The world’s top court on Wednesday ruled that Israel’s ban on the UN’s main humanitarian provider to Palestinians and its restrictions on aid to Gaza and the occupied West Bank are inconsistent with international law.

The advisory opinion comes six months after hearings by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, where more than 40 states and international organisations presented evidence mostly arguing that Israel had breached its international legal obligations to facilitate the entry of aid to the Palestinian population under its occupation.

They’re still restricting aid into Gaza? Why aren’t more people talking about this?

It’s the core element of Israel’s strategy of Holocausting the Palestinians by Starvation.

You see, Manmade Starvation is cheaper than purposefully building gas chambers and buying Zyklon-B plus there’s just enough (if only a tiny sliver of) “plausible” deniability that the Western politicians they bought our control via blackmail material (no doubt lots of it involving child diddling) can support Israel whilst they execute what they themselves call “the final solution for the Palestinian problem”.

And if not? A sternly written letter? Maybe they’ll even SLAM Israel?
