Gen. Eric Smith and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin recently underwent medical procedures, with Smith having open-heart surgery to repair a valve.

This deviation from the established norms of support exposes a fracture within the Jewish consensus, as Palestinian casualties continue to mount in the wake of Hamas's attacks. The situation demands attention and a reevaluation of prevailing perspectives in order to ensure a just resolution.
