The conflict in Gaza: a view from Israel - The Lancet : Khamis Elessi1 writes as a physician describing the deteriorating situation in the Gaza Strip (or Gaza) and pleads to save the residents of Gaza from catastrophe.

An urgent call for the immediate release of Israeli hostages - The Lancet : The past few days have been harrowing for Israel. We are in shock at the greatest loss of civilian life since the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948.1 Civilians—Jewish, Christian, and Muslim—were massacred on a scale that is incomprehensible, in a calculated act of terror. Jewish families have been massacred in their homes, foreign agriculture workers have been slaughtered in the fields, hundreds of young people in a party were shot in the back while escaping,2 and Bedouin children have been shot dead by Hamas militia.

We’ve shared the full transcript of her remarks below. NCJW doesn’t normally protest government officials or elected… As a Zionist, this situation is very distressing.  Because if Israel continues on its downward trajectory, we (the USA, ) cannot be its ally. That's the honest truth.  Smotrich is a shanda.  He has no Jewish values.
