The carnage committed by the Palestinian terrorists of Hamas against Israeli citizens, mostly civilians, including women and children, cannot be repeated. Every country, every people that is attacked, among which Israel and Jews alike have the right to defend themselves. The consequences of the most tragic act of extermination perpetrated against Jews since the Shoah must include measures that prevent further atrocities by Hamas or by other terrorist organisations.

On Saturday morningIsrael was brutally attacked by the terrorist organisation Hamas. Once more Jewish blood has been spilled. We are deeply struck by this situation, even more as many of our closest live in Israel and serve in the armed forces. We thank everyone for the incoming expressions of solidarity. We see them as a sign of brotherly support for Israel in this hour of need. We offer our deepest condolences to the families of those who were murdered. We wait for the release of women, children and the elderly from the imprisonment by Hamas. We also firmly condemn the terrorist act that took place in the State of Israel.
