The situation in Gaza, the blockade and Israeli military strikes on factories and farms, the arbitrary restriction on the type and volume of humanitarian aid that's allowed to flow through the checkpoints, is at least as dire a humanitarian and political crisis as North Korea, and is more pressing than Iran's Green Revolution. Now that I've done more research into the situation, it physically sickens me that my country approves of and enables Israel's behavior.
It's not about whether Israel has a right to permanency, or even borders and state solutions, or border lines and settlements. It's now about the systematic starvation and subjugation of 1.5 million people in a political limbo perpetuated by American clout and arms deals.
