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.
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.
This type of whataboutism makes you look silly
America is evil tho
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.
Without electricity, Palestine has no clean water to drink or with which to water crops. This combined with Israel blocking aid, having partially or completely destroyed most if not all hospitals and killed most healthcare workers, guarantees that the already atrocious ongoing humanitarian catastrophe is going to get MUCH worse.
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?
Spoiler for M Knight Shyamalan’s upcoming political thriller Capitol Hill Has Ayes.
Canada is genociding Americans? Must have missed that in my border state.
Fuckk off with your bullshit.
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.”
nope that isn’t it at all it’s just your reasoning doesn’t follow any logic it’s completely divorced for reality.
I’m not trying to be incendiary however to improve as a person it might do you well
Yeah, couldn’t imagine a world where you came clean about your shitty tactics.
consider for a moment that America is the aggressor in all these situations and have been attacking our sovereignty. we have no other choice than to respond in kind. we didn’t start this fight.
also consider that I’ve respected you every step of the way and you’ve been disrespectful
I’m referring to you calling the other guy a troll just because he “said something you really don’t like but can’t argue against.”
Telling me reality isn’t reality is very disrespectful. It’s the same thing you did when you told him he’s trolling. Rather than present rational arguments, you say “I’m objectively right because you’re a troll or that’s divorced from reality.”
Come on man, use your words. Don’t be afraid. Or are you just trolling?
no, you’ve assumed i can’t because i refused to argue.
there are times when people arguments are so divorced from the actual facts that it is better not to engage. this was one of those times.
arguing with someone only works when that person is making those points in good faith which this person wasn’t.
they liken two entirely different situations they said points which were categorically untrue and then they tied it up with whataboutism.
so I say again I think they could use a critical reasoning course
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.
What is there to rebute? My guy basically shit on the floor and said, argue against that. Chances are, it’s just your alt account.
How else am I supposed to get the demons out?
Your inability to read is pretty obvious.
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.
