Among the people with whom there is no contact after the Hamas attack is Alex Dancyg. He has likely been abducted, and we hope that he is still alive.
We know him well. He is an upright man, a man of truth and great goodness. A man of justice, grace and generosity (Quran 16:90). He devoted himself to teaching how the evil, perverse, and godless system of Nazi Germany could destroy good, peaceful, and innocent people. He is close to our hearts.
We appeal for his release (3:133-134) to anyone who can influence it (59:9). Fighting against what is perceived as evil cannot lead to even greater evil. The innocent and righteous have the right to live in harmony and peace. This principle applies to everyone (41:43), including Alex Dancyg, who, through his teachings, bears witness to the innocence and righteousness of unfairly treated victims.
We all must seek peaceful solutions, particularly in a land that has witnessed great things and deeply unworthy things. We cannot become the source of ever greater evil.
