Comment in question 10-01-2009 12:31 Racist Zionist (RZ) Apartheid Israeli wa Excellent article from top US law professor and anti-racist humanitarian, Professor Marjorie Cohn. International Law (as ably set out by Professor Cohn) and what Catholic theologians call \"the Natural Law\" BOTH tell us that blockading and starving 1.5 million Indigenous Palestinians (50% children, 75% women and children) held without charge or trial in a 41-year-duration Concentration Camp for Indigenous Palestinians and bombing them with naval and tanks shelling, high explosive bombs, cluster bombs and phosphorus bombs is WRONG (to say the least). Non-provision by an Occupier of life-sustaining food and medicine to Conquered Subjects to \"the fullest extent of the means available to it\" is a WAR CRIME as set out in Articles 55 and 56 of the Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War (see: Geneva Convention Relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War that are reproduced below for your convenience. QUOTE. Article 55 To the fullest extent of the means available to it the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring the food and medical supplies of the population; it should, in particular, bring in the necessary foodstuffs, medical stores and other articles if the resources of the occupied territory are inadequate. The Occupying Power may not requisition foodstuffs, articles or medical supplies available in the occupied territory, except for use by the occupation forces and administration personnel, and then only if the requirements of the civilian population have been taken into account. Subject to the provisions of other international Conventions, the Occupying Power shall make arrangements to ensure that fair value is paid for any requisitioned goods. The Protecting Power shall, at any time, be at liberty to verify the state of the food and medical supplies in occupied territories, except where temporary restrictions are made necessary by imperative military requirements. Article 56 To the fullest extent of the means available to it, the Occupying Power has the duty of ensuring and maintaining, with the cooperation of national and local authorities, the medical and hospital establishments and services, public health and hygiene in the occupied territory, with particular reference to the adoption and application of the prophylactic and preventive measures necessary to combat the spread of contagious diseases and epidemics. Medical personnel of all categories shall be allowed to carry out their duties. If new hospitals are set up in occupied territory and if the competent organs of the occupied State are not operating there, the occupying authorities shall, if necessary, grant them the recognition provided for in Article 18. In similar circumstances, the occupying authorities shall also grant recognition to hospital personnel and transport vehicles under the provisions of Articles 20 and 21. In adopting measures of health and hygiene and in their implementation, the Occupying Power shall take into consideration the moral and ethical susceptibilities of the population of the occupied territory. END QUOTE. Post-1945 the formerly Nazi Germans accepted a protocol that can be summarized by the acronym C4A (or CAAAA): Cessation of the killing, Acknowledgement of the crimes, Apology for the Crimes, Amends for the crimes and Assertion \"never again to anyone\". There must be comprehensive personal and collective, national and international Sanctions and Boycotts against Nazi-style, racist Zionist (RZ)-run Apartheid Israel and its racist, genocidal US, UK, EU and White Australian backers until the post-holocaust CAAAA (C4A)Protocol is rigorously satisfied. Just ONE glimpse of what Nazi-style, racist Zionist (RZ)-run Apartheid Israel and/or its racist, genocidal US, UK, EU and White Australian backers are doing TODAY, and indeed EVERY DAY, day in, day out in the Occupied Palestinian, Iraqi, Afghan, Haitian, Somalian, Syrian, Diego Garcian, Waziristani (Pakistani) Territories: from the latest UN Population Division data (see: UN Population Division ), the \"annual death rate\" is 1.6% (Occupied Palestinian under-5 year old infants), 2.5% (Occupied Iraqi under-5 year old infants), and 6.3% (Occupied Afghan under-5 year old infants) as compared to 10.2% for Australian prisoners of war of the Japanese in World War 2 (for which war crime Japanese generals were tried and hanged).
