Curious what American Christian denominations have said today about the brutal attack on Israel? I found a SBC leader quoted in a Baptist Press story.
Other than that, silence. Nothing from @USCCB, @ncccusa, @Presbyterian (others in summary)

@roberthilburn I would skip the Beatles and Stones; they are a class by themselves. Then I’d go with The Clash and The Kinks. Or maybe The Who.
