Do not the aid agencies distribute food for free?

There is very little food in the Gaza Strip, which is why people are starving. The vast malority of them are not starving because they lack money. The international agencies are allowed to supply only a very small amount of food.

We have to work to get the workers around the world to impose a blockade on all trade with the State of Israel until the blockade on the Gaza Strip is lifted, and the ceasefire re-established.

There is very little food in the Gaza Strip because of the blockade by the State of Israel. All exports of any kind to Israel should cease until the blockade is ended and the ceasefire re-established. Trades unions around the world should boycott all links with the State of Israel.

From who exactly would you ask for money if you lived in the Gaza Strip?
Is there much spare cash after the majority of the buildings have been smashed?
Given that there is a blockade imposed by the State of Israel on food and medicine, from where would you get the food that you needed?

Food should go to people on the basis of need, not on the basis of ability to pay.

That is not a proper answer. If you want Chris Vince to cease to be an MP on the grounds that you do not agree with his policies, then you have to be able to say who you think would implement the policies with which you agree. It would certainly not be a Liberal Democrat or a Conservative.

There is an international consensus amongst scholars of genocide that the State of Israel is committing genocide in the Gaza Strip, a consensus that includes two Israeli scholars, Shmuel Lederman and Raz Segal.
Enjoy your genocide. You cannot say that you did not know the UK was complicit.

It is an established principle in law that is permissible to commit a crime in order to prevent a greater crime. International scholars of genocide are agreed that genocide is occurring in the Gaza Strip. The UK is a party to the Genocide Convention which obliges states to prevent genocide.

Four women were acquitted of criminal damage to a warplane at a British Aerospace plant in 1996 after they argued that their actions were reasonable under the Genocide Act 1969. The warplane was scheduled to be exported to the Republic of Indonesia, which was committing genocide in East Timor.

I don't understand how donating money will help. People are starving in the Gaza Strip because the State of Israel has imposed a blockade. The problem is the blockade, not a shortage of money.

Writing from Britain, I would say that whether or not someone believes in a god is irrelevant. It is what they do that matters.

Dylan repudiated all that in 1964 in his song "My Back Pages" on his fourth album, "Another Side of Bob Dylan". He broke with the politics of Seegar and Guthrie.

Thanks for this. I am tempted to buy it, but I have some other books that I ought to read first.
