>> There are in Israel more than a few politicians and public figures calling to end the war. There are many people who are fighting courageously for the release of the hostages...

>> ... Few express concern publicly not only about Israel's reputation and moral standing but also, and chiefly, about the fate of Gaza's inhabitants.

>> The human shock over what happened on October 7 has not been replaced by a similar shock over what Israel is doing in Gaza... "Please do not disturb, we are still in October 7."

>> But since then, we have committed a thousand October 7s, and these have not managed to touch the hearts of Israelis...

>> The war must stop first of all because it is a war of destruction, causing inhuman suffering to the people of Gaza. There is no one in Israel who will put it in those words.
