It's not goalpost moving at all. Ask the UN Special Rapporteur:

> they do not control their water or electricity (kinda hard to do that or even claim that is being done since they don't have a presence in the country).

This is a stunningly false statement. I honestly don't know how anyone could believe it.

I guess you are just ignorant of the facts then. Israel only provides a portion as part of their humanitarian aid (but it isn't their responsibility to power Gaza.. just as no country is held responsible for anothers electricity?). I'd start with this wikipedia article:

You’re right, it isn’t Israel’s responsibility to power Gaza. But then why does Israel restrict and control Gaza’s import of fuel for their only power plant?

You can’t have your cake and eat it too. You can’t claim Israel is providing humanitarian aid while it is also restricting their ability to find solutions that no longer require their aid.
