"Cutting power is a step taken when no other alternatives remain, and one we are forced to take given the presence, in your city, of neighborhoods full of headquarters of an army that carries out war crimes and harms civilians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Out of humanitarian concerns, the power cuts will not be total, and we will leave it to your discretion whether to divert the remaining electricity to hospitals, the sewage system, or private homes."

Powerful letter. Can't even arrange the thoughts in my head to comment as I would've wanted to.

Good place to go for an explanation of the above quote: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxymoron
Humanitarian according to wikipedia: "Therefore, humanitarians work towards advancing the well-being of humanity as a whole." The statement above is an insult to the idea of humanitarian effort.
