THE SILENCE OF THE CHURCH IS DEAFENING
On Saturday, 7 October 2023, the Nation of Israel, while observing the Shabbat and celebrating the day of ‘Simchat Torah’, was treacherously attacked by Hamas from the Gaza Strip.
Up to now, more than 1,200 Jewish citizens, mostly civilians, have been brutally murdered, including women and children and 260 teenagers at a music festival.
Around 150 men, women, the elderly and children have been taken hostage and are somewhere in Gaza. Hamas has perpetrated rapes followed by torture and unspeakable murders. Children and babies have been decapitated.
Muslims worldwide are celebrating and demonstrating, not against the beastly atrocities committed by Hamas, but condemning Israel for being the instigators of this horrendous event.
Human rights organizations are painting Israel as inhumane as they defend themselves against the monsters known as Hamas.
My question is simply this: “Where is the voice of the Church?”
