I stand with the people of Israel, and the state of Israel. On Oct. 7, 50 years after the start of the Yom Kippur War, Israel was again attacked by a terrorist organization whose goal is to wipe it from the face of the earth.
Like 50 years ago, Israel will prevail, but too many people on both sides will die. Hamas is a terrorist organization. Its surprise attack on Israel is brutal and inexcusable, and must be condemned by decent people everywhere.
They slaughtered 260 Israelis who were peacefully attending a music festival, this being only one of the atrocities they committed.
This attack on Israel by Hamas will undoubtedly end with the death and wounding of thousands of Palestinians. But they knew that and still went ahead.
