Israel’s Supreme Court affirms government’s decision
Because of the terrorist activities that have been generating from the Gaza Strip, Israel has decided to retaliate with slowly cutting off its electricity and fuel.
Israel’s Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld the government’s decision to reduce fuel and electricity deliveries to the Gaza Strip as a form of “economic warfare” against the armed Hamas group in control there.
In doing so, the three-judge panel rejected the arguments of Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups that the blackouts and shortages caused by the cuts represent a form of collective punishment against Gaza’s 1.5 million residents.
“We emphasize that the Gaza Strip is controlled by a murderous terror group that operates incessantly to strike the state of Israel and its citizens, and violates every precept of international law with its violent actions,” the judges wrote.
The ruling clears the way for the Israeli government to begin reducing its delivery of electricity to Gaza on Feb. 7, and to continue cutting back the shipments of fuel used to run Gaza’s power plant, generators and vehicles. Most of Gaza’s electricity is supplied by power lines from Israel.
I like it how not only is Hamas a terrorist group, its a “murderous” terrorist group. Way to go Israeli Judges for not being politically correct!However, Israel is probably going to get a lot of crap from the international community for this and this incident will probably end up being discussed in today’s democratic debate. Be prepared to hear stories about how the US and Israel are the reasons why all these terrorists exist in the first place.
