The Geneva Conventions are not political trickery, but rather a model for international relations between nations. They set a legal and ethical standard by which countries should be judged. Israel and Egypt, though more Israel, are responsible for rationing what goods may enter Gaza to an extreme where starvation and abject poverty are the norm. Innocent people are suffering, ShadowEx. Unless you can somehow demonstrate that all of the 1.5 million people in Gaza are directly responsible for rocket attacks and such, it
is collective punishment, and as such is a violation of the Geneva Conventions.
