       "It is a famine that we could have prevented, if we had been allowed. Yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel.It is a famine within a few hundred metres of food, in a fertile land."Read the full comments from the UN's Tom Fletcher:https://www.unocha.org/news/un-relief-chief-says-gaza-famine-must-spur-world-urgent-action

       I don't understand how Israel isn't under the same sort of economic sanctions as Russia is for its invasion of Ukraine. What Israel is doing is immeasurably worse and yet the best that Western countries can do is threaten to recognise the State of Palestine. It's not enough and will make no difference to those starving and dying in Gaza right now.Even the Irish government is prevaricating. The time for an Occupied Territories Bill is past, we need to see a complete boycott of Israel.
