1. 60 rockets sent by hamas in gaza this past week
(03.15.14)
so, no power to you!
2. Next time think twice about such stupid acts!
Mira ,   Vienna   (03.15.14)
Every rocket will be retaliated with one day without electricity, maybe the population will eventually stand up against you! Morons like Hamas make me having second thoughts about the accuracy of Darwins Evolution theories!
3. Good!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.15.14)
Israel should not be in the business of enabling its mortal enemies. When Gazans learn to act like human beings, they will be treated like human beings.
4. A way out of the predicament: Make peace with Arab Egypt and
N.L.Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (03.15.14)
Jewish Israel. This will not only ensure normal life in the territory but the beginning of a thriving life for its Arab population. But, sadly, some value conflict and strife over an accommodation of peaceful coexistence with liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people; and, the present non-Islamist regime in Egypt. P.S. Technically, Gaza is a territory to be govern by Mr. Mahmoud Abbas's Palestinian Authority.....
5. 3 Sarah B....dont count on it !

6. Electricity shut down in Gaza
zambartut ,   Florida   (03.15.14)
Now if Israel will shut down the water supply, everyone will be happy. Please, please, please, Natanyahu, do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nigel ,   london   (03.15.14)
Surely firing missiles at every town they can is an attempt at collective punishment. There is a cause and effect here, The cause - aiming to kill Israelis - effect- live in the dark Stop firing missiles, power will come back on. Surely a simple equation
8. As predicted, Hamas abuses "Summits"..... to launch rockets
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (03.15.14)
9. Gaza power plant shuts down
Harold ,   USA   (03.15.14)
And Israel always says Gaza is not occupied. LOL
10. Hmm, ineffectual rockets or electricity?
BUILD BABY BUILD   (03.15.14)
Seems Hamas again made the wrong decision. They say jealousy is a green eyed monster, this monster;s now in the dark with rockets they can't eat. I love it. A holes !!!! RESTING TODAY, NO BUILDING, IT'S SABBATH.
11. Let them Burn Their Rocket Fuel
(03.15.14)
To power gaza!!! Have they paid their electric bill???
12. Just do it!
BUILD BABY BUILD   (03.15.14)
and, no more bargain Hummus for the pal lunatics who don't know the difference between rockets and wheat bread. Resting.. Sabbath!
13. Each home needs solar powered generators since there is
Rivkah   (03.15.14)
lots of sunshine in Gaza. Get the ones with a hand crank in case of rain from Jim Bakker Show on tv.
14. 6 Zambartut: The Gazans need Ecoloblu machines to pull
(03.15.14)
water out of the air that filters it, too, in case the water is shut off to Gaza.
15. Oh Gee, That's Too Bad
emanon ,   USA   (03.15.14)
Guess they will have to burn rocket fuel and gun powder, Hamas always seems to have plenty of that. I guess that shows where the arab priorities are.
16. 9 , harold , if gaza was occupied
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.15.14)
there would be fuel and electricity
17. To: Alsky at No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.15.14)
I know what you mean. I don't think they're capable of ever learning to behave like civilized human beings, either. I don't think Israel should supply them with free electricity, either. Let them sit in the dark. I'd cut off fresh water supplies, too. Let Egypt pick up the slack. As if!
18. Harold # 9
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (03.15.14)
Just the sort of thing a fool would laugh at. Keep laughing Harold... the joke is going to be on you.
19. #9 Stop paying your electric bill to your adopted "mother",
A ,   Belgium   (03.15.14)
meaning the United States, and we'll see how long it takes for us to be relieved of your asinine comments because there is no electricity flowing into your computer. Who is America occupied by?
20. #16
Harold ,   USA   (03.15.14)
What you call it when Gaza has no access to sea, air and land travel to any country. What you are stating is Gazan are free. Wise-up
21. IF, they didn't grab the fuel money, etc.
Jewdo & Jewjitsu ,   AMERICA THE BEAUTIUL   (03.16.14)
The money for fuel was already donated by the EU/USA/Israel...The money never got to the pay window at the power station and it never will... It was skimmed off with the rest of the "beggars' gold" into some NON ELECTED LEADERS' pockets. Get rid of these problem "Takers", get rid of the fuel loss problem once and for all...
22. Israel delivers fuel to Gaza again
GS ,   Germany   (03.16.14)
Kerem Shalom will be open up from Sunday.
23. Gaza is occupied....................
Ben S ,   Free World   (03.16.14)
BY ZOMBIES !!!!!!!!!
24. Harold . This is not occupation , it's defense
Charles ,   Petach Tikva   (03.16.14)
against terrorists . You apparently don't know what occupation means .If there would be Israeli forces in Gaza , then you were right , but this is not the case .
25. Stupid Gazans
Reuven Brauner ,   Raanana, Israel   (03.16.14)
They ought to just stop shooting rockets at innocent people, and allow the Jews to return to Gush Katif et al, and then they will be warm on cold nights. If they want peace, they can have it. If they want war, that will come, too.
26. censored
william ,   canada   (03.17.14)
I can not find any mention of a shooting incident by Gaza or Israel,on any Canadian News totally censored...!
