Just a reminder that both forced relocation, and starvation of a population are defined as crimes against humanity. Also, if it's a particular ethnic group or religious group, it's genocide. We're talking about millions of civilians. That's to say nothing of the war crimes from ongoing bombing and shooting of those same people.

"Genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" are two terms I have not yet seen or heard on PBS. And I don't expect to hear them. But that's exactly what experts like Norman Finkelstein and Chris Hedges have been calling it.

Political pressure. The answer is, cut off funding of Israel's weapons. Israel's "violent settlers" promoted by their neocons - "We have a biblical right to all the land." Non-stop contempt abrading the Palestinian. Atop, UN gave Jewish authority of Palestinian land, to start with. Israel isn't' a nation, if completely unwilling to accept any Palestinian border.

Horrible to bear witness; Palestinians are humans suffering terribly. I guess I have to right to voice my opinion, but it hurts my soul to see such suffering.

If any person involved in this war truthfully wanted safe access for the delivery of relief to the people of Gaza in their war, they would have declared most of the coastal waterfront a relief zone and under the security of the IDF built a relief facility capable of maintaining food, water, and medical supplies to meet the basic needs of 2,000,000 people. Relief Trucks, relief agencies, and relief facilities ARE NOT PERMITTED NOR BROUGHT INTO ACTIVE COMBAT ZONES. Because of the vast Hamas Underground Military Facility, every square kilometer of Gaza is an Active Combat Zone and subjected to immediate bombing. This is not complicated.

They began their attack, but Israel fired first. Then the Palestinians lost, much to the surprise of the British. The Palestinians were losers. Now 75 years, five major wars, and decades of small attacks later, and the Palestinians are again, losers, losers, losers, losers, losers, losers, losers, losers. That should be enough losers to reflect every Losing. After The second major "Losers," the sad story of the Nakba and the claims of the "Right of Return" became Null and Void.
