(Prime Minister's Office) "The Jewish people always unite when faced with great challenges, and the past year was no exception. Over the past few months, three of our teenagers were kidnapped and brutally murdered, thousands of rockets were fired at our country, and too many of our bravest young men and their families made the most painful of sacrifices in Operation Protective Edge. Throughout all that, we witnessed tremendous support for Israel from Jewish communities everywhere. And at the same time, we in Israel know that it has been a difficult period for many of your Jewish communities. You face increasingly virulent and even violent anti-Semitism." "So on behalf of the people of Israel, I thank you for supporting our just campaign to defend ourselves; to provide the sustained peace and security that all Israelis deserve. And I assure you that we in Israel will continue to stand by your side as you confront hatred and intolerance. Jews everywhere must be able to live proudly and without fear."
