A FOME COMO INSTRUMENTO DE GENOCÍDIO: a política de extermínio da população palestina por Israel
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.9771/ccrh.v39i0.70208Palavras-chave:
Fome, Faixa de Gaza, Genocídio, IsraelResumo
O artigo analisa a política de fome imposta por Israel na Faixa de Gaza, argumentando que ela não pode ser compreendida como mero instrumento de guerra, mas como prática deliberada de extermínio que integra o genocídio em curso contra o povo palestino. O artigo adota uma metodologia de estudo de caso descritivo, articulando a descrição cronológica das medidas israelenses de bloqueio e restrição alimentar com estatísticas e relatórios produzidos por organizações internacionais. A análise evidencia a intencionalidade da política de fome, a fragilidade do sistema internacional diante da inoperância de instituições multilaterais e o papel exercido pelos EUA no Conselho de Segurança.
