Government to Vote on Supplying Electricity to Gaza
The government will vote Sunday on a proposal to supply electricity from Israel to the Gaza Strip, in order to resume electricity to the area after an Israel Air Force strike on a Palestinian power station there.
If approved, the Israel Electric Corporation will erect special electrical lines stretching from Israel into Gaza. According to government sources, Sunday’s vote follows days of international pressure.
The Gaza Strip requires 200 megawatts of electricity, half of which is provided by the power station, and half which is supplied by the Israel Electric Corporation. After the IAF strike, the power station’s capacity was cut by half.
Commentary;
Why does the Olmert regime stubbornly assert the existence of outside pressure to maintain electric, water, telephone service rather than fighting a vicious, murderous foe as they are and with all available assets? But alas, defending Jews is secondary to the main purpose of this regime; maintaining itself, maintaining it’s dogmas, asserting Jewish rights to Jewish land and separating Israelis from their Jewishness, even if it means perpetuating itself as the world’s laughing-stock and epitome of hypocracy.
