Let them light candles. No nation supplies its sworn enemies with food and fuel. Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudia et al can come to their assitance.

Just another feel good attempt by Israel to look tough. It will end as soon as the UN, US or some bleeding heart group says Israel is provoking misery for the Palestinians. If the Israel government really cared about protecting it's citizens it would take harsh action and keep the pressure on until that pressure reached the terrorist leaders. The terrorist leaders care little about their own people's misery so the pressure must be on the leaders.

Our 1%er government that has more interest in satiating the islamonazis and our own left wing will be gone in 3 months time. THEN a government truly of the people will remember that disengagement meant just that: our withdrawal from gaza was meant to be a first step test to make sure the islamonazis can live up to an agreement-they can not! So now let them face their own responsibilities-we have NO obligation to provide fuel, food, or any other items. hamass has an obligation to its people and they will have to fulfill it themselves. Had they chosen peace, perhaps other doors would have opened. But the choose perpetual war! Let them survive on their own.

Israel has got to be the only country in the world that actively aids the terrorists who are trying to destroy that country. No other country in the world supplies weapons, food, electricity, fuel, medicine and medical care, etc. to terrorist groups such as Hamas that are trying to destroy the country. Why do Jews feel so much guilt over things they do not need to be guilty for. You do not need to feel guilty over not helping terrorists who are trying to destroy you.

Dont ship them fuel! Who EVER heard that one should send thier sworn enemy fuel & even meds? Especially in middle of a conflict, NEVER! The USA bomb the hell out of Saddam & his army 1991 all fuel and food lines were cut off, tha Iraqis came climbing out of thier rat holes & surrendered, the same will happen here IF WE DONT GIVE IN TO THE CRUEL CRIES OF THE JEW HATERS IN THE UN & THE WORLD!

Now for the UN, NGO's condemnation at Israel. Hamas call for everybody to turn their lights off and bring out the candles for the foreign cameraman, pointless news articles to follow.

I have long advocated that IDF or israelis fire israeli kassems into gaza in return fire to balance terror.When gaza civilians en mass rush haniyeh, he may have to think twice about firing into israel.Yes, Mazzuzz has blocked it, yes barak and others have said idf won't do do return fire. Why not? Israelis should die first? Now Barak advocates discussing return fire. What a shmuck? He should be courtmartialled for military stupidity. What the IDf should do, is for every kassem, israel should fire its terror rockets, artillery, mortars and missiles from sea and air. Even waiting for the iron dome system is a dispaly of weakness. What is it about we jews? Our history is filled with this kind of begging and pleading of foreign masters. Defend your families. Fire! Yeh and Mazzuz, another beilin clone,he can't even indict the mother of all crooks olmert yet he is telling the idf what it can or cannot do. Anyways, it is clear why barak couldn't even be a servant to ariel sharon. He is one lousy land general who has no will to defend israel. He likes his tel aviv towers and his piano and that's about it. And Rabin? He made a mistake-ues- the whole oslo doesn't work with arabs- they are mafia clans brought up on assassin death culture and islamic brainwashing.Only hard truces work for a period of time. So the answer would be down the road a form of palestinian state arranged with jordan with a reference to the total land mass referred to in balfour. As for Gaza, they either should be incorporated into Egypt or a piece of sinai given to gaza to develop a gaza state. In the worst case, all arabs should be deported the hell out of there.

However, unfortunatelly, it wont last long, Israel is unrecognisable these days. It will certainly yield to foreign pressure, and so hamastan will continue its happy journey

They'd all get on that boat back to Cyprus.

If someone cut my power off I know what I would do. Palestinians must be the most unprovokable people in the world. The Israeli population should be grateful they arn't being targetted on a daily basis.

medical supplies and let them suffer. The electricity we give them is used to make kassams and mortars. Let the bastards suffer till they give up.Or let them starve to death. Why give them anything. It is like some wants to kill you,so you give him a loaded pistol.

Then you will have some blackouts. We are not required give them anything under any laws, so let's not do it already

What is the one strategy that can win? History has shown time and again that military confrontation does work. Israel could achieve military victory by eliminating or incarcerating Hamas’s leadership, not two or three a month (so that they are replaceable) but a few hundred at once. By breaking its command structure and its logistical apparatus, Hamas can be rendered inoperative. For this to happen, Israel and Western democracies must treat the terrorists’ mortal challenge as a war for survival, not as a series of skirmishes. And in war, you must fight to win, by all traditional means as analized (5 parts) at : http://xrl.us/biz8x

but firing Israeli Qassams into Gaza is not the answer. What distinguishes us Jews from the Palestinians is that we have a conscience. We don't fire rockets into random groups of civilians. What needs to be done is for Israel to stop supplying fuel, electricity, water, food and medical supplies to this enemy territory. Let them get these things from Egypt. Israel has to make it clear to the people of Gaza that the cutoff is because of the rockets so that the people will go to Hamas and demand that they stop being so damn stupid! And at the same time Israel needs to pound all Hamas positions with missiles. All members of Hamas should be targets. None of them are "politicians".

Agreed, but, aah, there's a Russian proverb: " if beans grew in your mouth, it would not be a mouth, but a vegetable garden!" So, if gazans were smart, but then how does a mouth become a vegetable garden. By the way, wasn't it Cyprus (or maybe Crete) where the Plishtim came from when the ancestors of the Greeks kicked them out?!?

Why is no one for the arab poor ladies and children? doesn't anyone consider their difficult plight. Well for certain the Israeli government won't let them down! We can be certain that when push comes to shove, the Liberal bleeding hearts of the Israeli government will find some pretense to let gas and oil in to Gaza and justify it by beating up some SETTLERS to show that they are to blame for all of Israel's problems.

When are they going to stop carrying out terror attacks and then demand Israel pay them for that terror attack in this case fuel. Olmert, Barak and Livni will of course cave in and send them all the fuel they ask because there is no such thing to standing up to an enemy or making a threat thats carried out. Why though is Israel supplying them with most of their electricity? We are having to invest millions of dollars in new power stations, there are already blackouts in parts of Israel sometimes but we not only give them the fuel to run their own power station but we then provide the rest of their power needs via the national grid which is costing Israel money. Why can't their arab brothers get involved, the Saudis keep dreaming up their own solutions to everything & they have the largest oil reserves in the world. Mubarak has apointed himself as being the man responsible for trying unite Fatah & Hamas and negotiating deals for Gilad so why cant Egypt provide them with fuel from the Sinai oil fields orginialy developed by Israeli business and stupidly given back to Egypt. Why cant the rest of their needs come from the Egyptian national grid, they love the palestinians so much and they are arabs but they of course dont want to be responsible for giving them anything thats going to cost Egypt any money and they also love a scheme that costs Israel money so they have us doing all the dirty work because they know we are all so stuipid we are happy to do it/ Israel can learn alot from the arabs, they put the interests of their own countries before anybody elses and they are great at propoganda so everbody loves them.

Don't worry but this Govt will make sure you have all the electricity and everything else you need in Gaza while you rain more rockets on Sderot and Ashkelon. Undoubtedly a major oversight by Barak & Livni which he will rectify immediately along with calls of apologies to the UN, the quartet and U.S

Israel!!!! just kidding but if you are unwilling to force victory onto your enemies why should they ever stop this never ending war of attrition????? WAKE UP ISRAEL!!!!

I have never understood why Israel never insisted that Egypt take Gaza back when it returned the Sinai to them. Egypt conveniently dropped this slum on our laps and has refused to take proper responsibility for their Arab brethren. And we let Egypt get away with it.

What would you know about the your Pal friends , eh? Concentrate on wondering about your soft life now Helen Clarke has got the arse. Apologists like you make the rest of us sick. Believe me you are a minority for good reason.
