Good piece, worth reading. Also, very important to note that not all Jews and Israelis support this terrible collective punishment. It is not just a moral crisis but an ongoing human rights violation. Heres part of a message from Rabbi Sharon Brous of LA to her congregation (separate from this article): Responding to the death of children with the deaths of more children is the ultimate desecration of the Holy One and negation of our own humanity. For the past three weeks, we heard again and again the self-congratulatory insistence that “we” love life, while “they” celebrate death; “we” educate our children, while “they” martyr theirs. Now is the time to say: no more false distinctions. No more abuse of religious language to promote a murderous political agenda. No more we and they. All of us love our children. All of us mourn the loss of life. All of us know that more and more and more violence is not the answer. All of us yearn for peace.
