I appreciate GRALTA's efforts to sponsor what sound like very knowledgeable speakers on these difficult and fraught issues. I understand the strong feelings raised by some of the language used in the flyer. However, to me the bigger moral issue is the disproportionate level of death and destruction that Israel, with US support, has inflicted on Gaza. It's hard not to feel that the situation is hopeless, and that the wounds inflicted on both sides will make peace unattainable for generations to come. As a Jew who is strongly opposed to Israel's actions, I am heartbroken by the situation. There are many Jews who share my point of view -- and others who do not. I think it is important to have these difficult conversations -- strong language and all-- and welcome the opportunity to hear a range of ideas about how we might move forward towards a peaceful solution that recognizes both Palestinian and Israeli rights.
