Palestine - "People Will Go To Bed Tonight Hungry."
Wheat-flour stocks have run out in the Gaza Strip, with most bakeries closing, and Gaza's 1.5 million Palestinians face an unprecedented food shortage because of Israeli closures that have prevented the import of wheat.
"The situation is extremely serious," says David Shearer of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in the Occupied Palestinian Territories.
"In the next day or so all bread supplies will dry up. There is very little else around in terms of rice, which is also short in supply. Bread is the staple diet for Palestinians. It is also the food of the poorest people, so if that's not available, people will start to go hungry," Shearer said.
Israel just goes on piling one inhumanity on top of another, seemingly with impunity.
It is uncivilized, barbarous and savagely cruel behaviour which should not be tolerated.

It does seem somewhat hypocritical to constantly remind people about the holocaust - to the extent of having a day of remembrance for it - and then to behave in exactly the same way as the Nazis instead of practising what they preach. In fact, it seems breathtakingly hypocritical.
Yes, Byronb, you're right, and it angers me constantly.
If any country in the world should be striving for perfection in human rights, the right to dignity, an end to torture, a respect for international law....... where do I stop? it should be the Israeli people and the State of Israel.
Instead we see the opposite. As they preach the horrors of genocide - they commit it, with the backing of the West.
The Nazis taught them well.
