If your way of defending Israel's policy is to split hairs over the defenition of blockade, while children are dying of starvation because Israel is not allowing enough aid into Gaza, well, you're doing it wrong.

55 years of occupation, annexation of Jerusalem and 600.000 or so settlers. Israel is worried that the ICJ will conclude that this doesn't look temporary.

What's the best rejection argument you have received from a peer-reviewer? And by best I mean worst. Mine is: "This was an interesting article about president Carter, but I would have preferred reading about Nixon"

I am continuosly baffeled by framing 'settlement freeze' as Israeli concession. Settlements are illegal according to international law, so bar should be set at dismantlement. Having 'settlement freeze' as a concession illsustrates extent of Israel's power of defining conflict.

Even at the best of times defunding UNRWA would have tragic consequences for millions of people. Defunding it now, under the present condictions, is tantamount to murder. UNRWA is the main lifeline for much of Gaza's population.
