By forbidding the cutting off of electricity, Attorney General Mazuz prevented Israel from arousing the anger of the entire world. But the collective punishment he didn't stop, the ever tightening siege of the Gaza Strip. The State of Israel prevents the entry of vital goods – from fuel to baby food and everything in between. No one is allowed in or out - neither students on their way to study nor terminal patients in urgent need of medical care. Today, eighty percent of the Gazans are under the poverty line – without money to buy what the shops still have. And the result? The Army’s experts expect that the collective punishment will only increase the shooting of missiles. Ad in Haaretz, November 2, 2007 Distributed as leaflet at the Rabin Memorial rally, Nov. 3 |
