Starve or surrender: Cut off all food and water to Gaza, says Israeli general

Starve or surrender: Cut off all food and water to Gaza, says Israeli general (The Electronic Intifada, Aug 23, 2014):

sraeli Major-General Giora Eiland has urged that all food and water be cut off to Gaza’s nearly 1.8 million Palestinian residents – a major war crime and precisely the “starve or surrender” policy which the United States has condemned when used in Syria.

Eiland, the Israeli government’s former national security advisor, argues that Gaza should be considered an enemy “state.”

“Since Gaza is in fact a state in a military confrontation with us, the proper way to put pressure on them is to bring to a full stop the supplies from Israel to Gaza, not only of electricity and fuel, but also of food and water,” he wrote in a Hebrew-language op-ed on Mako, a website affiliated with Israel’s Channel 2 television.

“A state cannot simultaneously attack and feed the enemy, while he is shooting at you, because this gives the other country a breathing space – and again I am referring to Gaza as a country, because the regime there is supported by its people,” Eiland adds.

  1. If they do that, I sincerely hope the world turns on Israel and cuts them off of everything……..Jews in the US are outraged by what they are doing to the poor souls in Gaza……..those bastards need a taste of their own medicine.
