Message from Moderator on the Anniversary of Israel Gaza Conflict

Dear All,

There are no words that can adequately sum up our feelings and emotions as we reflect on a year of conflict in Israel and Gaza. The massacre in Israel on 7 October 2023 and the war, with the widespread destruction within Gaza that followed, has brought suffering to hundreds of thousands and elevated tension between communities throughout the world. It is hard to imagine that we are still witnessing scenes of horror and devastation, and yet it is a reality. Innocents are still suffering; families are still mourning; what we see through media images are an everyday reality for so many. We are horrified by the extensive loss of life. While we cannot articulate words to describe what people are living through, we must use words to bring about a resolution to this dreadful situation….
