Concerned governments should impose targeted sanctions and suspend arms transfers to press the Israeli government to ensure access to humanitarian aid and basic services in Gaza, in accordance with Israel’s obligations under international law and the recent International Court of Justice order in South Africa’s genocide case, the group says.
“The Israeli government’s use of starvation as a weapon of war has proven deadly for children in Gaza,” said Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch. “Israel needs to end this war crime, stop this suffering, and allow humanitarian aid to reach all of Gaza unhindered.”
It’s like when US police kill a pedestrian in a chase and media outlets say “Pedestrian was Struck by Police Car while Officer was Chasing Suspect.”
No, the police car didn’t strike a pedestrian while a police chase was happening. A police officer struck and killed a pedestrian with their vehicle during a reckless chase. The car isn’t an entity that makes decisions.
