Just days after the Israeli government announced it is seizing some $100 million in tax money from the Palestinian Authority to “punish” them for trying to join the International Criminal Courts (ICC), the Israeli state-run electric company has announced it will cut off electricity supplies to the Palestinians for non-payment.
The IEC claims the Palestinian Authority owes NIS645 million, or about $160 million, for past shipments, and that the company can’t keep sending the Palestinians electricity that they can’t pay for.
The IEC warned Israeli military and spy agencies of the planned cuts, saying it fears cutting off the electricity to PA territory would lead to “various responses by the Palestinian population.”
That’s putting it mildly, because even though the $100 million Israel stole from the Palestinians over the weekend isn’t going to the IEC, which is itself owned by the Israeli government, one can’t help but notice that is a big part of why they’re not going to be able to pay their debts.
What fine human beings…them israelis.
And America turned the hospital`s electricity off in Ramadi Iraq that killed most of the patients some while being operated on.
They are heartless beasts!! They belong in the 'pits of hell'!!
Stay strong Palestinians-stay strong!!!
They are just following what big brother taught them.
Please be specific – which is "big brother" and which is eager to learn, "little pr-ck"; they both claim to be the Chosen ones. Again no specificity as to chosen by whom?
Those that the gods would destroy, they first drive mad.
“US officials and Israeli president blast withholding of Palestinian tax revenues”
The above news can be found in The Guardian, but as it does not state that Israel is a criminal government committing a criminal action, as it does not point out that the President of Israel is doing absolutely nothing to end the crime, how can such propaganda be rightfully called the news?
Pretty soon it will be just like the Warsaw Ghetto when the Nazis made all kinds of excuses about "how dare they uprise against us?" "They killed our people, German security is paramount, and we will never allow those Warsaw terrorists to take us into account at Nuremberg".
Skip the ICC. Just lock this idiot up (and throw away the key).
I remember the US Congress carrying on like Pork Chops when the Russians threatened to cut the Gas of from Ukraine, I also notice NOTHING being said about Israel cutting off the power and withholding the money from Palestinians! Of course that is a double standard but what else is to be expected! Me I would love to be the one to broker a peace, sit there and just bang there heads together LITERALLY until there is an agreement that is also in accordance with International law, sadly they would consider the banging of heads together torture.
In all seriousness if it was to stop all the deaths there it would be worth it to be prosecuted myself for the crime of torture on the proviso that the agreement stands!
The ethnic cleansing in full effect. They won't stop until all the Palestinians are gone, dead, or in prison.
As a Jew, I just want to say I am ashamed of Israel. Deeply, deeply ashamed, and very very angry. Sorry, that is how I feel. I am a human being first. Judaism is a religion and Israel is a country. Not the same thing! The anti-Semite will not make that distinction. There is enough anti-semitism out there already without the despicable behavior of the Israeli government fanning the flames.
I hope to God that the ICC nails Netanyahu to the wall for war crimes. Cutting off the electricity to a civilian population …….because the are bringing war crime charges before an international body? Really now? If such charges have no merit than why be so upset? If the Israelis are so innocent and pure than would not the ICC find no basis for the claim upon investigation? (I am not really sure what there exactly is to investigate that is not plain for all with eyes to see?)
The biggest enemy of the Israeli people is their own government!
Keep digging that hole a little deeper, Israel. You may take away from Palestine, and the US may stand by do nothing, but I guarantee you some nation or entity will be more than willing to step up and fill that void. The question is, are you prepared to deal with whoever or whatever that turns out to be?
I think Israel wants the Palestinians to respond in order to paint them as the bad guys.Then they can point and say that the Palestinians are savage beast that can't be trusted to govern themselves. I think the Palestinians need to keep their cool and continue to appeal to Europe with its growing Muslim population and humanist values. If Israel didn't want a violent uprising which they can smack down like all the others then they wouldn't be cutting the electricity.
Hasn't made the msm of course. Now imagine the outrage if the Russians cut off the gas to the Ukraine…What a truly sick world we live in.
Gaza used to generate its own electricity – dependent on shipments of fuel from Israel. The Generating plant was destroyed by Israeli airstrikes and now Gaza depends on the Israelis to generate and transport electricity.
Patience Palestine, patience. Justice is coming. The Kingdom of God is at hand. The Islamic State is rising.
to be clear, the Palestine have been charging their population for electricity Israel gives the for free, they just don't transfer any $ to Israel. As a citizen of Israel, quite frankly, I am sick and tired of my humongous electric bill so Arabs have free electricity. The PA uses the saved $ to pay for more terrorist bonuses
