As we approach the solemn six month mark since the October 7 Hamas massacres in Israel, we pause to honour the memory of the lives tragically lost by these senseless acts of terrorism. Six months have passed since the largest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust, yet the pain and anguish linger in our hearts, as we fight for the hostages still being held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza.
Today and every day, we stand united in remembrance and solidarity with the people of Israel, reaffirming our unwavering commitment to peace, justice, and Jewish strength in the face of antisemitism. We condemn terrorism in all its forms and vow to never forget the innocent victims of these horrific attacks.
As we reflect on this somber weekend, our thoughts turn to the 134 hostages still held captive in Gaza, enduring unimaginable hardships every day. We pledge to continue our unwavering hope for their safe return, advocating for their release until every hostage is safely reunited with their loved ones. During these dark days, we draw strength from the resilience of Jewish people throughout history, and we affirm that no act of terror will ever extinguish our light of hope and Jewish pride. May the memories of those murdered be a blessing, may those who are injured recover fully and swiftly, and may all of our hostages be safe and free. Am Israel Chai.
