Israel 'set calorie limit' for Gaza Strip

Israel's government has been forced to reveal how far it looked into restricting food to Gaza during the 2007 blockade.

Human rights groups say it amounted to collective punishment and that Palestinians barely had enough to survive.

Al Jazeera's Nicole Johnston reports from Jerusalem.

if it looks like a duck walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, its a NAZI

The "this is the same as Nazi Germany / This is not as bad as Nazi Germany" polarity on this topic is ridiculous.

It does not have to be equally as bad as a concentration camp to be an unconscionable violation of human rights. Can't we just stop comparing it to Nazi Germany and all agree that "this cannot be allowed to continue" already? Mass murder is still a despicable act, whether it's 100, 1000, 10000, or 9 million.

This is so disgusting, I feel so bad for the Palestinians. I know that if I was under Israeli occupation I would fight back they way they are doing now.

Assuming for a moment that "the rest of the world" would go insane and do something like that... I'd certainly like to think that some calculations would be made to find out the minimal supply needed to prevent a humanitarian crisis.

This video is an example of how neutral (or even positive) facts are twisted to promote agenda. It is a wide spread phenomena when it comes up to coverage of Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

So it would also be ok for the rest of the world to do the same to Israel then as a means of sanctions for breaking international human rights laws ? after all it is a fair thing to do apparently or WOULD THAT BE A PROBLEM ?

[Reder Rumer]

It is sad the Palestinians are being tortured by the zionist beast.
