The world has now witnessed the depraved actions of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) for 14 months: Laying siege to hospitals, refugee tents, or both. Eyewitness accounts from U.S. surgeons of snipers shooting children in the head. Double tap airstrikes on civilians helping a boy with an injured leg. Medical doctors likely raped to death. These
systematic war crimes are so widespread, so extensively documented, that they now merit their own database for academic study.
Yet on January 5th, the St. Louis Jewish Community Center will provide a hero’s welcome to Myles Rosenblum – an IDF soldier and brother-in arms to those committing these very atrocities. We consider this a deep moral failure and we call for this event to be cancelled.
