For most Jewish Americans, whatever their political persuasion, support for Israel has been a bedrock principle. Thus it’s notable that a broad swath of U.S. Jews — reacting to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza — have been urging the Israeli government to do more to ensure the delivery of food and medicine.

 

The American Jewish Committee — a prominent advocacy group that strives to broadly represent Jews in the U.S. and abroad — stressed in its statement that it “stands with Israel in its justified war to eliminate the threat posed by Hamas.''

 

''At the same time, we feel immense sorrow for the grave toll this war has taken on Palestinian civilians, and we are deeply concerned about worsening food insecurity in Gaza,” said the AJC, urging Israel and other key parties “to increase cooperation and coordination in order to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches Palestinian civilians in Gaza."

 

With growing urgency, more US Jews urge Israel to ensure ample food deliveries to Gaza

 

The Rabbinical Assembly, a New York-based organization representing rabbis of the Conservative Movement, sounded a similar theme.

It is a daily issue for caregivers and aid workers to petition other international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and street vendors to supply the camp with what little food remains in the war-torn strip.

 

While they are just about able to get the bare minimum of nappies, milk, food and fuel, starvation is taking its toll on the children.

 

“Hunger has taken away the childhood [of Gaza’s children]”, Ms Alreqeb says. “They don’t have the power to play. Many children have stopped playing altogether.

Countries that 'don't prevent the Gaza genocide are complicit with Israel', activist says.

 

Speaking with FRANCE 24's Mark Owen about the destruction of the Gaza strip, Israeli columnist and activist Gershon Baskin says that 'the countries of the world that have relations with Israel and that don't use their leverage to stop the Gaza genocide are complicit in it'.

Hundreds of Hungarian Jews have denounced the Israeli government over its war in Gaza, and the groups that purport to represent them at home, where protests against Israel are largely banned.

 

“The one-sided, extreme statements of the current Israeli government and the domestic Jewish organizations and opinion leaders who dominate Hungarian public discourse do not represent our opinion,” said the letter. “We are speaking out to say that these influential actors do not act in our name, nor do they speak in our name. But we are here too.”

 

Over 300 Jews signed an open letter expressing their views, which was published online and subsequently gathered more than 1,400 total signatures from both Jews and non-Jews. It also drew a swift backlash from other community members in Hungary, where some 47,000 Jews live.

Always someone else's fault.
Too easy.
It's only the IDF that's destroying civilian housing and blocking food convoys.

The daughter of a Holocaust survivor has said proscribing Palestine Action was “a total erosion of our democracy” and that she plans to be arrested as part of a mass rally showing support for the protest group.

 

Carolyn Gelenter will be one of over 1,000 protesters in Parliament Square on Saturday, expected to write “I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action” and hold the signs aloft.

 

The 67-year-old, whose Polish father survived the Holocaust, told the Standard she was spurred into action after the group was named a terror organisation in July, days after two Voyager planes were damaged at an RAF base in Oxfordshire.
