| Israeli shelling destroys Gaza power lines | |
| 2011-03-20 | |
[Ma'an] Israeli shelling on Saturday destroyed power lines providing electricity to the Gazoo Strip, said Electricity Company front man Jamal Ad-Dardasawi.
"By shelling these lines, the company has lost around 50 megawatts, leaving most of Gazoo's neighborhoods without electricity. Only 40 megawatts are left to be distributed across the city," he said. "In addition, the company lost more than 12 megawatts in the northern district after Israel shelled the line that provides the area with electricity." The front man said the company was working on bringing technicians in to rebuild the destroyed infrastructure. Gazoo's Interior Ministry said five were maimed, including a 3-year-old boy, as Israeli forces struck targets in the coastal enclave. Locals said the Israeli strikes targeted a security facility in Gazoo City's Shuja'iyya neighborhood. Meanwhile Israeli tanks targeted a mosque in the south, the Gazoo International Airport near Rafah, and the Shokat As-Sufi village, eyewitnesses said. The shelling came hours after huge kabooms were heard in the southern Gazoo City, apparently from Paleostinian launch pads as resistance fighters launched mortar shells at Israeli areas bordering the Gazoo Strip. Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,' military wing grabbed credit for the mortar attacks, and said the shelling came in response to Israel's "crimes and the ongoing air and ground strikes on the Gazoo Strip the latest of which targeted and killed two Hamas' fighters." Israel said 49 mortar bombs fell on or around Israeli communities near the border with the Gazoo Strip in the biggest violation yet of an informal truce snuffies declared in January. Army radio said only minor damage was caused but an Israeli military front man said two civilians were lightly maimed when three projectiles fell on Pithat Shalom in the Negev desert. | |

| #8 You hit a place full of sleeping people in the dark. You kill every man and grown boy you find, you round the women up and drive them off in herds for slaves, you keep the young girls for the young men, and you smash the babies brains out by swinging them by the heels against the wall. Then you burn the place. Anything worth taking is looted, the livestock, the household goods, the people worth ransoming if you think they will bring anything. And when you do give him back after the ransom is paid you castrate him first. No. We don't. |

| #7 Gotta Agree with Dribble that the Old and New testaments are bloody bloody. The back and forth between Gaza and Israel is a tad boring at this point, but a necessary pressure release valve on the tension cooking when being watched by the whole world and denied all that is primal and stark about Abrahamic monotheistic religions---the chance to smite your enemy. And in Chritianity, Judaism and Muslim religions, you smite your enemy. The stalemate can't last FOREVAH. Why? Logically Because Abrahamic monothesitic (Jewish, Christian and Muslim) religions all assert that their God is the one best version of God...coexistence cannot happen under this mindset taken to its final conclusion. In fact, the Jews wiped God's wife and all right out of the text because even she didn't "belong." The Bible and Old Testament, bloody bloody things. Uneasy standoffs might work in a multi-theistic cultures like the USA, but not over there not forevah. |

| #2 Can anyone here cite the Old Testament passage in the Book of Kings where David bids for the hand of princess Michel, daughter of King Saul, by giving Saul a bag with about 100 amputated Philistine penises and promises him another bag if he wants it? Yeah, its In There in black and white and you cant go PC on me for telling you it IS there. In fact, I may be underestimating the 100...it could have been more. Go look it up. How do you think wars are fought? There is no nice way to fight a war. You hit a place full of sleeping people in the dark. You kill every man and grown boy you find, you round the women up and drive them off in herds for slaves, you keep the young girls for the young men, and you smash the babies brains out by swinging them by the heels against the wall. Then you burn the place. Anything worth taking is looted, the livestock, the household goods, the people worth ransoming if you think they will bring anything. And when you do give him back after the ransom is paid you castrate him first. No? Yeah? Times have changed? Give me a kiss. |
