CV NEWS FEED // The United States Catholic Conference of Bishops (USCCB) has released a statement regarding the rise of religious hatred in the U.S. since the start of the Israel-Hamas war in early October.
In the statement, USCCB Chairman of the Committee on Religious Liberty, Cardinal Timothy M. Dolan of New York, “issued a sharp rebuke”of the current political climate and called for an end to violence.
“In recent days here in America, where for hundreds of years many have sought refuge from religious persecution, we have seen outbreaks of religious hatred that shock the conscience,” the cardinal said.
Popular opinion in the U.S. has become increasingly polarized between supporters of Israel and Palestine as Americans disagree about who is at fault for the ongoing war between Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Hamas, an Iran-backed Islamic militant group that has been the de facto authority in Gaza since 2005. The group is widely considered to be a terrorist organization.
Pro-Palestine demonstrations have swept across the nation in light of the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza, as the IDF continues its blockade of the region and bombs heavily populated areas, where Hamas’ military operations are based.
