You cannot just walk in and request that your power be turned off. 

– Shmuel Shatz, Internal Audit Manager (Ombudsman’s office, Tel Aviv) for Israel Electric Corporation, when asked by a landowner to turn the electricity off on a property that was sabotaged by criminals who wired the landowner’s property with live electricity as part of a strategy to steal the land.

The Israel Electric Corporation is considered ‘more powerful than God’ in Israel.
