Israeli citizenry feeling the shame

Israel's citizenry: punish our nation! *We, Israelis dedicated to a peaceful future for our country and our Palestinian neighbours, write this with grave shame, in rage and in agony. Our country is starving the people of Gaza to death and contemplating the forced removal of millions of Palestinians from the Strip. The international community must impose crippling sanctions on Israel until it ends this brutal campaign and implements a permanent ceasefire.*

• seizing village land, historical land and water,
• destruction of herds and orchards,
• killing civilians of all persuasions,
• and cruelty,

all of it steeped in blaming the Palestinians.
