It’s true, as Israeli officials note, that Hamas hides behind civilians — but Israel has a responsibility to value Palestinian lives even if Hamas doesn’t.

For now, Israel is turning entire neighborhoods in Gaza to rubble. About 100 United Nations employees have been killed in Gaza along with more than 30 journalists — and more than 4,300 children, by the count of the Gaza Health Ministry, which is under the Hamas government but whose numbers have been regarded as generally reliable by the State Department and humanitarian agencies. The United Nations says that 1,350 children are missing and may be buried in the debris.

Biden needs to say: “Israel, we are covering your flank militarily with our two aircraft carriers, financially with $14 billion in aid and diplomatically at the U.N. The price for that is your acceptance of a peace framework based on two states for two indigenous peoples in Gaza, the West Bank and pre-1967 Israel.” This plan is based on U.N. Resolutions 242 and 338."

 

I know that a lot of American Jewish leaders privately would love Biden to put forward such a plan, but so far only one, Ronald Lauder, a longtime Republican and the president of the World Jewish Congress, has had the courage to call for it — in a Saudi newspaper, no less, in an essay titled, “A Time for Peace and a Two-State Solution.” As he explained, “Only a two-state solution would guarantee Israelis and Palestinians a life in dignity, safety and with a better perspective on the economic situation, which would lead to a sustainable future.”
