Jimmy Carter: A Human Rights Crime In Gaza

The world is witnessing a terrible human rights crime in Gaza, where a million and a half human beings are being imprisoned with almost no access to the outside world by sea, air, or land. An entire population is being brutally punished.

This gross mistreatment of the Palestinians in Gaza was escalated dramatically by Israel, with United States backing, after political candidates representing Hamas won a majority of seats in the Palestinian Authority parliament in 2006.

Former US President Jimmy Carter joins an ever-growing list of academics and influential people who know that the Israeli Defense Forces’ (IDF) abuses in the Occupied Territories must be called out.
