Israel’s War in Gaza: A Moral Catastrophe 6/12/2025

                        Israel’s War in Gaza: A Moral Catastrophe

Israel’s war in Gaza is not only a humanitarian disaster—it is a moral and strategic catastrophe. As New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman warns, Israel’s indiscriminate bombing campaign is eroding Jewish values and endangering Jewish communities worldwide. Increased security around synagogues is not solely a response to antisemitism—it’s a reaction to Israel’s brutal conduct.
This alarm is echoed by prominent Israeli voices, including former air force officers and groups like Forum 555 and Commanders for Israel’s Security. They condemn Prime Minister Netanyahu’s war policy as one of political vengeance, not legitimate defense. Statements like “there are no innocents” reflect a shocking disregard for human life, as Gaza’s civilian population is bombed with impunity.
By rejecting diplomacy and embracing mass killing—including of children—Israel is destroying its moral credibility. This stains the global Jewish identity and fuels international backlash.
Diaspora Jews and the American public must speak out. True support for Israel means upholding democratic and ethical principles—not enabling authoritarian cruelty. The U.S. must end all military and economic aid, break the siege, and demand the immediate delivery of food and medical supplies through trusted humanitarian agencies. And foreign journalists must be granted access to Gaza and the West Bank to expose the truth—not just echo Israeli propaganda.
Silence is complicity. The time to act is now.
