Can't have live video getting out showing the murders the IDF commits.

- I agree and I'm sure that's what this is about, but honestly, if you haven't seen enough yet to realize Israel is massacring innocent people, even live video won't convince you.

- Didn't Israel say that they were posting areas that Gazans should be evacuating on Xitter and?Facebook, and that it was up to the Gazans to keep checking those sites and evacuate when needed, and that Israel couldn't be responsible for anyone who didn't follow evacuation orders? And now it turns out that Gazans can't read the orders anyway (and those that evacuate to Israeli-designated "safe" areas get bombed anyway)?

  I mean, that's better than round 1 when they told the civilians where to move to and then bombed that position. At least this way they're more dispersed...?

- It's probably more to do with cutting off communications for Hamas. Photos and videos are going to get out. Whether it's today, tomorrow, or the next day isn't going to change public reaction much.

Has there been any news about how Israel's able cut service in Gaza? I assumed at first they were bombing/sabotaging infrastructure but they seem to be able to turn service on and off at will like they're flipping a switch.

- Everything is run trough Israel, even water so that's how they can stop it.

  But from what I've seen even the service providers don't seem to know how they're doing it.

IDK. could be, but I've seen clips coming out of South Gaza that would say otherwise.

- Ah that clip absolutely shows a prison filled with children without food, water, power and internet access.

- just imagine having a certain amount of battery left and having to choose when to turn on the phone to record something that might make international headlines. Meanwhile the other side records continuously and has direct access to news agencies.

  In that we don't know who came out of the cars tells you it didn't come from the media.
  
  That's a lot of working telephones and cameras for no electricity.
  
  The vid got to us somehow. Probably the internet.
