| Erekat calls for int'l intervention against Gaza electricity cuts |
| 2007-10-26 |
| Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat appealed for international intervention and called the Israeli decision to cut off electricity to Gaza after each Kassam rocket "particularly provocative given that Palestinians and Israelis are meeting to negotiate an agreement on the core issues for ending the conflict between them." Defense Minister Ehud Barak's approval earlier Thursday of an IDF plan to impose sanctions on the Gaza Strip in wake of the escalation in Kassam rocket attacks, was the first step, defense officials told The Jerusalem Post, towards a "complete disengagement" including the gradual reduction in Palestinian dependency on Israel for gas and electricity. During his weekly security meeting on Thursday Barak approved the plan that had been formulated by Deputy Defense Minister Matan Vilna'i and Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj.-Gen. Yosef Mishlav in line with the recent cabinet decision that defined Gaza as a "hostile entity." |

| #7 Watch the hand,not the mouth. Until the attacks stop, it's just propoganda. |

| #6 Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat appealed for international intervention and called the Israeli decision to cut off electricity to Gaza after each Kassam rocket "particularly provocative given that Palestinians and Israelis are meeting to negotiate an agreement on the core issues for ending the conflict between them." Erekat talks as if those previous negotiations were actually respected by the Palestinians. Taqiyya only works for so long and then those who use it are placed on "ignore". Saeb's piehole needs to be shut with a .50 caliber round. The one sure lesson that the Palestinians have taught this world is how totally useless it is to negotiate with any Muslim. |

| #5 Next turn off the gas, then the water. Then move the fence in at 1/2 km increments. |
