The Gaza Conflict has been ongoing for three days with both sides having exchanged air strikes. The strikes by Israel intensified heavily yesterday as they targeted key terrorist locations in the Gaza Strip. Three causalities have been reported in Israel, while over 30 have been claimed dead in Gaza, including 6 children. Since the 141 mile area of the Gaza Strip is populated densely by 1.7 million, even the smallest of the targets can result in civilian casualties.
Although Sikhs are not directly affected by the Israel-Gaza conflict, it is the duty of all to stand for injustice and pray for world peace. In the month of November, Sikhs remember the courage of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji that resulted in freedom of 52 Hindu kings. Sikhs have always fought against injustices while praying for “Chardi Kala”, or high spirits, of all beings.
As Sikhs, we denounce any acts of violence by the Hamas, but also condemn air strikes by Israel that have caused civilian casualties.
We call upon all Sikhs to pray for World peace. Every individual should remember the sacrifices made by Sikh Gurus and Shaheeds. Please pray and seek peace for our entire humanity.
ਜਗਤੁ ਜਲੰਦਾ ਰਖਿ ਲੈ ਆਪਣੀ ਕਿਰਪਾ ਧਾਰਿ ॥ ਜਿਤੁ ਦੁਆਰੈ ਉਬਰੈ ਤਿਤੈ ਲੈਹੁ ਉਬਾਰਿ ॥
The world is going up in flames – shower it with Your Mercy, and save it. Save it, and deliver it, by whatever method it takes.

Israel-Hamas ‘Open War’: LIVE UPDATES
Dear Sikh Editors:
Your statement is not fair as blamed both Hamas and Israel: “As Sikhs, we denounce any acts of violence by the Hamas, but also condemn air strikes by Israel that have caused civilian casualties”.
Do you analyze what would have the condition of Israel population if the technology was not developed? Hamas are 100% wrong, criminals and initiated the fight. Israel has the right to protect and defend its own population which is under the threat 24 hours for ever. It is history record prove that Israel do not initiate fight but always HAMAS. It is not only in Gulf but Muslims are problem for the entire World.
From 1100 to 1800 century they cruelly killed millions innocent humans in south East Asia. We witness in 2001”911”, and again this year “911” in Libya. If Muslim feel that Israel is occupying their land then I challenge that Muslim have occupied South East Asia. Let Muslim get out of south East Asia and then open the dirty mouth against Israel.
If we’re honest Sikhs, then it must be honest, fair and true criticism and judgment. Iran is behind Hamas to start war to analyze Israel power and must be condemn strongly by the peace loving humans. Hamas should blame their own leaders not Israel; have no right to disturb their peace and productivity. Since 1947 Indian Government (Hindu and Muslim) has decided to destroy Sikhs under their power.
Hamas should Live and let others live peacefully; not destroy golden country. Muslim are worst human animals on the universe. I have studied with all the races, castes and colors.
Would you mind telling the names of these 52 kings, please?
Using the word terrorist lightly and not knowing who is!
one should not assume. We Sikhs are labelled the same way on many occasions in the worlds eyes..
Both sides are committing acts of inhumane terror.
