Apartheid Israel violates Geneva Convent
Both the Catholic Church and US conservative politician Pat Buchanan describe Gaza as a \"concentration camp\"; outstanding US advocate Ralph Nader describes Gaza as an \"open air prison\"; and outstanding Jewish American scholar Professor Noam Chomsky describes Gaza as a \"huge Prison\". 
 
The failure of Apartheid Israel to supply life-sustaining requisites to its Gaza Concentration camp is a war crime that specifically violates 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)quoted below. 
 
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.  
 
Indeed Apartheid Israel has been blockading and bombing its Gaza Concentration Camp. Gazans killed by Israeli military in the last few weeks total about 1,300 VERSUS ZERO (0) Israelis killed by Gaza rockets in the preceding year, a \"reprisals death ratio\" of 1,300/0 =INFINITY that surely represents a ferocious expression of war criminality, racism and genocidal race hatred.  
 
Even Nazi arch-fiend Adolph Hitler recommended a \"reprisals death ratio\" of 10 which was effected on 24 March 1944 in the Ardeatine Caves Massacre, Rome, of 335 Italian men and boys as reprisals for the killing of 33 Nazi Germans by Partisans in Rome the day before (see; Palestinian-Israeli Death Ratios. Nazi-style Israeli Gaza War Crimes ).
