"In November 2008 I visited Gaza and was shocked at the suffering of the people of Gaza, being under 'seige' as they are for over two years.  This collective punishment by the Israeli Government, has lead to a great humanitarian crisis.  Collective punishment of the civilian community by the Israeli  Government breaks the Geneva Convention, is illegal and is a war crime and crime against humanity.

"Instead of protecting the civilian community of Gaza and relieving their suffering by lifting the 'siege', the Israeli military  have carried out 7 days consecutive bombardment of civilians, by sea and air.  Dropping Israeli bombs from the air and sea  on unarmed civilians, many women and children, destroying mosques, hospitals, and and homes, and infrastructure,   is illegal and constitutes war crimes.    

"The deaths of people in Gaza is now over 600 with over 2,500 people injured – many women and children.  The infrastructure of Gaza has been destroyed, and the people cut off from the world – including journalists, Humanitarian workers, locked out of Gaza, and unable to go to the aid of the people.

"The UN  must help uphold Human rights and  Justice for Palestinian People, by seriously considering establishing an International criminal tribunal for Israel, (ICTI) in order that Israeli Gov., be held accountable for war crimes."
