But is it a humanitarian crisis?

Depends on whether you think people in Gaza are humans or not.

Yes, very cynical of me to say that, but I'm judging Israel by their actions, and it seems obvious to me that this is their thinking.
This is not how you treat other human beings.
An ant or cockroach infestation in your house, yes - humans, no.

The backlash from supporters of Israel around the world will be great.
