I'd love to know why the attorney-general is on the side of the militants.

Of course, but do it gradually. One hour a day this week, two hours a day next week, and so on, until they Islamic terrorists get the idea.
Let them find some other sugar daddy, and not expect their victims to supply them with ammunition.

Hamas won the democratic election, making them the government and voice of the Palestinian people. Cutting off power to Gaza is no more collective punishment than the US invading Germany in WW II. The elected government had proven hostile and is effectively in a war with Israel. Why should Israel provide such a hostile entity with basic resources? It is to Israel's credit that it cares enough about innocent civilians that it does not cease all supply lines, as that is really the only justification for anything getting through.
As of right now, the Palestinian people have chosen their own destiny. They elected Hamas thinking that that was the road of redemption. Until there is a new election, that result stands. I can only assume that the Palestinian people have learned that aggression and terrorism will not achieve anything, but I will not assume that to any practical gain without an election proving it.

I am a Jewish American and have never been to Israel or to Gaza. Isn't Gaza on the border with Egypt? When is Egypt going string power lines into Gaza, thereby ending the electrical problems that seem to be in that area?

Gamla Joe puts it the best, in my opinion.
I'd really like to know why Egypt or any of the other Muslim countries can't help Gaza. As for Israel cutting the power: yes, I think that should happen. It is utterly crazy, no in fact it's obscene for the Israelis to be supplying power to the people who are attacking them.
I do realise cutting the power might be seen as cruel but perhaps this is ultimately the only way that the terrorists will understand that Israel is not going to put up with her people being attacked.

It is ironic isn't it.
For decades Israel was told it was illegally occupying Gaza then when Israel pulled out just how they wanted Israel is blamed for the rise of Hammas to power. Then when they want to stop wasting taxpayers money by giving free power to Gaza they get condemned by the word.
So just to get this straight, Israel should not be occupying Gaza, it is at fault if anything bad happens in Gaza, and it is responsible for paying for basic utilities even though they dont pay taxes, and many of them are responsible for launching rockets at Israeli territory.
Only in Israel can this "logic" make any sense.

The attorney general is not on the side of militants, he is on the side of civilians. He wants Israel to make sure that the power cut offs would be a non-lethal deterrent . So he wants to make sure it won't cut off power to Hospitals or anything critical to human survival.

cutting the power off to Gaza is childplay in comparison to what Gaza has been doing to israel over the past few years.
put cutting off electricity on one side and then put sending out sucide bombers, terrorists etc on the other side and tell me if they didn't have this coming.......
if it was up to me i'd just bomb the place till there wasn't enough pieces left of Gaza to fill up a match box!

The less Israel has to do with Gaza, the better.
Separate from Gaza. They should be responsible for their own electricity, water, etc.

BUT , i live near to gaza strip , and after a 7 years of missiles that flaying on my house , waking up to an alarm that shout: red dawn -red dawn!!!!
my judgment is changing , thinking on my family , on my friend's here in the village, and especially my friend's that still in the army(allot) , my inner voice tell me that we should bomb the hell out of them!!!! and if not bombing... cutting off their elect'..
i try to think on the other side allways... i under stand why they throw the missile's.. it's their why, maybe the only why to resist us! i respect this.. i think that if i was a palas' i do the same.
but still i'm on the other side i am israeli. i will protect my country no matter what, and if we need to cut their power source, count me in!!

Palestinians are being hypocritical. They demand independence, yet when the Jews left and Hamas took over they flooded onto the Israeli border begging to be let in. Then they complain that Israel doesn't give them work visas. Now they complain that Israel doesn't give them FREE electricity. Do they really want independence or do they just want to leech off Israel?

Israel is still occupying Gaza economically, control Gaza borders with rest of the world.
Cutting power on Gaza will be seen as a collective
punishments to civilians.
To paperbac and the rest Israel will not allow Egypt or any other country to supply Gaza with anything. That will be the day when Gaza is free to deal with the rest of the world. I hope this point is clear to every one.
