World Jewish Congress Condemns Terror Attack in Israel

 Reacting to the terrorist killing spree in Bnei Brak, Israel,
that left five Israelis dead, including an Israeli Arab police officer,
World Jewish Congress President Ronald S. Lauder said:

“The images and videos of the act of terror carried out by a gunman in Bnei
Brak this evening are absolutely horrifying. Fueled by hate, the
perpetrator methodically murdered five Israelis in cold blood.

“Once again, Israelis have been murdered by a Jihadist terrorist, with the
Bnei Brak slayings following on the heels of the killings of four Israelis
in Beersheba last week and of two border police officers in Hadera on
Sunday.

“This latest string of attacks, targeting civilians, is proof that we
cannot afford to drop our guard. No one should have to walk down the
street, ride their bike, or drive their car knowing that the next moment
might be their last.

“While Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has condemned these
latest acts of murder, Hamas has predictably praised them, demonstrating
once again that the ultimate goal of these Iran-backed extremists is the
destruction of Israel.

“I call on the international community, including those intent on attacking
Israel at every opportunity, to condemn these and all acts of violence
which underscore Israel’s need to protect and defend itself and its
citizens.”
