@cee valentine. No idea. Please tell us how much the U.S. is giving Egypt (and please supply a source besides islamisgreat.com or freeegaza.sic ) While your about it, how much control does Israel have US policy? Please, I'd love to know.

Not just the lights! How about the truckloads of food, meds, internet and even the cell phones that these bastards use to "aim" there missiles and motars with. Let them see how great life is without Israel, it's what they want afterall.

Who cares about world opinion. Israel is now in a fight for survival and should use all necessary means to destroy the enemy Hamas. I agree reduce the supply for a day then cut it off completely. That will teach the Hamas shit to mess with Israel!

Cee Valentine: The sole reason Israel blockades Gaza is to prevent the Hamas terrorists and their proxies, the means to acquire more weaponry. Hamas's stated aim is the destruction of Israel. Humanitarian aid is free to enter Gaza once it has been security screened for weaponry.

Cazzbaa: Who should Israel compromise with when the ultimate goal of the Arabs is the annihilation of Israel?

Strange, I am 52 now and as a 10 year old would read in the local paper about all of the killing and bombing going back and forth over there in the "SAND," in the Middle East and remarked to my father who was at the time still a U.S. Air Force fighter pilot, and that the United States would solve every problem in the Middle East by launching just 20 Minuteman III multi-warhead strategic nuclear missiles…

When the only thing that one side of the debate can see is it's own indifference and hatred toward those of another position then thinking like mine as a 10 year old child pervades the psyche living no room for compromise.

The only way is compromise for both parties.

You only serve to further radicalize people by turning of the power, being second is the way to go here, this way you keep the world behind you and are not seen as the aggressor.

one UN report said so, others have said it is illegal..
"What Israeli foreign minister Abba Eban said about blockades during the 1967 war:
"To blockade, after all, is to attempt strangulation–and sovereign states are entitled not to have their State strangled. The blockade is by definition an act of war, imposed and enforced through violence. Never in history have a blockade and peace existed side by side."

If you want to talk about international law, you should learn something about it. A blockade is BY DEFINITION not a form of collective punishment. Furthermore, the blockade of Gaza is entirely legal. Even the UN says so.

how about Israel stops the illegal blockade and collective punishment of Gaza, let them get their own electricity?..Egyptian border is closed because of pressure from US, which is pressured by Israel..
