De Israelische belegering van de Palestijnse getto, dat Gaza heet, krijgt genocidale trekken:
'Israel plans to ‘isolate Gaza 100%’

JERUSALEM: Israel plans to paralyse the infrastructure of the Gaza Strip in every possible way and separate itself completely from the Palestinian territory in the long term, a minister said yesterday. “We want to separate ourselves from the Gaza Strip at the level of its infrastructure in every way possible,” Deputy Defence Minister Matan Vilnai told Israeli public radio. On Thursday Defence Minister Ehud Barak announced that Israel would start periodic electricity cuts and limit fuel deliveries to the Strip because of the continued firing of rockets by militants. But Vilnai said these measures were not really because of the rocket firing “but really to achieve the separation of this territory, which was approved in principle two weeks ago by the Israeli government, and whose application had only been delayed for a simple legalistic check.” In September, the security cabinet decreed the Gaza Strip “a hostile entity.” It has been controlled completely by Hamas since mid-June when the Islamist movement ousted security forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and the Fatah party. “Long term we want to separate ourselves from this territory, 100%,” said Vilnai, adding that at the moment Israel was providing all the fuel that the Gaza Strip needed, as well as two-thirds of its electricity supplies. “Currently, more than 100 lorries loaded with food and basic necessities coming from Israel enter the Gaza Strip each day to avoid a humanitarian crisis, but we also have to find an alternative solution at this level,” Vilnai said. Since the Hamas takeover the Israelis have imposed a tight vice around the Gaza Strip, closing crossing points and only allowing through essential products. Palestinians and human rights groups charge that the noose around the Strip amounts to collective punishment of civilians, contrary to international law.'

Het getto van Warschau werd opgericht door de Duitse gouverneur-generaal Hans Frank op 16 oktober 1940. Bij de oprichting werd de bevolking van het getto geschat op ongeveer 380.000 mensen, ongeveer 30% van de bevolking van Warschau. Het getto was maar 2,4% van de grootte van Warschau. Nazi's bouwden op 16 november van dat jaar een muur rond het getto, waardoor het van de buitenwereld werd afgesloten. Tijdens de volgende anderhalf jaar werden Joden van kleinere steden en dorpen naar het getto gebracht, terwijl ziektes en ondervoeding het bevolkingsaantal ongeveer gelijkhielden.
Nu in Israel, zelfde methode, andere slachtoffers.
