There are no words to appropriately express shock and horror at the terrorist attacks carried out by Hamas on Israeli civilians – men, women and children – over the weekend. For those of us with family, friends, colleagues and acquaintances who are victimized by the attacks, this is deeply personal. And for the rest of us, Hamas’ indiscriminate slaughter of young adults enjoying a holiday music festival, and families enjoying the holiday in their homes, as well as the mass kidnapping of civilians – from toddlers to the very elderly and infirm – is an affront to any measure of basic human decency and civilized behavior. We all hope and pray for an enduring and lasting peace.
