The siege is unnecessary and it violates the most basic human rights all people should enjoy. It has made Gaza into the world's largest open air prison camp. It has created great want among the people living in Gaza and untold suffering of innocent children. It also violates the most important teaching of the Torah, the teaching of compassion for all downtrodden and marginalized peoples. That is what the essential Jewish concept of Tsdakah (righteousness, charity) is all about. The siege violates, moment by moment, this essential tenet of Judaism.
