The death toll from Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has topped 2,700, including more than 1,000 Palestinian children.
Collective punishment is a punishment or sanction imposed on a group for acts allegedly perpetrated by a member of that group, which could be an ethnic or political group, or just the family, friends and neighbors of the perpetrator.
As the humanitarian crisis worsens, we get an update from Omar Shakir, Israel and Palestine director at Human Rights Watch, who says conditions in Gaza are dire, as Israel has cut off access to electricity and safe water, and many disabled and ill residents are physically unable to obey the evacuation order. This comes as Israeli President Isaac Herzog said his government holds the entire population of Gaza, including civilians and children, responsible for Hamas’s attack. “People in Gaza are saying their goodbyes to the world,” says Shakir, who also discusses Israel’s use of white phosphorus, an illegal weapon of war.
