7 Enough oil for one day fueled the miracle of Hanukkah back in the Second Century, BC, but three days' worth isn't going to get the Gaza Strip very far. Where does the West Bank get their oil from? Also Israel, or have they diversified their sources?

8 I'm sure a walking artillery barrage would do wonders for Gaza's infrastructure, especially if such targets as their ONLY power plant was taken out.

10 Idiots, supplying your enemy is the height of stupidity, I'd cut them off completely until I got a very nicely worded apology, and cash payment in advance, then hold the oil until ALL the rockets ceased, a month without any rockets will do it.

Plus the oil will only be sent in small shipments only enough for immediate use so they cannot store any, and the first rocket means one month without power (Oil)

The Israeli's are simply NOT SERIOUS about ending attacks.

11 Someday people will figure out that the way to fight this is to let the host population suffer until they go after the bad guys themselves. Give them guns if need be. When the bad guys' heads show up on a stick on the walls of the city, the problem is solved.
