Isn't starving people because they practice democracy and elect
people you don't like a crime against humanity? Shouldn't the UN step in to help the Palestinian people? If the Palestinians were doing this to the Israelis we would have bombed them into history. How will there ever be peace in the ME or the world when powerful nations practice such double, evil standards? All this because the Palestinians held an election and elected a government we and the Israelis don't want? Why should any ME nation want a "democracy" is they can't elect who they want? And for this, the blood of US children is being spilled?

1. The Palestinians have a perfect right to elect
anyone they want.

That doesn't obligate anybody else to do business with baby-killers, though.

2. Israel is withholding Palestinians taxes that was collected on their
behalf, in accordance with previous agreements. It is *their* funds. In addition, US and Israel is pressuring nations to end aid to Palestinian people. This will result in an increase of hunger, and children will die.
