‘It’s a Collective Punishment, It’s a War Crime’: Nathan Thrall on Israel’s Blockade of Gaza

RUSH EXCERPT:

THRALL: "Gaza’s home to 2.1 million people. And these people were as shocked by this attack that happened on Saturday as Israelis were. And they are now being starved. They’re being deprived of food, water, electricity, and fuel. It’s a collective punishment, it’s a war crime. And the United States is not stopping this. Israel needs to distinguish between Hamas which perpetrated this attack and the people of Gaza who are now being punished for something that they did not do. Over a million people have been forced — have been told to move south and into areas that are also being heavily bombarded."
