According to reports, the Obama Administration recognizes that there is a need for change in Israel’s continued siege of the Gaza strip. Perhaps, the near future may bring closure to Israel’s military blockade of the Gaza strip, and the resumption of unrestricted humanitarian aid to the people of Palestine.
It is obvious that the US Government got it wrong in the first place. It tacitly supports Israel’s isolation of the Gaza Strip, and the dehumanizing of the Palestinian people. The civilized mind cannot comprehend how a foreign policy initiative to isolate and weaken Hamas (Islamic Resistance Movement) has somehow become muddled with the desire to starve out, maim and kill the entire people who live in the Gaza.
Ensuring that the basic needs of 1.5 impoverished people in the Gaza strip is a moral and humanitarian objective that must be realized by the civilized nations of the world. Isolating Hamas is a foreign policy objective that is distinctly separate, and should be pursued by Israel and the United States within the frame work of International Law. No nation of the world should be given a free pass to implement a policy, that in its vilest and most reprehensible form, is supported by a power that be, so that it survives the intent of reasonable people who see the need to mitigate it.
