'After 72 hours without power in Israel – it will be uninhabitable,' says CEO of company overseeing electrical systems.
Israel is utterly unprepared for a war with Hezbollah and for the toll such a conflict could take on the country's power infrastructure, the CEO of a company that manages and oversees Israel's electrical systems on behalf of the government said on Thursday.
"We are not ready for a real war. We live in a fantasy world, in my eyes," said Shaul Goldstein, head of Noga – the Israel Independent System Operator. Later, in an interview with Kan Public Broadcaster, he seemed to walk his comments back somewhat: "I said irresponsible things. I shouldn't have."
"If Nasrallah decides to paralyze Israel's power grid, he only needs to pick up the phone and call the head of Beirut's power grid, which is [technically] identical to Israel's." Goldstein said, before noting that "the upside is that we have invested a lot in protection, working together with Israel Electric Company."

"We might have to live in the conditions we inflict on Palestine"
Would be so funny if this latest genocidal rampage actually collapses the Israeli govt.
Always hilarious when the media interviews somebody who's priority is the reality of things like power and water instead of a propoganda mouthpiece.
"Isreal will never surrender, our cause is just and we will outlast any adversity." - director of communications
"Hospitals are going to be full in 2 weeks if we're lucky and there's no plan to alleviate the issues once they happen." - person in charge of keeping the power on so hospitals don't become overcrowded
"Also can't wait to be blamed for this in two weeks, just gonna get this out of the way preemptively 'I will have told you so' "
Imagine running a government and thinking this is a good idea.
I refuse to believe anybody really thinks that, it’s just another way to extract money from people.
I was going to say it's a lot easier to think it's a good idea when the power company writes you a check for a couple mil and the memo line says "this is a good idea"
Average Western government L too. I can't think of a single nation without a private powergrid
I mean, crown corporations are technically public because they are owned by and accountable to the government.
But the fact that they must turn a profit kinda ruins them...
According to wiki they only have 9 powerstation in the whole country and the biggest ones in the north...
All well withing reach of Hezbollah rockets.
Would somebody care to explain to me how anybody (Jewish or otherwise) is supposed to feel safe in this piss bucket? The ‘safety’ is supposed to be the neocolony’s selling point and yet I have no clue how the hell it’s safe.
Zionists’ goal is jewish migration to Israel. Having a common ancestry/religion is not enough of a selling point for most people. It’s why they fund and support a lot of fascists and/or their rhetoric around the world so Jews don’t feel safe. This is something that top minds in the country have spoken openly about, going as far as saying that Hitler was noble for kickstarting the interest in Israel by Jews.
So, they have fermented antisemitism around the world to compel jews and their families to move to a country that occupies millions of people who hate their guts, surrounded by neighbors who also hate their guts. Only fools feel safe there. It imports pedos, literal black sun Nazi Jews from Russia, and they purposely make Jews hated everywhere that could potentially be called Home that’s not israel.
I heard a rumour that a settler wanted to set up a statue of Adolf Schicklgruber there because of his régime’s contributions to Zionism. I don’t know if anybody seriously suggested that, but it does sound plausible.
They are not supposed to feel safe, which breeds fascists dogs.
- Showmy honest reaction to the Zionist entity going through with this
suicidalwar.
That guy walking back his comments reminds me of that time bill mahar said that us soldiers were cowards bc they don't ram their jets into buildings like
style. He was forced to apologize and retract his statement.Imagine he just continued on that path, he would be absolutely wild
Like the 1 time he was right about anything lol. He would've been unhinged if he never caved, probably been like bill burr too
After 72 hours without power in Israel – it will be uninhabitable
with every month that passes, it's seeming more and more likely that this colonial project exists entirely by the constant injection of material supports from the metropole. logistics, security, weapons and cash, sure, but also credit and banking relations.
I think BDS or even a slight drawing down of support for the Israeli government from all limbs of the western hegemony represents an existential threat to its continued existence and the entire thing would fold in on itself rapidly as the various grifters and opportunists feeding and siphoning off wealth from the capital faucet will rapidly bleed out the project and vanish in the commotion of its implosion.
Is this not known fact? The other thing to me is, if Israel lost particularly its military protection and support, I feel like some of its neighbours might be inclined to do an intervention of sorts.
i didn't mean like "if israeli lost all of its military support" or "lost its access to western banking infrastructure"... i mean like, "if there was a credible perception that, instead of material support climbing by double digits, the next 2 quarters will have a level of support stays level or declines by 0.5%"
like, not a hitting the brakes or even taking the foot off the gas. i mean, just a slight reduction in the rate of acceleration, and the ship sinks.
theres also the reinjection of those resources back into the metropole through things like AIPAC
He's giving a helpful hint that Lebanon has a near identical grid at home to analyse, train against, etc. I think the point is that Israel should expect Hezbollah to be able to efficiently disable the electric grid if hostilities reach that level.
