Over the past two weeks, Hamas has launched over 4,000 rockets aimed at Israeli population centers, forcing millions of people into bomb shelters every night and causing unimaginable destruction, trauma and the deaths of innocent civilians. Israel, like all nations, has the right to protect itself from terrorism and defend her people. For Hamas, this is not about evictions, annexation, or statehood; nor is it about building a better future for Palestinians. Hamas’s victims include the Palestinian people who have suffered for years under the regime’s violence, corrupt leadership and disturbing human rights violations, including using children as human shields and launching rockets at civilian targets from schools and hospitals for their own political benefit. We will always stand with the right of the Jewish people to live and to thrive, especially in their ancestral homeland in Israel. We pray that the new ceasefire will hold and calm will soon be restored in the region.
