The Temple Beth Israel Preservation Society condemns the evil, horrific, and brutal attacks by Hamas that have left hundreds dead and thousands injured in Israel. We condemn the kidnapping of civilians. We urge the immediate and safe release of the more than 240 hostages; families, elderly, and children who have been taken to Gaza.
Our hearts break for all those who have lost loved ones and remain in terror and for the innocent civilians in Israel and in Gaza who will be injured or die in the coming days. Hamas has done nothing to advance the interests of the Palestinian people. This deplorable attack undermines efforts for a peaceful solution to this long-standing conflict. We urge all parties to uphold international law and work together to create a pathway forward for peace and human rights for all who live in the region. |
