Collective Punishment
Give me just one rationalisation for that. And because I know that you cannot I will speak words hanging in the air: Collective Punishment.
There is no question as to what this could otherwise be termed. It is most certainly the elephant in the corner.
You want to do something? You want to make sure that this doesn't happen to other children - and there have been many - or to someone else's mother, brother, sister, I can give you lists and lists of people who are affected. The names would mean nothing to you. I can tell you that we have no chemotherapy drugs in Gaza and the Israeli's will not allow importation of any more. That means that anyone unfortunate enough to be trapped here and be suffering from cancer is receiving no treatment. Find me any kind of justification for that.
You want to make a difference? Make sure that someone else knows. Tell five people and tell them to tell another five people. The only way that this will change is if the people, the populace, want it to change. The politicians all know, they are all playing their own game.
But, for once, you can actually make a difference. This is a hot topic right now. Letters to congressmen, senators, governors, and newspapers are always useful. If you need any more stories, any more facts, ask for them, I can happily give them to you.
But just realise, that by not saying anything, by not demanding some kind of change, this is what you are condoing.
