Ethan Bronner of The New York Times reports in today's paper that Israel will not allow Fulbright scholars from Gaza to leave and come to the U.S. to study.
Talk about collective punishment! These gifted students have not fired missiles at Israel, they have not shot at Israeli troops, they have not instigated violence. Nonetheless, Israel will not allow them to leave Gaza to study abroad. This is the very essence of collective punishment - punishing the population because of acts of a small minority.
