Nobody,

The intentionally-created famine and water shortage may be the worst war crime of all. There aren’t enough bombs to kill everyone, but starvation and thirst will.

Human beings should not be treated this way. At least allow humanitarian aide in for innocent civilians. Children.

TimeNaan,

The cruelty is absolutely the point here. They want to ethnicly cleanse them, whichever way is quickest before the international community actually does anything about it.

AmosBurton,

Quickest and safest was would be from the air, and it would be over rather quickly.

TimeNaan,

Not really, bombing every civilian is very expensive and likely impossible. Starving them is free and effective.

AmosBurton,

Really? I belive A few large bombs are cheaper that drafting so many people and being at war for so long. Think of just the social services that go along with wartime. Anything from widdow compensation to solder psychologist evaluations.

Just guessing though.

Starvation of civilian populations is a time honored military strategy. Bonus if you starve them out, then use catapults to launch infected/rotten livestock over the walls.

“Chivalry was abandoned, too, if the fight dragged on, such as when Henry V had dead animals thrown into the wells of Rouen in France during his siege of 1418-19 CE. Catapults might launch manure and corpses in the hope of spreading disease amongst the enemy.”

Which Monty Python reversed for comedy in Holy Grail:

Tryptaminev,

And it has been clear since the 10. October after Israel stated to block all food, water, electricity, medial aid and other goods for basic human survival, stating to fight “Human animals” and stating that “there is no uninvolved Civilians”
