Dear CBS SUNDAY MORNING TEAM I am writing to express my concern about the report on the situation in Gaza that aired today on CBS Sunday Morning. While I appreciate the attention brought to the plight of children in Gaza, I felt that the report was one-sided and lacked crucial context. The report failed to mention that the current conflict began with Hamas' attacks on Israel, including the kidnapping and killing of Israeli citizens. This omission created a narrative that is incomplete and misleading. It is essential to acknowledge that Israel's response was aimed at stopping these attacks and protecting its citizens. Furthermore, in a war zone, it is a well-established principle that civilians, including children and women, should be evacuated to safe zones. The report did not explore this aspect of the conflict, which could have provided a more comprehensive understanding of the situation. I hope that in the future, CBS will strive to present more balanced and nuanced reporting, especially on complex and sensitive issues like this one. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
