It's good then that Egypt decided to help their muslim brothers out and send fuel, food and supplies over their border.
- I was curious why Egypt and Hamas are enemies, apparently the military government of Egypt is constantly fighting religious factions, so helping a religious faction in the neighboring territory, or even letting them immigrate through refugees, would be destabilizing to the Egyptian government. Therefore it's not tenable
  
  Also Palestinians have a history of carrying out terrorism in Egypt and all other neighbouring countries, so Egyptians do not want them.
- While I can't and won't defend Egypt's role in the blockade, I'll say that Israel actively bombed the Rafah crossing, so even if Egypt was going to do that it's impossible now.
  
  Is it sure that it was Israel and not Hamas that caused explosions at the crossing?
- Egypt needs us guns more...
  
  Arabs don't give a fuck about other Arabs
  
  Look at how these clown states handled Syria crisis.
It was only ever able to provide ≤17% of the needed power, without this and with Israel shutting off power, the humanitarian crisis there is going to skyrocket.

Putin tried this in Ukraine but failed mostly due to scope and western support.

Gaza residents are so fucked, it aint even funny as west cutting foods and supplies because some young bucks got tired of being fucked so they went all degenerate jihad. 2 million people will have to pay the price, they agreed to this or not. This is done by a recognized nation state against stateless people. Take notes, other stateless people, how nobody will do shit for you once you been subjugated like this. Got to fight early and fight hard, otherwise, you will be exterminated over a few generations. Trying to find this late into genocide is mostly futile attempt and PR.

"Beheaded babies" gave Israel blank check for reprisals and western media enabled it via fake news spreading without proper journalism being done.

how such thing was able to spread just in right time for Israel so well?

Asking for a friend.

  Almost 70% of Gaza residents support armed attacks on Israeli civilians. There are clearly people who do not support cutting the heads off babies, and I sympathise with them. However they have had decades to leave. They have chosen to remain living shoulder to shoulder with monsters. As for the majority of Palestinians who support murdering and mutilating babies, they deserve to die.
  
  People who live in Gaza do not have freedom of movement. They can't just leave, they need permission from Israel to do so.
  
  The majority are children how can they leave?
  
  Gaza strip residents are poor so how can they leave?
  
  Yes... The people native to the region must be either destroyed or driven out
  
  Checks out ;)
  
  Leave to where? Should they be forced to abandon their homes and their families because most of their countrymen are fed up with living in a ghetto and chose to fight back?
  
  Leave?
  
  That they're being asked to is why they believe violence is justified.
  
  And they are right.
They do have tons of solar panels on buildings due to flaky power supply, so its not like theres no ppwer, just no main grid.
This is the best summary I could come up with:

The power plant’s shutdown comes two days after the Israeli government said it would order a “complete siege” of the Palestinian enclave, closing off access to electricity, food, fuel and water in response to the surprise attack launched by Hamas on Israel that killed at least 1,200 people.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) says it is targeting Hamas terrorists, but the dense population of Gaza – 2 million people living in 140 square miles – means that civilians are often caught in the crossfire.

Further Palestinian casualties are feared as Israel maintains its bombardment for a fifth day and the “complete siege” ordered by Gallant on Monday takes effect.

“These risks (are) seriously compounding the already dire human rights and humanitarian situation in Gaza, including the capacity of medical facilities to operate, especially in light of the increasing number of injured people,” spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani said Tuesday.

Officials with the UN’s Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) said 11 of its employees had died as a result of airstrikes on Gaza and at least 14 of their facilities there have been damaged directly or indirectly.

The only border crossing between Gaza and Egypt was struck by Israeli warplanes Tuesday, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Interior Ministry Eyad al-Bozom said.
