GAZA- A spokesman for Islamic Hamas movement said on Tuesday the "Israeli" threat of cutting power supplies to Gaza is "not strange" as the Jewish (Zionist) state used to combat the Palestinian people by all means.
Spokesman Fawzi Barhoom made the remarks following "Israeli" Vice Premier Haim Ramon threatened to cut electricity that "Israel" provides for 60 percent of Gaza Strip residents if the Palestinians continued their rocket attacks on "Israel".
"This cheap way aims at forcing our people to kneel down before the American and `Israeli` policies that the occupation wants to pass through at the expense of our national principles," Barhoom rebuked the threat.
He accused "Israel" of utilizing the rocket attacks as a pretext, saying his movement dose not fire as much rockets as the other factions do.
But he vowed to escalate the rocket attack whenever Hamas find sit necessary. "The Palestinian people can`t achieve their goals without resistance," said the spokesman.
