Rob Jetten wrote that it was three years ago that according to him nearly 1200 innocent people were killed in a terrorist attack by Hamas and more than 250 others were taken hostage. He stated that the victims were Israelis who were ambushed by violence at a festival, at home, or on the street. According to Jetten, the attack led to a spiral of conflict and suffering in the region. He wrote that the Israeli army had since killed tens of thousands of innocent Palestinians and that the consequences of the violence were still felt. Jetten said that no objective justified the violence or alleviated the suffering and wished peace to grieving Israeli and Palestinian families. #Vrede #OnschuldigeSlachtoffers #Conflicten (translated)
