Hundreds of Jewish rabbis from all over the world, who follow multiple religious currents, signed a message calling on Israel to stop the use of starvation as a war weapon.
According to the newspaper “Times of Israel”, yesterday, Sunday, hundreds of rabbis (Jewish clerics) around the world signed a message, saying that “the Jewish people face a serious ethical crisis.”
In the letter, they explained: “We cannot turn a blind eye to the mass killing of civilians, including women, children and the elderly, or the use of starvation as a war weapon.”
The letter described what it considered “reducing humanitarian aid to Gaza”, and preventing food, water and medicine for civilians, as “contradicts the basic Jewish values.”
Although the United Nations and the international community asserted that Israel is causing the Palestinians to starve in the Gaza Strip, the Benjamin Netanyahu government has claimed the implementation of measures to facilitate the entry of aid, including opening new corridors, receiving aid from the air and setting temporary ceasefire periods.
The letter also criticized the policies of the Israeli government in the West Bank, and called for the cessation of settlers ’violence and the pursuit of the aggressors among them.
The letter concluded with an invitation to a dialogue that guarantees security for the Israelis, dignity and hope for the Palestinians, and a peaceful future for the region.
The message comes in light of the escalation of regional and international pressures as a result of the escalation of starvation in the sector and warnings of the danger of mass death that threatens more than 100,000 children in the sector.
The Gaza Strip is living one of the worst humanitarian crises in its history and in contemporary history, where the harsh starvation is overlapping with a mass extermination war launched by Israel since the seventh of October 2023.
With the complete closure of the crossings and the prevention of food and medicine from entering since the second of last March, the famine has spread throughout the sector, and the symptoms of acute malnutrition appeared on children and patients.
With an American support, Israel launches a genocide in Gaza, including killing, starvation, destruction and forced displacement, ignoring all international calls and orders to the International Court of Justice to stop it.
The genocide, with American support, left more than 204,000 Palestinians between a martyr and a wounded, most of them children and women, and more than 9,000 missing, in addition to hundreds of thousands of displaced people, and the famine that has been tired of many.
