ICEEFT Statement on the Israel Gaza Crisis
ICEEFT is deeply distressed by the terrible events unfolding in Israel and Gaza, and emphatically condemns all forms of violence. As an organization founded to foster attachment, love, compassion, and strong human relational bonds, the brutal violence and trauma inflicted upon innocent civilians, particularly children, horrifies us.
ICEEFT is unequivocally opposed to all forms of hatred, racism, and discrimination. The current conflict highlights the critical nature of our mission – to bridge divides, heal emotional wounds, and contribute to a more compassionate, understanding, and peaceful world.
We can hardly imagine the fear, suffering and outrage of the Israeli and Palestinian victims. Our hearts go out to all those affected by these atrocities, both in the region and in the ripples of grief that reach so many around the world. We stand with you.
