Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee recently wrote a joint statement on Instagram, criticizing Hamas’ recent ‘surprise’ attack on Israel. Lifeson’s statement said:
“Geddy and I are sickened by news of the brutal atrocities and monstrous acts of cold-blooded murder committed by the terrorist group Hamas – an organization dedicated to the destruction of the Jewish state and the extermination of its people.”
The guitarist carried on, condemning the ‘dark acts of barbarism’ and offering sympathy to Jewish people:
“Our hearts break for the people of Israel and for Jews around the world, as they process these horrible events. These are dark acts of barbarism for which [there] can be no justification.”
He then added his sympathies for the ‘innocent souls’ in the Gaza Strip:
“Our hearts also go out to all innocent souls in Gaza that have lost their lives, been injured, or put in jeopardy as a result of the actions of this inhuman terrorist regime.”
