"There are many opinions on the Mideast conflict, but one thing is certain: the situation in Gaza is a humanitarian and human rights disaster, and it cannot continue"
David Love, a human rights advocate in Philadelphia and member of the Editorial Board member of BlackCommentator.com, discusses the denial of human rights in Gaza and Taanit Tzedek's efforts to uphold these rights. He quotes from a sermon by Rabbi Linda Holtzman, one of the members of the founding rabbinical minyan of Jewish Fast for Gaza:
“The men and women who have formed the settlements on the West Bank love Israel. All of those who have built barriers, set up roadblocks, and stopped humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, love Israel,” Rabbi Linda said. “I too love Israel, but under no circumstances can I condone these actions, and my understanding of love and the limits love demands will not let me sit quietly by while this is taking place.”
