The logic goes as follows: Israel has the right to occupy Palestinian land, lay siege to Palestinian populations in Bantustans surrounded by an apartheid wall, starve the population, cut them off from fuel and electricity, uproot their trees and crops, and launch periodic raids and targeted assassinations against them and their elected leadership, and if this population resists these massive Israeli attacks against their lives and the fabric of their society and Israel responds by slaughtering them en masse, Israel would simply be "defending" itself as it must and should

International aid agencies have confirmed that the situation in Gaza is now
a full-blown humanitarian crisis to say the least. Mosques, Schools,
hospitals, homes and markets have all been targeted by the Israeli Military
(Terrorists in Uniforms). Food, medicines, water and electricity are all in
short supply according to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for
Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). Over 1150 Palestinians 40% children have been
killed by the Israeli Bombs and the number of injured stands at over 5000
with children accounting for more than 35 percent.
Our Prophet pbuh said (meaning): "That Allah in the assistance of His
servant while the servant assisting his brothers and sisters". Also, he pbuh
said (meaning) "Who ever seen an oppressed and can help but did not will not
smell the fragrance of Jannah"

What can we do in Hawaii?

Israeli intelligence officers are telephoning Gazans and, in good Arabic, pretending to be sympathetic Egyptians, Saudis, Jordanians or Libyans, Gazans say and Israel has confirmed. After expressing horror at the Israeli war and asking about the family, the callers ask about local conditions, whether the family supports Hamas and if there are fighters in the building or the neighborhood.

Israeli Military Prevents Emergency Ambulance Care for Four Days

As confirmed by the United Nations, the people in the Gaza Strip face a “critical emergency.” Over 12 days, the Israeli offensive has killed roughly 660 Palestinians (at least one-quarter noncombatants, including many women and children) in comparison with Hamas killing three Israeli civilians and three Israeli soldiers (with four more soldiers killed in friendly fire). More ominously, a population of 1.5 million people is trapped in a small land mass subject to a devastating militarily onslaught and severe shortages of food and medical needs.
