What? You mean those photos of women and children reading by candlelight were bogus? I'm aghast.
He he.
Absolute nonesense and irresponsible and badbly researched reporting. Israel supplies Gaza with 2/3 of its power needs and did not turn off the power. Israel is 100% correct to close the border in response to Gaza's inability to police itself and stop the rain of rockets into Southern Israel. If Israel was the UK and Germany was firing rockets...well that was World War II.
Gaza is an Arab problem that should be dealt with by Arabs. However neither Egypt not Jordan want Gazans living in their countries as they fear that their radicalism will disrupt their societies. Why else would they even have a border crossing with Gaza?
The world needs to step up and realize that the Gazans have been used by the Arab countries and indeed the rest of the world as pawns in attempting to pressure Israel. It won't work. Ever.
As a result Arabs are confining Arabs to a tough life. Jordan and Egypt are capable of providing the items that Gazans say they need but they don't, they won't. It would all go away if Jordan and Egypt opened their borders and absorbed their brother and sister Arabs into their 77 million in Egypt or 7 million in Jordan. That's the real solution.
My post was a copy of what I put on the Guardian site. The bad reporting I was referring too was, of course, that of the Guardian 
www.lookisrael.com
Right, Evin. This here blog also reported on same. Cheers.
The Gaza Strip as a whole gets most of its electricity from Israel, but that doesn't mean that Gaza City does. Gaza City might be on its own power grid, so cutting off the fuel could have forced blackouts in the city itself.
Normally places like these don't have several separate grids. Also, usually the grids are manageable in lesser sections, so electricity could be doled out to more important ones.
Besides, Gaza City is about the major part of the whole population of the Gaza strip, so...
No one can take the Guardian seriously. They wish to sell newspapers to their Islamic readership in the British Isles, so fairness will never be part of the equation with them. That fact coupled with fear of Jihadist retribution sullies their journalism thoroughly.
