Regarding the power station that the IDF took out in Gaza when it was being used as cover for rocket launches…
Israel knew exactly what it was bombing, says station manager Dr. Drar Abu-Sisi. It’s impossible to operate the station without the transformers. Replacing them would take at least a year – either by ordering new transformers or by hooking up to the Egyptian power network.
With a capacity of 140 megawatts, the power station was the most advanced in the Arab world. Israel could have paralyzed the station by simply stopping its fuel supply, without putting it out of action for months.
“Had they told us on the phone to cut the power off, we’d have done so right away,” says Abu-Sisi, who is convinced that the bombing was politically motivated.
Sure you would have. Uh huh. Yeah, right.
Yes, they would have cut off the power, but they would not have stopped using the site to launch rockets. What good would cutting off the power have done? The rocket launchers do not require the electrical power from the plant.
So Gaza has the most advanced power plant in the Arab world? And I thought Gaza was supposed to be the armpit of the Arab world. Or is that a redundancy?
I think you’re overly skeptical, while not skeptical enough. They would have cut the power.
Then, they would have rounded up a hundred kids for a sleepover in the power plant, and turned it back on.
Operation Zionist Scapegoat requires it, you know.
