    In none of those other places are your weapons at risk of spontaneously discharging or detonating. It’s not even close to comparable.

        Only if the MRI is on, right? MRIs are magnetized as long as they’re not turned off, I thought? They’re almost never turned off because of the fucky wucky with superconducting magnets.

          Gaza Strip had power failures and power shortage due to the war. I assumed incubators and ventilators had higher priority than MRI.

            I mean, sure, but it’s not like incubators and ventilators require that much energy. If all a hospital needed was to power incubators and ventilators, I’m fairly sure the pittance of oil the IDF sent in would have been enough.

              It was an example, they need many other things. Climate control (the region is getting cold), light, automatic doors, refrigerators for medication, computer systems, etc. All running on the same generators, using the same limited supply with unclear replanishment date. Under such conditions you have to prioritize.
