Chief rabbi of Ukraine @RabbiUkraine writes on his Facebook page:

"The first photo shows my grandchildren hiding from Russian terrorists’ missiles in Kyiv region in the first days of the terrible invasion of Ukraine.

Later, together with thousands of people, we evacuated them to Israel and Europe.

In the second photo, the same people are hiding from Hamas terrorists’ missiles.

Two different parts of the world, but such a common pain and struggle… My heart breaks to see these faces, but I believe that the light of truth and faith will help us to go through these challenges

I pray to the Almighty to bring down his anger and fury on all those involved in the terror of civilians!"

    Israel’s policy of expanding settlements in West Bank and elsewhere was the primary cause of this.

    By making peaceful solutions impossible- by denying the Palestinians any space for life- Israel has left only terrorism and desperation

    Hamas and the Israeli right share responsibility for every death.

      Fascinating how you’re claiming Israel has made it impossible when Hamas is the one who not only refuses to negotiate, but openly calls for the murder of an entire group of people.

        The specific reason is because successive right-wing Israeli governments have empowered Hamas, while expanding settlements in the West Bank.

        By those policies, Israel has accomplished two things. A) increasing radicalization, and B), dis-empowering non militant. It’s not as if a rival group to Hamas even could operate in Gaza, and Israel has allowed that situation to come about through its material policies.

        It’s “fascinating” to you because you clearly don’t understand that context. Which is, I’ll note, broadly acknowledged by Israeli sources including a former PM (Ehud)
