New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind (D-Brooklyn) flew to Israel on Wednesday to show support for the Jewish state against an ongoing wave of deadly Arab terror.
As part of the four-day solidarity mission, Hikind and a group of New Yorkers will tour Jerusalem, pay respects to families of terror victims and survivors of terror attacks, and visit thousands of New Yorkers studying abroad in Israel.
“I am horrified and sickened by the barbaric and vicious terrorist attacks in Israel over the past few weeks,” Hikind said before taking off.
“By being physically present and walking the streets of Jerusalem, my message is to give strength and support for fellow Jews and the people of Israel during this difficult time.
“There are currently thousands of Americans studying in schools all over Jerusalem and their parents are concerned,” Hikind continued.
“The people of Israel should know that the Jewish community, as well as the majority of the American public, stands in solidarity with them.”
“What is happening in Israel is intolerable and just pure evil,” the Assemblyman stressed.” Everyone deserves the right to live free from terrorism.”
“Prime Minister Netanyahu must do whatever is necessary to protect Israelis and put an end to these attacks.”
