[Warren, 10-17-2023] — The Islamic Organization of North America (IONA) strongly condemns and is deeply saddened and outraged by the horrific massacre perpetrated by the Israeli government as it launched a devastating bombing campaign on the Al-Ahli Baptist Hospital in Gaza. This abhorrent act has resulted in the tragic loss of over 500 innocent lives, among them children, women, doctors, and nurses. The hospital, once a place of healing, has been transformed into a heartbreaking graveyard.
This barbaric and heinous attack on civilians in Gaza is an affront to the principles of humanity and must be condemned by all people of conscience. We call on individuals, institutions, and governments across the world to unite in strong condemnation of this act of violence.
We urge the Biden administration to exercise its influence and employ diplomatic means to pressure the Israeli government to halt the ongoing violence, thereby bringing an end to the conflict that has caused immense suffering.
Our heartfelt condolences and prayers go out to the families of the victims, who are enduring unimaginable pain and loss. In these trying times, we fervently pray for an end to the ongoing carnage and for the establishment of lasting peace in the region.
IONA remains committed to advocating for justice, peace, and the well-being of all individuals. We stand in solidarity with the innocent victims and their families, and we will continue our efforts to promote a world where such senseless violence has no place.
