> or deliberate attempts to starve out Gaza The Israeli defense minister went on TV on 9 October 2023 [0] and declared that he was going to starve Gaza: "We are imposing a complete siege on the city of Gaza. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything is closed. We are fighting human animals, and we are acting accordingly." I assume that this explicit admission of guilt is why he has been charged. 0. https://youtu.be/ZbPdR3E4hCk?si=Gx1Uf_jWeRVUNELr https://youtu.be/ZbPdR3E4hCk?si=Gx1Uf_jWeRVUNELr

  The Geneva Convention specifically has a section regarding this[0] - the occupying force is required to allow in relief supplies. ICC is accusing Bibi and Gantz of specifically using starvation as a tactic, which is a war crime.

  > A blockade is completely legal. Israel is not responsible for feeding Gaza. Do you think the Allies fed the Nazis? Okay. Sure. The Israeli navy has blockaded Gazan ports since 2007, not since October. It bombed the control tower of the airport in 1999 and bulldozed the runways in 2002. And it told Gaza any attempt to build an airport would have the same happen to it. Israel is not responsible for feeding Gaza. But with closed land border, and those blockades, it is responsible for some of the results. > He's referring to Hamas and those are the nicest words said about them. Why did Netanyahu give them billions over the last couple of decades, these human animals?

  >legal. Israel is not responsible for feeding Gaza. With all due respect, no asked them to. Its about letting the aid from those are feeding. And maybe not raze the grain silos and farms? And not bulldozing the olive farms, both by the military and its citizens?
