Weekly Commentary: Rabbis of Sodom Letter Rewarding Gazan Child Sacrifice As
Human Shields
Dr. Aaron Lerner 1 August 2025

Over the course of the Gaza war the IDF has repeatedly made huge efforts to
warn the civilian population to evacuate areas to safety before we launched
an attack.

This meant sacrificing an element of surprise which both degraded the
efficacy of the operations and endangered our soldiers.

While some Gazans opted to save the lives of their families, many others
chose to literally sacrifice their families as human shields in the defense
of Hamas.

Recently more than a thousand rabbis from around the world signed a letter
condemning Israel for the large number of civilian deaths in Gaza.

While it could be said that Hamas is responsible for the deaths, this
should, in no way, relieve the Gazan parents of their moral obligations,

Those grossly immoral Gazan parents who sacrificed their children as human
shields for Hamas deserved the condemnation of the world.

Instead, the rabbis who signed the letter effectively rewarded the Gazan
parents for participating in these acts of massive child sacrifice.

Hamas and its collaborators are PR experts.

I daresay that if from day one the pages of Haaretz, the New York Times and
social media were flooded with calls on Gazan parents to choose life for
their families that many of those children sacrificed by their Gazan parents
would be alive today.

These rabbis, along with all the others who failed to condemn child
sacrifice, also have the blood of these Gazan children on their hands.

Shame on them for their false morality.
