Palestinians starving in Syria

When Palestinians die in other countries, does anyone notice? Or is it just when they have difficulties in Israel? Khaled Abu Toameh writes,

Palestinians are being starved to death. But this is not happening in the West Bank or Gaza Strip. Nor is it taking place in Israel.

Rather, this is happening in an Arab country, Syria, while the international community continues to turn a blind eye to the tragedy.

According to reports from Syria, some 20,000 Palestinians living in Yarmouk face death from starvation as a result of the siege on the camp that began last July.

The Palestinians once again feel betrayed by their Arab brothers, who continue to pay lip service to the Palestinian cause while at the same time starving them to death, killing them and displacing them.

As for the international community, no one seems to be worried about the starving Palestinians in an Arab country. After all, this is not taking place in Israel and no Israelis are involved.
