“Let’s not mince words: Israel and her people are under siege from an army of terrorists that are hellbent on removing Jewish people from the face of the earth. It is the responsibility of every person to stand in solidarity with the people of Israel and denounce Hamas’ acts of terror. Peace in the region cannot be reached while Israel’s very existence is under threat. I stand with the people of Israel and the Jewish community in Rockland and Orange counties - and worldwide - as we pray for an end to the violence engulfing the region.”
