Israel Is Still the World's Scapegoat
(Spiked-UK) Rob Killick - It is telling that Israel is the first and only country to have been charged with the war crime of starvation. The reality is that, so far at least, famine remains a "risk" only. There is no doubt that the war has, as wars do, brought hardship, danger and bloodshed to the people of Gaza. But Israel has made sure that enough aid has gone into the region to prevent starvation. It is generally accepted that Western economic sanctions, alongside the impact of civil war, worsened living conditions for Syrian civilians to the point of starvation. Yet where were the calls to put the U.S., the EU, or the UK in the dock for the consequences of their actions? Instead, the international community has congratulated itself on its role in bringing down the Assad regime. So why has Israel been singled out as it battles to cripple the terrorist Hamas regime in Gaza?
