The International Council of Jewish Women (ICJW) adds its voice and words of support to the people of Israel and to Israel's inviolate right to self-defense. The thousands of rockets launched from Gaza by the terrorist group Hamas are threatening Israel's territory and citizens, reaching far into the country. Israel's obligation to defend herself and her people has led to a military buildup and a conflict in response to these attacks. Air strikes are causing loss of life on both sides. As the threat of a ground war looms, the women of ICJW join all who hope and pray that efforts will continue towards peace and not war.

slobodni prijevod:

International Council of Jewish Women ( ICJW) dodaje  svoj glas i  riječi potpore narodu Izraela da ima neotuđivo  pravo na svoju odbranu. Tisuće raketa  su poslane iz Gaze,  od  strane terorističke grupe oko Hamasa i ugrožavaju Izraelski teritorij  i građane, dosežuči daleko u unutrašnjost zemlje .

Obaveza Izraela da brani sebe i svoj narod dovela je do vojne akcije i konflikta kao odgovor na te napade. Zračni napadi su izazvali gubitke na obje strane. Zbog opasnosti od  daljnih ratnih zbivanja  na terenu, žene u ICJW se pridružuju svima koji mole da se nastave napori za mir,  a ne za rat.
