As the Israel-Hamas broke out, Rev. George Mason of Dallas, Texas, found shelter while on a trip to Israel with a church group. Mason spoke with Fox News Digital as he sought shelter.
A Dallas-based pastor who traveled to Israel just days before war broke out is now safe in Jordan, along with a group of people from churches around Texas, after they had to shelter in their Jerusalem hotel for two days. 'This is a terrible privilege to have been there in the midst of this,' Rev. George Mason, founder of Faith Commons, a nonprofit interfaith group, and retired pastor of Wilshire Baptist Church, told Fox News Digital in an interview.
When war broke out, all that Mason and the other conference-goers discussed became real. 'Many have lost their lives and are being wiped out in Gaza now because of the actions of Hamas.' 'I had just been with Palestinians and was still in contact with them, hearing from them what this meant to them,' Mason said. 'Ninety-nine percent of Palestinians would say that this is not what they want. What they have done cannot be justified.
The unjustified and inhumane murders, bombings and kidnapping of innocent Israelis by the terrorist group Hamas has left a deep wound in the hearts of those who mourn them and their families, as well as all of us who join them in their suffering and grief,' Mason said. 'I just believe we can be truthful about our love and sympathy for all who are dying and mourning.' The pastor also said he feels for the innocents on all sides of the conflict.
