Subject: Don't encourage the 30-33% of Gaza civilians still offering their children on Hamas' altar to continue by treating it as legitimate behavior

Dear Nicholas Griffin,

US Special Envoy David Satterfield said on Saturday that between 800,000 to a million people have moved to the south of the Gaza Strip, while 350,000-400,000 remain in the north.

Don't encourage the 30-33% of Gaza civilians still offering their children on Hamas' altar to continue by treating it as legitimate behavior

Best regards,
Dr. Aaron Lerner - IMRA

Your personal belief system system requires that you reduce the Palestinian to sub-human. Not the other way round. The Jewish experience has lead most people of conscience to resist that inclination, to resist being governed by hate and fear. Until you get over yours, you should prefer silence.

Dear Nicholas Griffin,

The overwhelming majority of parents in northern Gaza decided to value the lives of their families and took the short walk to the safety south of wadi Gaza.

Do you feel that the minority of parents who opted to remain in northern Gaza as human shields made a moral decision ?

I see that you direct an organization which is for "understanding" the Middle East.

I "understand" why some Gazan parent are willing to sacrifice their families as human shields just as I "understand" why a young Arab man may slaughter his sister to protect his family's reputation.

But there is a world of difference between "understanding" and "condoning".

Regards,

Secretary Blinken, shame on you for holding Gazan parents blameless for sacrificing their children Dr. Aaron Lerner 3 November 2023

I wish I could say that I am shocked by what Secretary Blinken has just said from Jerusalem.

But with a heavy heart, I am not surprised.

Shame on you, Mr. Blinken, for holding Gazan parents blameless for choosing to martyr their innocent families as human shields for Hamas terrorists, instead of joining the hundreds of thousands who took the short walk to the safety of South Gaza.

Instead, you call on us to sacrifice our own fathers, brothers, and sons in the service of your bizarre morality, which rewards Hamas for using human shields.

Of course, as expected, in the service of your fantasy about a two-state solution, you keep your eyes and ears shut with regards to how "peace partner" Fatah fits into what has transpired.

To be clear, while we appreciate the support that the United States has provided in this trying period, your words make it crystal clear to us just how dangerous it would be for the Jewish State to succumb to your foolish notions.
