Israel says it is cutting off its electricity supply to Gaza. The full effects of that are not immediately clear, but the territory’s desalination plants receive power for producing drinking water.
Sunday’s announcement comes a week after Israel cut off all supplies of goods to the territory to over 2 million people. It has sought to press Hamas to accept an extension of the first phase of their ceasefire. That phase ended last weekend. Israel wants Hamas to release half of the remaining hostages in return for a promise to negotiate a lasting truce.
Hamas has pressed to start negotiations on the ceasefire’s more difficult second phase instead, which would see the release of remaining hostages from Gaza, the withdrawal of Israeli forces and a lasting peace. Hamas is believed to have 24 living hostages and the bodies of 35 others.

No matter which side you take in this conflict one thing is clear - the incompetence of Israel and IDF is staggering.
It’s intentional.
It’s not incompetence, it’s a racist state where the majority see Palestinians as sub-human.
Yes op making it like some minister are stupid and there are some good apple,while they publicly say we want to level it to the ground and drop equivalent to 6 Hiroshima bombs on the region.
Their entire history built on massacre after another.
More collective punishment from the “good guys”
We’re moving towards doing the same thing to the US up here in Canada.
Just shit you gotta do when you’re dealing with fascists. Sorry, we can’t hurt Fox News without hurting all of NY. Things are gonna be shit when fsacists are running things where you live.
America is evil tho
This type of whataboutism makes you look silly
If this isn’t a troll may I suggest taking a critical reasoning course or two?
They’ve been at it for awhile so probably incapable of passing that type of course :(
“Someone says something I really don’t like but I can’t argue against, so I’m just going to claim they’re trolling.”
Except it’s NOWHERE near the same thing.
Palestine isn’t allowed to produce electricity itself or import it from anywhere else, so if Israel cuts off the electricity that means no electricity.
The majority of the population wasn’t even BORN (let alone old enough to vote) the last time an election was allowed.
Plus nobody is murdering, displacing, and otherwise ethnically cleansing the population of New York.
You’re basically comparing apples and Orange County.
Plus nobody is murdering, displacing, and otherwise ethnically cleansing the population of New York.
Isn’t that what ICE is doing right now?
Is ICE run by the Canadian government?
That’s an insanely brain dead statement. Did you take a drill to your temple earlier? If you did, you should finish and drill deeper.
Weird how everyone is insulting him but nobody is rebutting him.
Almost like he has a point, but the mob mentality isn’t allowed to acknowledge it so you just tar and feather him.
How else am I supposed to get the demons out?
Your inability to read is pretty obvious.
Canada is genociding Americans? Must have missed that in my border state.
Fuckk off with your bullshit.
When did Canada put a concentration camp wall around the US and blockade their sea and air?
Remind me when Canada occupied New York again?
During the war 1812 after the US attacked first, and even then only a little bit of rural northern New York.
Yet another reminder that if a god does exist, they’re the type who likes burning ants with a magnifying glass.
I have serious theories on this that I think other cultures have tried to tackle.
Epicurus said it best:
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God
- Epicurus
Maybe god’s power isn’t absolute. He can do things, but it takes effort on his part and stops him from doing other things.
Then it’s not omnipotent. That’s literally the first point
And my counter to that would be: so? Maybe god’s power isn’t absolute. He can do things, but it takes effort on his part and stops him from doing other things.
I’ll never understand the anti-theist obsession with religion. They survey everything before them, scanning for signs of faith like a hawk searching for mice.
For me, one of the best things about atheism is I can automatically depreciate the significance of all that dumb shit.
Because it’s a blight on society, and it cripples people’s ability to think critically.
We are living in the results of a society founded on and formed by Christianity. It’s bad.
I actually disagree. I think most people who share your view of religion come at it from a fundamental point of misunderstanding.
Don’t get me wrong, most devout followers of religions also have fundamental misunderstandings. People like you tend to be unwilling to learn though and immediately jump to trying to invalidate the experiences and reasonings of others.
I’d say it’s coming from a position of fear more than anything else. You’re afraid of what you don’t know and rather than admit you could be wrong about something, you double-down and cover your ears. It’s an easy response to have. It’s harder to open your mind and accept that the people you disagree with might know more about something than you do.
Its the “chosen by god to save your souls” fervor probably, which gives the licence to fuck everybody’s lives.
This is an extraordinarily useful reply.
Thank you for that.
So like the god of the bible then?
No no, that’s the one with sending bears to maul children for… calling a bald guy “bald”.
And the one that sends gay people and the people that shop on sundays to hell and sees both as sins as bad as each other but has no problem with slavery.

Israel doesn’t allow Palestinians to have their own electrical grid or potable water service. Israel controls everything in the West Bank and Gaza.
They don’t let them have an airport either. They bombed it even before the 7th oct.
Dammit Biden, how can you let this happen!?
What are you trying to accomplish?
This is so obvious sarcasm…
Thank god all the lefites stayed home on election day or this would have happened.
If you don’t think this would’ve happened under Harris, I’ve got a great opportunity for you to make some money on crypto.
It’s almost as nothing happened between October 7th 2023 and November 5th 2024…
Their moral convictions stayed intact thank god. Well worth…checks notes…literal human lives.
Why don’t you ever blame the people voting for establishment politicians?
They’re also sticking to their moral convictions at the cost of human lives since it’s becoming clear that the “fall in line crowd” actually isn’t falling in line.
Perhaps the people voting for establishment politicians should take their turn “falling in line” if they care so much about human lives? They’d have to sacrifice some of their greed and entitlement though! I don’t think it will happen in my lifetime.
What of the tens of thousands of dead and mutilated Palestinians at the hands of American bombs, jets, and funding from October '23 to January '25? If those deaths don’t matter to you then why do these deaths matter to you? Or could it be that you don’t really care either way and just want to use it as a political football?
Or could it be that you don’t really care either way and just want to use it as a political football?
I think we’ve found the answer!
Im not even American. Dont rope me in your weird-ass political posturing.
Obviously it was bad before but now its even worse and its worse for the rest of the world too.
Dont lecture me.
You roped yourself into “political posturing” with your previous comment doing exactly that.
I don’t know how genocide becomes “even worse.” Care to explain that or is it that “its worse for the rest of the world too” and now that you’re personally affected it, it’s suddenly an issue.
Whatever helps you sleep at night, I guess.
You lost because you commented without thinking. You thought your instinctual response was good enough, it wasn’t.
Get used to it.
If you’re not American then you should learn to mind your own business
If you’re replying to a comment with weak ass arguments you have to expect a slap back or just stfu.
The election was stolen. This was going to happen regardless.
Give some semblance of proof or you’re no better than the election deniers from 4 years ago. Hell, without even a theory you’re even worse.
I’m not here to convince anyone, just here to comment. You’re free to do your own research. There’s tons of evidence and its going to be even more obvious come midterms.
Also, why do you think they were so vocal about pushing that narrative last go around? Because they knew with what they were planning, people wouldn’t want to speak up for fear of precisely what you’re doing. Fuck that noise.
You’re free to do your own research
And now you’re taking a page from the anti-vax movement. No. I don’t prove your points, you do that yourself. Should be pretty easy if it’s so clearly happening.
I’m not trying to prove a point. I commented on a post and now you’re harassing me. Step off.
🤣
You’re half right
This was going to happen regardless (Harris is a supporter of Israel’s actions), but the election was not stolen.
The evidence is out there. You don’t have to believe it, but it 100% was stolen.
Blueanon confirmed.
Every day you become more like MAGA.
