Israel to Cut off Gaza Electricity

In an attempt to stop the Qassam salvos, Israel is limiting Gaza's power supply. Which is merciful, trust me. For far fewer, although much more damaging, rocket attacks on their cities, the British took upon themselves the task of redesigning the city plans of Dresden and Hamburg, regardless of civilians, cultural heritage, history, and other such "insignificant" factors. Were it the British at the receiving end, Gaza would have been flattened into a pancake a long long time ago. However, since we are only Israelis, and most of us Jews, our blood and suffering have always come rather cheap. I mean, hey, have we not always been considered somewhat inferior? Expendable? Why change that now, when the whole world can identify with the plight of the humiliated Palestinians whose precious humanitarian aid has just been hijacked by ... care to take a guess? No? Never mind, I'll tell you just the same, by Hamas their own governing party. Hey, boys will be boys, pirates will be pirates, and terrorists will be terrorists. After all, they can always claim they never STOLE anything, those items just fell of a truck and they were plain lucky to be there and collect them, what's the problem?

Not only that, the Palestinian propaganda machine, aka Pallywood, is working overtime, betrayed of course by these people's stupidity but spurred on by the world's willingness to lap up and swallow whatever the Arabs may choose to feed them. Remember Shawshank Redemption? "Now I'm gonna open my fly, and you're gonna swallow what I give you to swallow."
Of course, some of us do have the minimal intellectual requirements to see through a hoax, so here are a few:

Let it be noted that the time is 1 p.m, i.e. broad daylight. The sun is shining and seeping through the drapes. Not only that, those are no burning candles. Those are electric bulbs mounted on candlesticks.

Oh, and is that a microphone? What is it running on? Candle smoke? Embarrassing? Not necessarily.

Yet this is the best: a Palestinian baby in an incubator, its tiny fragile life threatened by the inhumane power-cutting Zionist regime. But guess what? they did not notice that the monitor was on. What was it running on? Ooops!
Now these pictures were e-mailed to me without their original captions, so I can make no time reference or attribution. The most similar I could find on the net were those of Ibraheem Abu-Mustafa:

And now for a cheap tearjerker:

So the poor Palestinians were left without electricity. Where's me hanky? Everybody knows that the Palestinians were among the first in the world to use electricity. Nay, in fact they were the ones to invent and use it. How else can one explain their advanced technology and refined civilization? But the evil Zionist Joos had to come along and cut off their supply. So they have to go back to what they were using hundreds of years ago, way way back before they invented it.

Seriously now, that's what it is, a fire wood burning oven. Oven-baked bread and pizzas are a delicacy all over the world. People travel to Italy and pay loads of money to have pizza al forno. In fact in Sicily they serve no pizza on the no forno day.
