Gaza has been half starved and blockaded by Israel for several years .Israel has been waging economic war against its civilian population in a totally illegal way. This blockade has meant that essential medical supplies have been stopped,the power stations have been destroyed and movement in and out of Gaza halted.Hundreds of Palestinian children in Gaza have been killed in the past few years by the Israeli military and thousands more maimed or terrorised. Gideon Levy,an Israeli writer with the Israeli Haaretz newspaper, has described the military actions of Israel as that of the neighbourhood bully.How right he is.
