Gaza's Torment, Israel's Crimes, Our Responsibilities
Chomsky, Noam
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article39071.htmDate Written: 2014-07-12 Year Published: 2014 Resource Type: Article Cx Number: CX16553 It is important to understand what life is like in Gaza when Israel’s behavior is “restrained,” in between the regular manufactured crises like this one. When Israel is on “good behavior,” more than two Palestinian children are killed every week, a pattern that goes back over 14 years. The underlying cause is the criminal occupation and the programs to reduce Palestinian life to bare survival in Gaza, while Palestinians are restricted to unviable cantons in the West Bank and Israel takes over what it wants, all in gross violation of international law and explicit Security Council resolutions, not to speak of minimal decency.
