Acknowledging Israel’s right to defend itself, Rabbi Shmuley emphasized the complexity of the conflict, noting that Israel’s military response, while heavy-handed, is far from comparable to historic wartime bombings by Allied forces in World War II which caused millions of civilian deaths. He highlighted that Israel’s advanced military capabilities could have inflicted far greater destruction but chose restraint, often risking Israeli soldiers' lives to minimize civilian casualties—even as Hamas allegedly uses civilians as human shields by placing military assets within residential areas. Rabbi Shmuley also argued that the term “Zionist” has been weaponized globally to unfairly stigmatize Jews. Drawing from his new book coauthored with his son, an IDF combat soldier, Rabbi Shmuley described the Israeli Defense Forces as among the most moral armies in modern warfare, striving to protect innocent lives amidst a brutal conflict.
