Fourteen members of the U.N. Security Council released a joint statement, accusing Israel of starving the population of the Gaza Strip. “The use of starvation as a weapon of war is clearly prohibited under international humanitarian law,” they said.
It’s not that these 14 governments will take any action against Israel. For almost two years, they have been watching the Israeli military kill more than 60,000 civilians in Gaza, destroy thousands of homes as well as schools and hospitals, and block food delivery to Gaza’s two million people.
But even empty words were too much for the Security Council’s 15th member: the U.S. did not sign the declaration. No surprise there—the U.S. has been providing the bombs for Israel to perpetrate these unspeakable crimes against a whole population.
