“Unless the international community takes meaningful action against Israel,” he warned, “there is no reason to expect that either this violence or the starvation of two million people will end.” He called for immediate suspension of arms sales and military aid to Israel, the imposition of sanctions, and support for international legal investigations into the ongoing atrocities.
