Gaza: EMERGENCY!

Yesterday, I was talking with a friend of mine who identifies as a secular Jew. He felt I was "anti-semitic." When I asked him how he figured, he pointed to my raging hatred of anything having to do with IDF/Israel.
When faced with the deeds of Israel, I don't know how anyone can not be filled with rage.

Gaza's humanitarian situation is at its worst since Israel occupied the territory in 1967!

Israel's blockade on Gaza is illegal collective punishment which fails to deliver security.
The blockade has dramatically worsened levels of poverty and unemployment, and has led to deterioration in education and health services.
More than 80% of population rely on humanitarian aid.
Unemployment is about 40%.
No running water for 25-30% of Gazans.


Last week Israeli forces launched a bloody and destructive raid in northern Gaza, in which more than 120 Palestinians - including many civilians - were killed.
