“The use of starvation as a weapon is a war crime. It is a crime that that the Israeli government has been committing from the start. Referring to the current blockade as a ‘two-month siege’ is technically accurate but misleading. Prior to the brief ceasefire at the start of this year, the Israeli government had been severely impeding the delivery of aid throughout the conflict. The Biden administration knew this, but chose to ignore it and kept sending weapons in violation of U.S. law anyway. The current blockade is an intensification of the starvation policy that has been in place all along. Continued U.S. support for the war while the Israeli government deliberately starves the population is despicable and indefensible.” (04/30/25)
