Israeli embassy statement regarding the synagogue attack
As supporters of Hamas, a terror organization, were spewing their antisemitic slogans on the streets of Berlin, a synagogue was attacked with Molotov cocktails. This incident comes only a few days after we witnessed Jewish homes marked with the Star of David.
We trust that the German law enforcement authorities will handle this case with unwavering severity.
This is a defining moment for any democracy: whether we stand with those who fight terror, radicalism, and barbaric entities or we remain silent, enabling the sheer evil perpetrated by terrorists and their supporters – be it in the Middle East or at the heart of Europe.
It is time for moral clarity.
