Will Israel stop using communication blackouts in Gaza as a weapon of war? | The Stream

Israel's war on Gaza has taken a multitude of shapes but the bombing and the raids are only part of the story. Another less talked-about weapon is connectivity - or lack thereof. Israel controls most of the electricity as well as the telecommunication and internet access in Gaza. Access to the internet is considered a basic human right by the UN.

On this episode of The Stream: E-Sims offer a solution as Israel uses connectivity and internet blackouts as some of the less-talked about weapons in its war on Gaza.
