We cannot and will not forget October 7 and the 1,200 innocents slaughtered, the hundreds kidnapped – 48 of whom remain in captivity – and the thousands who were injured, traumatized, and displaced from their ravaged homes and communities on that day. We cannot and will not forget those in the region and throughout the world who celebrated those monstrous attacks, nor those who have used them as a pretext to launch a worldwide wave of Jew-hatred that has yet to abate. We cannot and will not forget the cynical manipulation of Hamas, burying their terror infrastructure under the homes, hospitals, and mosques of Gaza. We cannot and will not forget the tragic costs that this war has inflicted on all sides, and we will not stop praying for the day that Palestinians join Israelis in seeking peaceful coexistence.
