Calling for a Ceasefire Is an Antisemitic Demand that Jews Endorse Our Own Genocide


(Newsweek) Hen Mazzig - As an Israeli Jew who helped Palestinian civilians during my five-year service in the Israel Defense Forces, I would love nothing more than for our two peoples to live side-by-side in peace. The only thing standing between us and a ceasefire is Hamas, a terrorist organization whose raison d'etre is to eliminate Israel and kill Jews. Calls for a ceasefire are neither a commitment to human rights nor an effort to preserve life. Instead, they are a demand that Jews not defend themselves from genocide. Calling for a ceasefire at this juncture is a demand that Jews lay down and accept the attacks against them. Pressuring Israel, which is on a rescue mission to release its citizens from captivity and bring a group of barbaric death agents to justice, will do nothing to bring peace to humanity or the region.
