Israeli Limiting Food To Gaza Based on Calorie Count

This is how oppressive and cruel Israel. That it is minute and long has been in devising ways to make the native Palestinians suffer. Israel and the Zionists have done this for awhile.

Up until the Oslo peace process, for instance, Israel prohibited the colors of the Palestinian flag in the 1967 occupied territories and even banned the peace symbol. Imagine such Orwellian tyranny! And this is a nation that likes to conveniently talk about peace.

Israel's record is full of petty harassment of the Palestinians. Banning, say, a plant in the West Bank just to irritate Palestinian farms. All of this oppression is meant to embed within Palestinians a sense of defeatism and demoralization which Israel believes is its only way of subduing the Palestinians and securing its place in the region.

But this only engenders even more angry and bitterness which stiffens resistance, and has only meant that Israel has lost the chance of ever securing its place in the region and that Israel has only brought up its end more readily.

But Israelis are self-righteous, believe their false narrative, short-sighted, and believe that they are God's 'Chosen People' who protects them.

That is why they keep on this path of oppression, even to the degree of counting calories in efforts meant to collective punish Palestinians:

BBC News has seen documents, submitted to an Israeli Court, which give more detail than ever before about how and why Israel maintains its Gaza blockade.

In one document, Israel describes the import curbs as "a central pillar in the armed conflict with Hamas".

It also confirms estimates were made of how many calories Gazans need, but says these were not used for policy-making.

Israel says the blockade is to pressure Hamas, which does not recognise Israel and backs attacks on its citizens.

Three years ago, after the Islamist Hamas movement seized power, Israel and Egypt tightened their closure of Gaza's borders, leaving the territory's 1.5 million inhabitants facing acute shortages.

But Israel has never published a list of banned items, saying it approves requests on a case-by-case basis.

A nation like this deserves neither sympathy nor existence.
