    Israel has targeted health centers and large apartment blocks as reprisals. they threated to punish the whole population by switching off electricity.

    why are they even in control of the electricity?

    why are they allowing settlers to create illegal settlements?

      Glad you asked why Israel is in control of the electricity. They are in control of the power because Fatah/PLO pocketed millions (perhaps billions) of dollars worth of Israeli and international aid specifically earmarked for building power and water plants. In other words, Israel provides power because otherwise there would be no power, because Arafat and his minions were corrupt.

        why is that Israel’s concern? Just divest from the area and let them get on with it.

        It’s difficult of course with all the illegal Israeli settlements taking land from people and cutting up the already small area of land.
