Conference of Presidents Condemns Terror Attacks in Israel
(Conference of Presidents) Richard Stone and Malcolm Hoenlein, Chairman and Executive Vice Chairman of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, conveyed their condolences to the families of those who were killed as well as prayers to those who were injured in the brutal Palestinian terror attacks in southern Israel. "This devastating incident underscores the need for Israel to take whatever measures possible, including strengthening the defensive blockade of Gaza, to ensure that everything is done to prevent a reoccurrence of such terrorism in the future." "The international community, rather than engaging in the folly of the Palestinian unilateral declarations at the UN, should be pressing for an end to Palestinian terrorism and incitement to terror. Providing monthly stipends to Palestinians sitting in jail for terrorism and declaring tributes to those who carry out terror attacks are perfect examples of incitement and reward for terror, and today we saw the results." "Let all those who so readily and vigorously condemn Israel on any occasion now speak out as forcefully against terror and murder."
