American Conservative: Israel ramps up its terror campaign. Nothing has entered Gaza for 50+ days. 2 million people are on the brink. We’re witnessing Israel’s solution to the Gaza question—a humanitarian crisis engineered by the Israeli government to remove an entire people it has deemed the equivalent of locusts.
Israel’s decision to halt all humanitarian aid to Gaza as a means of pressuring Hamas to release the remaining hostages without any commitment from Israel to end the war — an action that amounts to the war crime of collective punishment — was widely condemned by international actors.
Official reports about Gaza becoming uninhabitable have been issued for years… One wonders if the world had paid even the slightest attention to Gaza and the cries of people trapped behind walls, barbed wire, and electric fences, whether the current war and genocide could have been avoided.
The U.N. Relief and Works Agency has become known for its distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza during the war there. But its real value lies in its schools, says the Christian Science Monitor’s Gaza reporter. If they close, what is the future for Palestinians?
