This Hamas attack on Israel was a campaign of pure cruelty — not just hate, but pure cruelty — against the Jewish people. And I would argue it’s the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust — the deadliest day since the Holocaust, one of the worst chapters in human history, said US President Joe Biden on Wednesday. While addressing a round table of Jewish leaders in Washington, he said “Silence is complicity.”
He said it’s been hard to find that light during the darkness of these past few days, when terrorist groups like Hamas brought not only terror, but sheer evil — sheer evil to the world. Evil that echoes the worst and matches — in some cases, exceeds — the worst atrocities of ISIS. More than 1,000 civilians slaughtered in Israel.
“I’ve been speaking with a number of Israeli leaders, a number of leaders around the world, leaders in the region as well. And, you know, among those who have been victimized — this evil, who would — who have been killed are at least 22 American citizens” he added.
“ I spoke with Prime Minister Netanyahu for — I don’t know how many times this — but this — again this morning. And already we’re — we’re surging additional military assistance to the Israeli Defense Force, including ammunition interceptors to replenish the Iron Dome” Biden said.
Giving details, he said that we have moved a U.S. Carrier fleet to the Eastern Mediterranean, and we’re sending more fighter jets there into that region and made it clear — made it clear to the Iranians, “Be careful.”
