Turns out that the people that turned off food water and power in order to collectively punishing an ethnic population is not very interested in helping the people that they are punishing.
Turns out the terrorist organization holding 200 civilians hostage won’t release them in order to save the people they pretend to be fighting for.
And that makes it ok to collectively punish a larger population based solely on ethnicity?
First, it’s Hamas collectively punishing its own people by not playing by the rules of war themselves and taking civilian hostages. It’s not based on ethnicity, like Hamas’ charter’s call to eradicate all Jews is based on ethnicity. This has to do with a population who, in 2006 decided to democratically elect a designated terrorist grouping to be their government. They are reaping what they have sowed.
