Yes, if you ignore the Geneva convections and accept "the letter of the law" as whatever Israel decides, then sure.
Do you think it is at least immoral to do this, as I asked Pointman? Keeping in mind these individuals did not kidnap, rape or shoot anyone.
As to Canada and it's ugly complicated history, yes, Israel could learn a thing or two. You will notice we don't evict them from their homes while bombing and maiming their children in this modern day and age. Times have changed. We are righting past wrongs. Israel is still in the "wronging" phase, and that is why we condemn. We should all know better about subjecting a people to inhumane treatment, collective group punishment, and starvation. Jews, least of all MUST know better, right? I know I do. Do you?
