Palestinians evacuate the wounded following an Israeli aerial bombing on Jabaliya, near Gaza City, Wednesday, Oct.11, 2023 Several dozen Pennsylvania-based Islamic organizations and Muslim rights groups issued a letter Thursday criticizing Gov. Josh Shapiro for what they see as Shapiro omitting the suffering of Palestinians in his comments so far on the conflict in Israel and Gaza.
“Not only did you fail to recognize the structural root causes of the conflict, you chose to intentionally ignore the civilian loss of life in Gaza,” the letter continued. The Israeli military’s counter-attack into Gaza - one of the world’s most densely-populated places - has involved 2,000 air strikes, according to tracking by the Washington Post, with over 1,400 Palestinians killed thus far, according to Gaza’s health ministry.In an interview yesterday on KDKA’s morning show, Shapiro – who is Jewish – said he has a niece in Israel, describing the situation as “painful for so many to watch and experience.
“But there’s also no question that the entity that is in charge in Gaza at least is Hamas,” Shapiro continued, “and they are a terrorist organization, and they attacked - in an unprovoked manner - Israel.” Shortly after Hamas’ terror attacks, Israeli authorities cut off all food, water, fuel and electricity to Gaza, raising further concerns about the survival of the civilian population. Between 2008 and last month, 308 Israeli and 6,407 Palestinian civilians have been killed in connection with the conflict in the occupied territories of Gaza and the West Bank, according to UN data.
