7th NOVEMBER 2023, we marked 30 days since the horrific crimes committed by Hamas. As we held the posters of the kidnapped victims, we were reminded that history is cruelly repeating itself. Families torn apart, lives shattered, and innocent souls held hostage. It is a heart-breaking reality that we, as a global community, cannot ignore.
Among us were Holocaust survivors, their stories etched on their skin. Among us were children, grandchildren and family members who grew up hearing the painful echoes of the past. We were united by a shared history, a history we refuse to see repeat itself. We cannot allow these heinous acts to go unanswered. We refuse to stand by while innocent lives are destroyed. We demand justice, humanity, and compassion.
Let our collective voice echo far and wide: #BRINGTHEMHOMENOW! These souls were kidnapped from Israel, but they are a part of all of us. We will not rest until they are safely reunited with their families.
History cannot repeat itself. Not on our watch.
BringThemHomeNow Campaign – Keeping the awareness, keeping the hope, light & prayer for all the hostages to be released.
