Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Wesley Hunt strongly condemned the terrorist attack on a synagogue in Jerusalem.  

“On Holocaust Remembrance Day, a synagogue in Jerusalem was attacked by a Palestinian terrorist. Worshippers celebrating the Jewish Sabbath were butchered. Why?  Because they were Jewish.  All leaders must, in the strongest terms, condemn attacks against Israel and the Jewish people.  Emily and I are praying for the victims, their families, and for the people of Israel.

"Today, we should be honoring the sacred memory of those who perished at the hands of the Nazis.  Instead, we are mourning the dead of another act of terrorism motivated by more hate and antisemitism.  Enough is enough.  America stands with Israel," said Hunt.
