#2 "Israel views restricting fuel and electricity to Gaza as a way to pressure Palestinian armed groups to stop their rocket and suicide attacks," HRW's Middle East director Joe Stork said in a statement. "But the cuts are seriously affecting civilians who have nothing to do with these armed groups, and that violates a fundamental principle of the laws of war."

So I would take this to mean that HRW has absolutely no problem with the IDF blasting the shit out of Hamas as long as they keep the lights on, right?
Or would I be terrribly, terribly wrong?

Name them, you can't. Today's Hamas warrior is tomorrows "Dead Innocent Civilian". (As quick as they can pry the rifle out if his dead hands.)
