More Jewish people were killed at once than any day since the Holocaust, and Hamas still holds Americans and scores of Israelis hostage. In the days after October 7th, tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli government’s bombardment of Gaza and operations in the West Bank. Over two thousand Lebanese people have been killed, and more than a million have been displaced. The region is on the brink of what could be an even more massive war. Hardly a soul is safer or more free. “We must change course toward peace. We must stop this cycle of violence by all parties before it consumes even more innocent families across the region and across the world. Israel should stop its bombing, Iran and Hezbollah should stop their bombing, Hamas should return the hostages, and the United States should be brokering peace, rather than further contributing to the devastation by shipping weapons. Let us honor the dead by protecting the living.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T21:57:20Z |
