Do it or else ... or else what ... exactly

In the ongoing pointlessness that is the Israel-Palestinian conflict, the Israeli's have decided to cut off fuel supplies to Gaza. They are pissed that the rockets that have been coming over the wall for a year are still coming, so figured since regular assassinations and completely killing the economy hasn't made Gazans want to stop shooting at them maybe they can melt their hearts by cutting their electricity bills.

Seriously, the Palestinians have been getting smacked around by the world (and yes, the Arabs have not exactly been their best friends either) for DECADES. Making their lives a little shittier does not endear them to you and sure as hell isn't going to convince them to waive a white flag.

That said, I do not think the Israeli's are clueless; the point is to prop up Hamas and undercut the PA to ensure their is no "partner for peace". And that is their prerogative. But in 10-15 years when the Arab-Israeli's begin to outnumber the Jewish-Israeli's and the who Zionist dream comes crashing down, remember who it was that didn't see a good bargain when it was staring them in the face.
