Catholics for Catholics strongly condemns “Blitzkrieg” style Execution of Innocent Israelis
“A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation and bitter weeping; Rachel, weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were no more.” Jeremiah 31
The people of Israel were brutally attacked by Hamas in the early morning hours of 7th of October on the Jewish Holiday of Simchat Torah. This “blitzkrieg” style invasion, reminiscent of the Nazi invasions of the last century, has left us in a state of shock and horror. The latest death counts of innocent Israeli lives butchered by rocket strikes, mortars, machine guns has surpassed 900 making this the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust.
Catholics for Catholics agrees whole heartedly with the Bishop of Jerusalem who lamented, “The too many casualties and tragedies, which both Palestinians and Israeli families have to deal with, will create more hatred and division, and will destroy more and more any perspective of stability.”
We implore the Holy Father to make every effort in helping to de-escalate the situation and guarantee the fundamental rights of people in the region. Furthermore, we ask our politicians to look into immediately the funds used to create this war by investigating the role of the Iranian Government in all of this.
Catholics for Catholics strongly condemns this unjust breach of sovereign territory and destruction of innocent human lives and we pray for an immediate end to hostilities and that the virtue of justice guide the response.
