What if it were your beautiful daughter who was being held in brutal captivity?There is no moral case for a ceasefire that doesn’t include Hamas’s surrender and a return of the hostages still living and the bodies of those killed.
I don’t want to keep recounting these horrors, but we must, as long as there are still people whose response is conditional. Who respond with, yes … but Israel really is the oppressor.
