Israel/Gaza: Israeli Blockade Unlawful Despite Gaza Border BreachNGO Monitor gives an analysis of the HRW article, preceded by a summary:
o The statement written by Joe Stork of Human Rights Watch (HRW) condemning Israel’s response to rocket bombardment from Gaza exploits and distorts international law.Just your average HRW hit piece.
o Of the 34 paragraphs, Stork only mentions the hundreds of rocket attacks against Israel in two sentences, demonstrating the double standards in this invective.
o HRW’s claim that Gaza remains “occupied” is a politically based fiction designed to negate Israel’s legal and moral right to self-defense.
o There is no legal or moral precedent for a country to be forced to provide a hostile neighbor with the means to continue attacks on its territory and against its civilians.
o HRW’s statement is a moral muddle that further undermines the universality of human rights.
