The terms of the press release are unanimous. The members of the CRCF (the conference of religious leaders in France) do not wish to comment on them, in order to avoid a grain of salt.
Jewish, Catholic, Protestant, Orthodox, Muslim and Buddhist leaders in France therefore testify in writing to their fear and sadness in the face of the deadly actions carried out by Hamas and the reactions they provoke in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
The press release adds that religious leaders condemn violence in all its forms, and particularly in its terrorist form. The number of civilian casualties is “ intolerable “. The CRCF calls for the release of civilian or military hostages, and condemns any speech calling for hatred and destruction.
The seven signatories call to pray for the Israeli people and the Palestinian people taken “ in a logic of war “. They also urge citizens to “ firmly reject all anti-Semitism, all racism, all contempt or speech of hatred and death » – and to tirelessly seek truth and justice with a view to peace.
