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”
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
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.
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.
No matter which side you take in this conflict one thing is clear - the incompetence of Israel and IDF is staggering.
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.
It’s intentional.
So after Israel kills the last Palestinian- who’s next on their list?
it’s not like they’ll face any consequences for this genocide, so why not kick off another?!
They’re already killing civilians in Lebanon and Syria, so I’m pretty sure they’ve already identified their next steps.
You haven’t heard of greater Israel? They plan on expanding and expanding (even if the plan fundamentally is screwed now that people see through Israel)
Plenty of other Arab countries to choose from. Stay tuned!
Aside from—of course—Arabs, other Israeli Jews. The break between Orthodox Jews and liberal Jews is a whole thing; Israel’s (inevitable if you think about it) fall into fascism is progressing fast.
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…
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.
Sure, sure. Things under Harris would have been just as chaotic, incompetent, and bad for the Palestinians and Ukranians.
Ya got me.
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.
If you’re not American then you should learn to mind your own business
Nah.
The election was stolen. This was going to happen regardless.
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.
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 wont get anywhere with these guys.
‘Why cant I convince people Im right? Ive tried berating them, arguing in bad faith, harassing them, attacking their character. They just wont listen’ - Tankies
Which is why im not bothering. Nobody wants to believe bad actors at the top are solely responsible for this because they’re too invested in this culture war bullshit, that’s literally solely meant to keep us apart and keep those at the top in power. They’ll all see soon enough. Its gonna be so much worse.

Dammit Biden, how can you let this happen!?
What are you trying to accomplish?
This is so obvious sarcasm…
I’m surprised that they didn’t do this first.

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.
Next time don’t bite the hand that feeds you.
