Adieux: a Farewell to... Electricity

Breaking news on the website of the Palestinian Information Centre says:
محطة كهرباء قطاع غزة ستتوقف عن العمل بشكل كامل يوم الخميس القادم بسبب وقف الاتحاد الأوروبي تمويلها
translation: As a result of cessation of funding by the European Union, the electricity generating station in the Gaza Strip will be completely out of work starting next Thursday
I mean, why would the wretched of the earth need electricity? Donkeys, tents, and broken furniture is enough for them, the avowed of the earth decide. (Don't forget that Ehud Barak actually said that people in Gaza do not need petrol since they already have donkeys, this came at the time car owners were filling their cars with vegetable oil. Yes, vegetable oil.)
