I am puzzled, as I am sure many others are, how it is possible to cut off electricity, food shipments, and water supply in an area of Gaza where half of the residents are under 18 years old. Israel’s actions meet the hallmarks of war crimes.
Western European governments have addressed this injustice less than the fact that Israel has the right to defend itself. Protecting children’s lives and defending Israel are not opposites. Israel can defend itself even if food and medicine shipments are allowed to Gaza, and the supply of water and electricity in the area is guaranteed.
Without going into too much detail about the situation in the Middle East, I hope all people will put aside ideology, politics, and religion. Put your conscience first and do everything to save the children of Gaza. When their lives are guaranteed, start arguing again among yourselves about who owns the land where Palestinians and Israelis live. Protecting children’s lives is not a matter of opinion. It is the duty of all of us as human beings.
