Human rights advocate Kenneth Roth condemns Israel's military actions in Gaza as potential war crimes—even genocide—but stresses that criticism should target the government, not Israeli civilians. He points to the recent killing of two embassy workers as unjustifiable, arguing that civilian lives must be protected on both sides.

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just another headline about the Middle East—it’s a sharp reminder that outrage over civilian casualties can’t be selective. Roth’s stance challenges readers to separate government actions from innocent lives, a nuance often lost in polarizing debates. It matters because how we frame accountability shapes whether solutions emerge from blame or shared humanity.
