near the same thing.
Palestine aren’t allowed to produce electricity itself or import it from anywhere else, so if Israel cuts off the electricity that means no electricity.
The majority of the population wasn’t even BORN (let alone old enough to vote) the last time an election was allowed.
Plus nobody is murdering, displacing, and otherwise ethnically cleansing the population of New York.
You’re basically comparing apples and Orange County.
Plus nobody is murdering, displacing, and otherwise ethnically cleansing the population of New York.
Isn’t that what ICE is doing right now?
Is ICE run by the Canadian government?
When did Canada put a concentration camp wall around the US and blockade their sea and air?
Canada is genociding Americans? Must have missed that in my border state.
Fuckk off with your bullshit.
This type of whataboutism makes you look silly
That’s an insanely brain dead statement. Did you take a drill to your temple earlier? If you did, you should finish and drill deeper.
Weird how everyone is insulting him but nobody is rebutting him.
Almost like he has a point, but the mob mentality isn’t allowed to acknowledge it so you just tar and feather him.
How else am I supposed to get the demons out?
Your inability to read is pretty obvious.
But Israel are the fascists in this scenario, yet they are doing the electricity curtailment…
Canada are the supposed “good guys”, and they are refusing electricity trading with the fascist Americans, not the other way around
Definitely Skateparkge on this one
Remind me when Canada occupied New York again?
During the war 1812 after the US attacked first, and even then only a little bit of rural northern New York.
America is evil tho
If this isn’t a troll may I suggest taking a critical reasoning course or two?
They’ve been at it for awhile so probably incapable of passing that type of course :(
“Someone says something I really don’t like but I can’t argue against, so I’m just going to claim they’re trolling.”
nope that isn’t it at all it’s just your reasoning doesn’t follow any logic it’s completely divorced for reality.
I’m not trying to be incendiary however to improve as a person it might do you well
Yeah, couldn’t imagine a world where you came clean about your shitty tactics.
consider for a moment that America is the aggressor in all these situations and have been attacking our sovereignty. we have no other choice than to respond in kind. we didn’t start this fight.
also consider that I’ve respected you every step of the way and you’ve been disrespectful
we have no other choice than to respond in kind. we didn’t start this fight.
I’m referring to you calling the other guy a troll just because he “said something you really don’t like but can’t argue against.”
also consider that I’ve respected you every step of the way and you’ve been disrespectful
Telling me reality isn’t reality is very disrespectful. It’s the same thing you did when you told him he’s trolling. Rather than present rational arguments, you say “I’m objectively right because you’re a troll or that’s divorced from reality.”
Come on man, use your words. Don’t be afraid. Or are you just trolling?
Yet another reminder that if a god does exist, they’re the type who likes burning ants with a magnifying glass.
Epicurus said it best:
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God
- Epicurus
Maybe god’s power isn’t absolute. He can do things, but it takes effort on his part and stops him from doing other things.
Then it’s not omnipotent. That’s literally the first point
And my counter to that would be: so? Maybe god’s power isn’t absolute. He can do things, but it takes effort on his part and stops him from doing other things.
I’ll never understand the anti-theist obsession with religion. They survey everything before them, scanning for signs of faith like a hawk searching for mice.
For me, one of the best things about atheism is I can automatically depreciate the significance of all that dumb shit.
This is an extraordinarily useful reply.
Thank you for that.
So after Israel kills the last Palestinian- who’s next on their list?
it’s not like they’ll face any consequences for this genocide, so why not kick off another?!
They’re already killing civilians in Lebanon and Syria, so I’m pretty sure they’ve already identified their next steps.
You haven’t heard of greater Israel? They plan on expanding and expanding (even if the plan fundamentally is screwed now that people see through Israel)
No matter which side you take in this conflict one thing is clear - the incompetence of Israel and IDF is staggering.
It’s not incompetence, it’s a racist state where the majority see Palestinians as sub-human.
Yes op making it like some minister are stupid and there are some good apple,while they publicly say we want to level it to the ground and drop equivalent to 6 Hiroshima bombs on the region.
Their entire history built on massacre after another.
It’s intentional.
I’m surprised that they didn’t do this first.
Dammit Biden, how can you let this happen!?
I’m surprised that the Palestinians, who have been mortal enemies of the Israelis for millennia, depend on Israel for electricity with no back up plan. And I’m surprised that anyone thinks Israel is obligated to provide that for them. I get that innocent people will die, and that’s a tragedy. I don’t think it’s good for Israel to cut off electricity. But Gaza knew that they depend on Israel for vital services before they attacked Israel. So Gaza really brought this tragedy on themselves. Fuck around, find out.
Israel doesn’t allow Palestinians to have their own electrical grid or potable water service. Israel controls everything in the West Bank and Gaza.
Thank god all the lefites stayed home on election day or this would have happened.
If you don’t think this would’ve happened under Harris, I’ve got a great opportunity for you to make some money on crypto.
Sure, sure. Things under Harris would have been just as chaotic, incompetent, and bad for the Palestinians and Ukranians.
Ya got me.
It’s almost as nothing happened between October 7th 2023 and November 5th 2024…
Their moral convictions stayed intact thank god. Well worth…checks notes…literal human lives.
Why don’t you ever blame the people voting for establishment politicians?
They’re also sticking to their moral convictions at the cost of human lives since it’s becoming clear that the “fall in line crowd” actually isn’t falling in line.
Perhaps the people voting for establishment politicians should take their turn “falling in line” if they care so much about human lives? They’d have to sacrifice some of their greed and entitlement though! I don’t think it will happen in my lifetime.
What of the tens of thousands of dead and mutilated Palestinians at the hands of American bombs, jets, and funding from October '23 to January '25? If those deaths don’t matter to you then why do these deaths matter to you? Or could it be that you don’t really care either way and just want to use it as a political football?
Im not even American. Dont rope me in your weird-ass political posturing.
Obviously it was bad before but now its even worse and its worse for the rest of the world too.
Dont lecture me.
If you’re replying to a comment with weak ass arguments you have to expect a slap back or just stfu.
You roped yourself into “political posturing” with your previous comment doing exactly that.
I don’t know how genocide becomes “even worse.” Care to explain that or is it that “its worse for the rest of the world too” and now that you’re personally affected it, it’s suddenly an issue.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.
You lost because you commented without thinking. You thought your instinctual response was good enough, it wasn’t.
Get used to it.
I wasnt aware it was a game to lose. Thats the problem with you Americans. You treat everything like a football game.
The election was stolen. This was going to happen regardless.
You’re half right
This was going to happen regardless (Harris is a supporter of Israel’s actions), but the election was not stolen.
The evidence is out there. You don’t have to believe it, but it 100% was stolen.
Give some semblance of proof or you’re no better than the election deniers from 4 years ago. Hell, without even a theory you’re even worse.
I’m not here to convince anyone, just here to comment. You’re free to do your own research. There’s tons of evidence and its going to be even more obvious come midterms.
Also, why do you think they were so vocal about pushing that narrative last go around? Because they knew with what they were planning, people wouldn’t want to speak up for fear of precisely what you’re doing. Fuck that noise.
You’re free to do your own research
And now you’re taking a page from the anti-vax movement. No. I don’t prove your points, you do that yourself. Should be pretty easy if it’s so clearly happening.
