Yeah. Sure. Here's some background for you: "The Gaza Marine field was discovered in 2000 after years of gas and oil prospecting in the area, and the 1.4 trillion cubic feet of gas is worth an estimated $4 billion.
In a highly controversial move, then-prime minister Ehud Barak gave up Israel's rights to the natural gas field and gave them to the Palestinian Authority for free."

No.....it is a gimmick that as soon as the diplomatic pressure is felt will be pulled away.

I don't think the local population can solve the equation firing rockets=no electricity.  Their education doesn't encourage critical thinking. They will just see it as more zionist oppression.  So it won't have the desired effect, so there is no point.

Now I'm pissed off! *link*
Any half-sovereign country with a semi-responsible leadership would tend to press its strategic advantage. In this case, ours is considerable: think of it, turning off the lights and closing the faucets!
The problem is that the Olmert gang is looking for a NG deal with British Gas and Hama"s, and is going to serve it to us in a nice, attractive, "peace process" wrapping, complete with the white surrender ribbon.

How do I do a putsch all by myself with my slingshot? Battar, you coming with me to Jerusalem?

How funny we were all wrong.... in the end. Israel's military strategy is governed by mani mazuz (attorney general) an unelected clerk. Once again proving the radical activist court that Israel has, which has the tamarity to dictate how Israel is to fight the 1000's of rockets emanating from gaza. What a contemptible state of affairs when lawyers are dictating military policy.

You have this weird blend of che geuvara guerrilla strategies and local factors going on. So I'm not sure the cutting of electricity would have worked in Israel's favor anyhow. There's propably not much lost there.

What I didn't get was why Isreal stopped the targetted assasinations of terrorist leaders. I wouldn't mind having one of these *** suffer from death by hellfire a week. Hellfire being a very appropiate name, it helps the terror leaders getting used to what comes next.
