Israel has become a pariah because of its bombing massacres of thousands of innocent Palestinians in Gaza.
Like many other American Jews I am appalled by the slaughter and unpersuaded by the attempt to justify it.
The Biden administration, while supporting Israel’s right to defend itself, is privately exerting pressure to have a ceasefire declared. This might make it impossible to destroy Hamas, which is Israel’s objective.
But the cost in innocent lives is already unbearably high.
