U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton said he is troubled by what he calls the Israeli government's "problematic" treatment of civilians in Gaza, namely the killing of civilians and the restriction of food, water and fuel. "Everyone is concerned about the fate of innocent Palestinian civilians in Gaza," he said on WBUR's Radio Boston Thursday. Moulton, a Democrat and Marine veteran, wrote an opinion piece for CNN this week warning against a "forever war" in Gaza. He questioned if Israeli airstrikes on Gaza would ultimately hurt Israel in the conflict. Moulton suggested Rep. Brad Wenstrup of Ohio as a Republican he might be able to work with if elected speaker.
