The Israeli government are breaking international law which prohibits the collective punishment of civilian populations. Governments like the USA, United Kingdom who support Israeli governments genocidal policies must also be held legally responsible. These governments are supporting the deaths of Palestinians, many of which are children and the destruction of their land.
