The fate of civilians and aid workers in Aleppo is a moral issue, regardless of which side you are on. And Israel – as a moral voice in the region – must take a stand on the matter. As a people who suffered the Holocaust, we should see it as our moral imperative to protect the lives of Syrian civilians, including the thousands of innocent children.
