So let me try to meet them on their own terms and explain why I believe American support for this war is a moral and practical catastrophe, doubly so now that Israel is planning another major drive into the territory.These are among the arguments that I hear from many of you who in good faith disagree strongly with me:Yes, the suffering in Gaza is horrific, but you\u2019re blaming the wrong party. Hamas started this war and Hamas can end it tomorrow by surrendering, giving up its weapons and returning the hostages it is still holding.On many visits to Gaza over the years, I\u2019ve seen Hamas\u2019s misrule, misogyny and brutality. Israel was justified in responding militarily to Hamas\u2019s horrific attack on Oct. 7, 2023. I would celebrate if Hamas were forced out of Gaza. But that\u2019s almost certainly not happening, and it\u2019s not clear what military objective the slaughter and starvation today are advancing.More than 600 retired Israeli security officials have said, \u201cHamas no longer poses a strategic threat to Israel.\u201d Families of Israeli hostages have warned that continuing this \u201cendless war without purpose\u201d endangers the lives of those hostages.True, the war would end if Hamas surrendered; that\u2019s true of the other side in any war. But enemies rarely oblige, and Hamas\u2019s unwillingness to surrender cannot justify what Israel has done with American complicity: the killing of an estimated 18,000 children, the starvation of a population and the leveling of entire neighborhoods. According to UNICEF, Gaza has the highest proportion of child amputees in the world.I\u2019ve covered many wars in my career, and Gaza is distinguished by its pointless destructiveness \u2014 at least 70 percent of Gaza\u2019s buildings have been damaged or destroyed. Add to that the fact that the United States provides weaponry, other forms of military assistance and diplomatic cover to Israel that contribute to a war effort that includes a series of incidents that seem very likely to be war crimes.Sign up for the Opinion Today newsletter Get expert analysis of the news and a guide to the big ideas shaping the world every weekday morning. Get it sent to your inbox.You cite these numbers as if they are undisputed facts. But that number of 18,000 dead children comes from a health ministry overseen by Hamas \u2014 why should we trust it? And starvation is disputed. Why can\u2019t you acknowledge that the situation on the ground in Gaza is more murky than ideologues claim?I\u2019ve talked to Gazans and to doctors and aid workers who have worked there. They all agree that Gazans are starving and dying of starvation. At some point, trying to dismiss hunger in Gaza amounts to a denial of a shameful reality.It\u2019s true that humanitarian organizations sometimes exaggerate \u2014 some were premature in 2024 to say that famine was already underway \u2014 but that is a reason for relentless empiricism and skepticism, not for crediting self-serving assertions by Israel\u2019s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu.When Hind Rajab, a 5- or 6-year-old Gazan girl, was killed, I held off writing about the case because Israel denied responsibility, and I wasn\u2019t sure what to believe. Additional information later emerged, strengthening the case that Israeli troops killed Hind, six members of her family and the paramedics trying to rescue her. There have been too many incidents like that, such as the killing of 15 emergency workers in March, leaving the Israeli government\u2019s credibility in tatters.As for how many have been killed, those numbers are indeed uncertain. Many experts believe they actually understate the total: One study published in The Lancet suggested that the official Gaza death toll through June 2024 undercounted deaths by 41 percent. UNICEF says 80 percent of those who have starved to death in the war are children.You\u2019re neglecting this: Gazans slaughtered and tortured Israelis, yet now Israelis are feeding Gazans. And you think the moral failure here is by Israel?I believe Hamas committed war crimes. But war crimes by one side in a conflict do not justify war crimes by another.Israel has this year attempted to bypass aid agencies by providing food through the newly created Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. The upshot was that hundreds of people were killed as they desperately tried to get food. Doctors Without Borders put it this way: \u201cThis is not aid. This is orchestrated killing.\u201dCritics of Israel engage in double standards. Whatever you think of Israel\u2019s behavior in Gaza, more children have starved to death in Sudan\u2019s famine, and more people were butchered in the 2020-22 war in Tigray, Ethiopia. Yet where is the outcry about Sudan or Tigray?You\u2019re right.However, that point cuts both ways. The Oct. 7 atrocities in Israel also received far more global attention than the killings of hundreds of thousands in Tigray, or the reports that an estimated 120,000 women were raped there. If you argue that the world is disproportionately obsessed with suffering in Gaza relative to other conflicts around the world, then isn\u2019t that also true of suffering in Israel?I\u2019ve traveled twice in the last year to cover the famine in Sudan and agree that it deserves more attention. But Gaza feels more personal because my tax dollars \u2014 our tax dollars \u2014 seem to be underwriting mass starvation there.The practical impact of critiques of Israel is to reward Hamas and encourage antisemitic attacks on Jews worldwide. The killing of two Israeli Embassy staff members in May, the attack against supporters of Israel in Boulder, Colo., in June \u2014 these arise when critics of Israel employ inflammatory language.Yes, I worry about that. Violence against Jews and supporters of Israel cannot be justified, full stop. And: While we ache at attacks on innocent Israelis, American Jews and Jews throughout the world, how can we not feel similar anguish at the deaths of innocent Gazans? A Palestinian child is the moral equivalent of an Israeli child and of an American child. And if you care about human rights only of Israelis or only of Palestinians, then you don\u2019t actually care about human rights.After 9\/11, the United States invaded two countries, and in World War II you Americans roasted civilians in Dresden and Hiroshima. And now you call for restraint?Yes, people overreact when they\u2019re traumatized by an attack. That was true of Americans after 9\/11, of Israelis after Oct. 7 and of Palestinians in their decades enduring dispossession. Overreaction to trauma is an explanation, but not a justification.To their credit, some Israeli human rights groups and citizens have stepped forward to protest the horrors of Gaza. They should inspire all of us. What\u2019s most important is not whether we are pro-Israeli or pro-Palestinian; it\u2019s that we be anti-massacre, anti-rape and anti-starvation.Indeed, it\u2019s the United States, which in this case cannot claim post-terror trauma as an excuse, whose behavior I find particularly inexcusable. Both President Joe Biden and President Trump have provided the weapons and diplomatic cover to perpetuate this tragedy, and they refused to use the leverage of those arms transfers to try forcefully to end the war.For almost two years, Americans have seen what was going on in Gaza, yet our leaders enabled mass killing and starvation. Gaza represents not some distant and inevitable tragedy, but our own moral and practical failing. We have blood on our hands.The Times is committed to publishing a diversity of letters to the editor.
