The CLARITy Coalition unequivocally condemns the terrorist atrocities perpetrated by Hamas. Such inhumanity is repugnant, whatever one’s views are on the longstanding conflict in the region.

The indiscriminate attacks on innocent Israeli women, children, and the elderly have resulted in hundreds of deaths and thousands of injuries. Israel is left with no choice but to defend its people from Hamas terrorists. Unfortunately, this has meant the loss of lives in Gaza as well. Hamas has not only failed to protect the people of Gaza, they are the reason why Gazans will suffer.

 Our hearts go out to the innocent Israelis and Palestinians caught in this war.
