Article 54 of the 1977 Protocol to the 1949 Geneva Conventions

[peoli]

....prohibits the"starvation of civilians as a method of warfare", states:

"It is prohibited to attack, destroy, remove or render useless objects indispensable to the survival of the civilian population, such as foodstuffs, agricultural areas for the production of foodstuffs, crops, livestock, drinking water installations and supplies and irrigation works, for the specific purpose of denying them for their sustenance value to the civilian population or to the adverse Party, whatever the motive, whether in order to starve out civilians, to cause them to move away, or for any other motive."

Might is right and my side s never wrong.

Just think about the UN Security calling an emergency meeting today - you think they would include the slaughter of those four Palestinian children on the agenda - right - no wrong.
