What should we do?
The next time a well-meaning friend criticizes Israel’s approach, ask for a couple of suggestions of what Israel should do instead.
Fault-finding isn’t hard. But being realistic enough to provide other options, and then to follow through on where they might lead, this is what moral self-defense requires.
We should all agree that harming the blameless is wrong. The burden of ascertaining what is right is a burden that the criticized should not have to shoulder alone.
Am Yisrael Chai.
Rabbi William Hamilton
