Israeli officials created the blockade of the Gaza Strip by their rejection of a free and fair election in 2006 which was certified by world leaders such as Jimmy Caret and they have gone on to target a whole civilian population (mostly children under 17yrs of age ) and their leaders by imprisoning them in an apartheid like system and denying them their essential freedoms and movement to interact with the outside world to conduct their internal & external affairs and to trade their goods and obtain essential services. Thus it is beyond time for the UN and others to acept this cruel and collective punishment of Gazans by the tyrants in Israel. The General Secretary should move immediately to revoke Israel's membership in the UN before people are in the streets condemning Israel and the UN for not taking direct measures to rein in the outlaws in Israel. They are such a lowly bunch of individuals picking on a defenseless population.... Dutch
