    • Food and water can still get in via the Egyptian border, supply lines are still open. This isn’t a mediaeval siege, if starvation were the goal no border crossings would be allowed.
    • Funny how in this conflict one side is expected to adhere to international law while the other side totally ignores it, intentionally attacks civilians, takes hostages, launches missiles indiscriminately at civilian centers, etc., If Israel adopted the tactics Palestine is willing to employ there would be no Palestine.

      Yeah Israel is expected to obey international law because it gets $3.8 billion a year in funding from the US to support their military. If Israel refuses to follow international law then the US is effectively giving that money to terrorists.

      Two wrongs don’t make a right. A single severely restricted border crossing is not a replacement for water and electricity mains. Restricting necessities of life is a war crime

      My back of the napkin math suggests there would need to be over 4,000 tanker trucks filled with water moving through that checkpoint every day
