Re: IDF soldier Kidnapped in Gaza
The irony. Zionists find it justifed to kill innumerous innocent civilians, men/women/children, to save one Zionist life. They are using the pretext of kidnapped soldier, while using this opportunity to give collective punishment to Palestinian population in general.
Due to this newest Israeli offensive, Gaza is out of electricity and bridges and other infrastructure is destroyed.

An Israeli missile took out a crucial power station late Tuesday. In Rafah, which relied on the destroyed power plant for half of its daily energy needs, residents are now left without power much of the day.
Amnesty International warned that Israel’s destruction of three bridges and electricity networks across the Gaza Strip had “left half the population of Gaza without electricity and reportedly also adversely affected the supply of water.”
“It’s six hours on and six hours off,” says Dawoud al-Hamarna, a maintenance chief at the local electric company.
Even that is a generous estimate. Rafah was left in darkness throughout Wednesday night. Residents estimated that lights had been on for only six hours out of the past 24.
If Israel, Gaza’s lone outside power supplier, acts on threats to cut off the supply, those few precious hours of daily electricity will soon disappear as well.
“Without power, Rafah will die,” warns Sami Sagher, manager of Rafah’s water network.
The local water company depends on electricity to pump water to homes and businesses. Now, he says, the water supply has been reduced by 50 percent.
All border crossings in and out of Gaza have been shut. With gas stations predicting petrol supplies would run out by sundown Thursday, companies relying on generators would soon be out of luck as well.
Hana Sagher sits at the entrance to her family’s rented single-story home, washing clothes by hand. “Meats, fruits, and everything else that has to be kept in the refrigerator has gone rotten,” she says.
Her wide, angry eyes punctuate her chronicle of the hardships she has suffered at the hands of Israel. Her family owned a simple home near Gaza’s border with Egypt, but in 2004 the Israelis bulldozed it, along with dozens of others, as part of “security” measures.
“I wish we would kidnap five more soldiers,” she says, spitting at suggestions that the Palestinian militants holding the soldier are responsible for her suffering. "It is not a problem if I have to suffer more. We suffer so the next generation can live better.
“We have 10,000 prisoners in Israeli jails. They come and kill whole families on our beaches,” Sagher says, referring to a family of picnickers who were killed by an Israeli artillery shell earlier this month.
ZIONISTS WILL PAY FOR EVERY CRIME THEY ARE COMMITTING AGAINST MUSLIMS.
