American officials at the State Department are inquiring about the Israeli government's inexplicable ban on toilet paper in Gaza. Reports confirm that Israel has not allowed trucks of toilet paper and soap into the Gaza Strip. American officials are playing dumb. They are pretending that Israeli might have a reasonable explanation for their ban on toilet paper. Or they are buying time. There is simply no reason for this other than furthering collective punishment.
Giving Israel the benefit of the doubt is the name of the game in American politics.
According to the UN Food program, Israel has also denied entry to trucks of chick peas into besieged Gaza. Chick peas, or Hummus in Arabic, is an essential ingredient of Palestinian diet. It is used in hummus dip, falafel, maftool (otherwise known as couscous.) Notice any pattern -- they are all foods Israelis have claimed are Israeli foods. By denying the basic ingredient to Gaza, they are trying to actualize their pretend monopoly. Or, they know how chick peas make one gassy. Since they have made Gaza so densely populated with so many refugees, they are afraid a simultaneous fart by all Gazans will blow down Sderot and their precious new playground.
The list of banned martials continues to grow even as the world grows fed up with the Israeli siege. Israel already banned all construction materials and electronics, which Israel claims that Palestinians use to build rockets! Okay, but why toilet paper, soap and chick peas?The United States is the only party standing between fair trade for Gaza and dependence on humanitarian trade. The State Department's slowness to pressure Israel only increases its guilt by association.

Yesterday my colleagues and I, went to the capital theater to see some pictures of Gaza Genocide was taken by two US Congressmen, Birdd and Allison went to Gaza to see for themselves what is happening there, the theater was full of people we saw the pictures and that was a very disturbing live pictures, I have ever seen, also they talked about the Israilian banning food, like Tomato sauce and candies they said this kind food is leisure I was shocked just like you said they banned chick peace and some other kind of food. There is no doubt, the Israilian want to destroy Palestinian population by bomb and hunger, it is clear as day time and what are the United Nation doing or waiting for, to resolve this horrible destruction.
