Correction: End the occupation—Palestinians have suffered enough

CORRECTION: In the November 2023 edition of The Union, in an opinion story called “End the occupation—Palestinians have suffered enough,” reporter Maryam Mohamed misattributed a statement from the Geneva Convention to the Times of Israel, stating, “According to the Times of Israel, Israel is imposing collective punishment—an international war crime—on the entire Gazan population because, in the words of the Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, Israel is ’fighting human animals” and “are acting accordingly.’”

The correct text should be, “According to the Times of Israel, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said that Israel imposed a ’complete siege’ on the entire Gazan population because Israel is ‘fighting human animals’ and ‘are acting accordingly.’ Collective punishment is a war crime, according to the Geneva Convention.”
