Sydney Kaye’s stream of letters defending everything Israel does without any reference to the torrent of information about conditions in Gaza and the West Bank is getting more than a little tiresome, and I am forced to query his basic humanity (“Palestinians’ futile terrorism”, July 27).
I refer him and your readers to the latest report, just released, by Israel-based Physicians for Human Rights, which after providing expensive analysis comes to the “unavoidable conclusion” that Israel is breaching Article II of the Geneva Convention on genocide.
It concludes that Israel is deliberately inflicting harm to, and killing, Palestinians to destroy the intended life conditions in whole or part of the population in Gaza, and is in flagrant breach of international law, let alone basic standards of morality.
