I support Ms. Rachel’s speaking out on behalf of all children, including those in Gaza, whom Israel has killed and maimed in the tens of thousands, using bombs, incendiaries, tanks, artillery and starvation.
The most horrific and depraved killing method is by sniper fire — IDF soldiers deliberately taking aim at the heads and hearts of children, from toddlers to teenagers, as reported by several non-Palestinian volunteer doctors who are serving in the few remaining Gaza hospitals.
I question the legitimacy of those who say it’s “antisemitic” to wish for a stop to the mass murder of children.
