By Mitch DanzigTimes of San DiegoSAN DIEGO — Recently, the Times of San Diego published an opinion piece, (which was republished by San Diego Jewish World) titled “As a Father, Jew and Councilmember, I’m Appalled by Brutality in Gaza” by Sean Elo-Rivera. All wars, even the most “just” wars, from the American Civil War to World War II, are brutal and involve atrocities meeting other atrocities. It is the very thing Jewish values demand. *Mitch Danzig is a San Diego attorney and past president of Stand With Us in San Diego.
