Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu condemned the shooting and killing of four people at the Jewish Museum in Brussels on Saturday.Sadly, the predictable result of the global left's campaign on anti-Semitic, anti-Israel annihilationism.
He said he shares in the grief of the families of the victims. "This act of murder is the result of constant incitement against Jews and their state. Slander and lies against the State of Israel continue to be heard on European soil even as the crimes against humanity and acts of murder being perpetrated in our region are systematically ignored. Our response to this hypocrisy is to constantly state the truth, continue a relentless fight against terrorism and build up our strength," the Prime Minister said.
Foreign Minister Avigdor Liberman blamed anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli incitement for inspiring the attack. Those who call for a boycott against Israel and those who act against Israel in international forums have contributed to this incitement, Liberman said.
“Recent anti-Semitic incidents in Kansas, Toulouse, and this evening in Brussels, should be a flashing warning signal to all those who cooperate with such incitement by rushing to condemn Israel and by comparing building a home for a Jewish family in the land of Israel with the cruel and murderous terrorist activity of anti-Semites,” Liberman said.
Justice Minister Tzipi Livni said Sunday that "every event against Jews in the world, such as the terror attack in Brussels, shocks us as Israelis - as it should."
Writing on her Facebook page, Livni said, "The essence of Israel's existence is to be a Jewish state in every sense of the word. But Israel is not just a safe place of refuge, we must also, in our values, represent the whole Jewish world."
