Let Them Eat….Nothing
The BBC reports that Israel is not only blocking Palestinians from making a living, it’s now blockading UN food aid from reaching the hungry. If, as Israel wants to insist, this is a war, then starving the populace would appear to be against the letter and the spirit of the Geneva Convention :
Section I. Provisions common to the territories of the parties to the conflict and to occupied territories

Art. 33. No protected person may be punished for an offence he or she has not personally committed. Collective penalties and likewise all measures of intimidation or of terrorism are prohibited. Pillage is prohibited.Reprisals against protected persons and their property are prohibited.
What’s not to understand there? But I forgot. Only anti-semites criticise Israel and so everything they do is A-OK. To say otherwise would be racist, wouldn’t it?
