This is one of those things that may be technically true if removed from its context, but doesn’t even occur to you unless you’re a heartless asshole. (Granted, we’re talking about lawyers here. Heartlessness is in the job description. But I digress…) In reality, I don’t think a lot of Palestinians are benefiting from having their land mercilessly bombed, their hospitals destroyed, and even their makeshift shelters targeted. Oh, and don’t forget the restrictions on aid and killing of doctors. Those things definitely outweigh any public health gains due to a reduction in obesity.
