Somebody posts saying they don't believe anybody was starving.. your response was to show they were. Your link states:
quote:
Major Guy Inbar, an Israeli military spokesman, said the calculation, based on a person's average requirement of 2,300 calories a day, was meant to identify warning signs to help avoid a humanitarian crisis, and that it was never used to restrict the flow of food.
Our govrment recommends less for most of the population
Even more so, you links states:
quote:
The food calculation, made in January 2008, applied the average daily requirement of 2,279 calories per person, in line with World Health Organisation's guidelines, according to the document.
So they were allowing more than Our Gov recommends and the World Health Organization....
But wait... more from your link:
quote:
Israel also used baffling secret guidelines to differentiate between humanitarian necessities and non-essential luxuries. The outcome was that military bureaucrats enforcing the blockade allowed frozen salmon and low-fat yogurt into Gaza, but not coriander and instant coffee.
Coriander.... 1 cal per 1/4 cup. Instant coffee.. sucks.
THE SINGLE MOST HILARIOUS PART OF YOUR ARTICLE:
quote:
While the embargo crippled Gaza's economy, at no point did observers identify a food crisis developing in the territory
Goes back to what I have asked over and over. If you have to LIE in order to keep your position... maybe you position is just not worth standing up for.

With all due respect, you're just an intellectually dishonest Israel-firster who has proven incapable of doing anything except regurgitating the most banal Likud talking points, and the fact that you would try to justify Israel's policy of calorie-counting Gazans proves this, since neither you nor anyone else on this board would ever tolerate our government doing this to us. You right-wingers can't stand Michelle Obama's PSA's advising us to eat healthier, so I can only imagine the violence that would ensue if the White House started forcibly limiting the amount of food we could eat. It sounds like something North Korea would do, and you actually have the nerve to try and spin it as benevolence by the Israeli government.
