a collective crime against humanity .....

Israel is collectively punishing innocent civilians by withholding and controlling food and medicine to Gaza, says Christian Aid. 

"With the recent upsurge in violence it is Palestinian and Israeli civilians who will pay the price of failure and silence, and lose hope itself", says William Bell, middle-eastern advocacy officer at Christian Aid. 

Despite repeated calls from the international community, Gaza remains closed to food and medicine. For almost one and a half years, 1.5 million Palestinians have endured collective punishment as a result of Israel’s tight closure of Gaza.  

Israel 'Using Food & Medicines As Weapons' 

Nobel Peace Prize laureate Mairead Maguire said Thursday the United Nations should suspend or revoke Israel's membership.  

Maguire said Israel should be punished for ignoring a series of United Nations resolutions over the years.

catastrophe .....

Israel has decided that the best way to reduce Palestinian terrorism is to create more terrorists by pushing the entire Gaza population to the brink of starvation.  

Unless Israel plans on actually killing everyone in Gaza via starvation, this stupid tactic will do nothing but create the next generation of people looking for revenge: 

Gaza faces a humanitarian “catastrophe” if Israel continues to prevent aid reaching the territory by blocking crossing points, the head of the main UN aid agency for the Palestinians said on Friday. 

Karen AbuZayd, commissioner-general of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), said the human toll of this month's sealing of Gaza's goods crossings was the gravest since the early days of a Palestinian uprising eight years ago. 

“It's been closed for so much longer than ever before… and we have nothing in our warehouses… It will be a catastrophe if this persists, a disaster,” said Mr. AbuZayd, whose agency is the largest aid body providing services to Palestinian refugees. 

Fifty years of failed policy — FIFTY YEARS — and Israel still hasn't learned a thing about fighting terrorism. It is just stunning!
