“there are many other ways to spare civilian lives in Gaza that do not amount to Israel laying down its arms. Not only did Hamas start this war, it is entirely within its power to end it.
It could always surrender, of course. Or it could leave Gaza. It could stop sheltering among civilians, or it could allow civilians to shelter in its extensive network of tunnels or otherwise escape the war, rather than use them as human shields. Above all, it could end its campaign of annihilation against Israel, and stop murdering Israeli civilians. As a down payment, it could release the hostages.
If it did any one of these things, no Gazans would be dying. Why, then, is this never suggested? Hamas’s actions are taken as a given. Only Israel is presumed to have moral obligations, or moral agency.”

This morning we were woken up at 6.30 am by sirens in #TelAviv. We rushed to get our kids in the bomb shelter. The horror was only starting - #Hamas terrorists invaded #Israel and have executed families, elderly, children and kidnapped countless. We are at war! #Israel
