It's terrible if it' s done to Israelis (the world would be outraged!), but acceptable if the Israelis do it Palestinians (the world remains complicity silent.)?
Ministers declare Gaza 'enemy entity', vote to disrupt power, fuel
The security cabinet on Wednesday voted to declare the Gaza Strip an "enemy entity," approving among other things the disruption of power and fuel supplies to the Strip, as a response to the ongoing Qassam rocket fire at Israeli communities.
The ministers decided, however, not to disrupt Gaza's water supply...
Barak also said that Israel is moving closer to a large-scale military operation in Gaza. "Every day that passes brings us closer to an operation in Gaza," Barak was quoted as saying. He said an array of options would be considered before a major invasion.
The PMO statement also said that there would be restrictions on "the passage of various goods to the Gaza Strip," but stressed that all steps "will be enacted following a legal examination, while taking into account both the humanitarian aspects relevant to the Gaza Strip and the intention to avoid a humanitarian crisis."
