[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There are talks of Israel letting aid in certain zones of Gaza. Could they be restarting "Operation cast thy bread" as means of providing starving Palestinians food and water?

Naval blockades are a lawful act warfare. Blocking goods in a manner intended to starve civilians is prohibited per the laws of international warfare. If it is proven that Israel intentionally blocked goods for the purpose of starving civilians, Israel can and should be charged with war crimes. Either way, it's safe to say Hamas and the IDF have committed many, many international war and terror crimes throughout the many years of their conflicts. I'm disgusted with everything Israel and Gaza but at the same time, I realize 95% of the people in the region are peaceful and loving humans. [/quote]

While that's a nice sentiment to think, unfortunately your last statement is not reflective of reality.

A poll of Israelis revealed that almost 60% think Netanyahu is not using enough force in Gaza and only about 2% think he's being excessive. There are close to a million settlers illegally living on disputed areas where did they routinely commit war crimes along with the IDF. Almost everyone serves in the military and the number one role of the IDF is to enable and protect the settlements. The genocidal government is very much an accurate reflection of its society.

I realize 95% may be a generous and overly hopeful guesstimate but I'm still confident the majority of Jews and Palestinians in the region don't condone the disgusting warfare tactics of the IDF and Hamas. [/quote]

I think when children are indoctrinated an extremely early age with ideas of being the chosen people, that God promised you this land 3000 years ago, and that Arabs are lesser people than the society as a whole transforms. There's a good documentary called "Israeli" that's free on YouTube which explores how this happens.[/quote]
