The collective punishment toward the Palestinians has always been the game of Israelis - bulldozing the houses of civilians, bombing of the refugee camps, and lockdown of cities. Now, Gaza has gone dark after Israel cut off the fuel supply to this prison-city. Well, there is much to say about the tactics of Hamas as well, but at the end of the day, Israel has no right to punish an entire population by these brutal methods.

The candlelight vigils against this injustice will never get the same attention as the suicide bombs, so these peace minded folks will forever be marginalized and ignored.
