[Ha'aretz] Yuval Yoaz - In a letter to the High Court of Justice, the State Prosecution on Friday defended the government's decision to curb the supply of fuel and electricity to Hamas-controlled Gaza, claiming it is not a form of collective punishment. The State Prosecution argued the measure was appropriate considering that the area is controlled by an organization that calls for the destruction of the State of Israel and is used as a base for militants who launch regular rocket attacks against its civilian population. "One can claim that any measure made within the context of an armed conflict is a form of collective punishment of the civilians of that state; a mistaken and absurd argument that counters international law and common practice." "According to such an incorrect argument, imposing a financial boycott or pressure on countries such as South Africa during the Apartheid, or Iran today, would not be possible because any such measure would hurt the populace of the said country." 2007-11-05 01:00:00Full Article
