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.

Israel doesn’t allow Palestinians to have their own electrical grid or potable water service. Israel controls everything in the West Bank and Gaza.
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.
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 :(
This type of whataboutism makes you look silly
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.
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.
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.

Isn’t that what ICE is doing right now?
Is ICE run by the Canadian government?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
Thank god all the lefites stayed home on election day or this would have happened.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
Every day you become more like MAGA.
Dammit Biden, how can you let this happen!?
What are you trying to accomplish?
