CLICK TO HEAR JACK HALL’S INTERVIEW WITH CONGRESSMAN BERGMAN (R-WATERSMEET)
Monday marked the one-year anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, when 1,200 people were killed and another 250 were taken hostage at a music concert. It was the deadliest day in the history of modern Israel, and since that time, the war that has waged between the Israelis and Palenstians has killed tens of thousands more.
In an interview with RRN News on Monday, Upper Peninsula Congressman Jack Bergman said the anniversary is a somber one, and the United States needs to do more to support Israel as it responds to those attacks.
“One year ago today, the world witnessed unthinkable horrors as innocent women and children were raped, entire families were slaughtered, and hostages, both American and Israelis, were viciously taken by Hamas,” Bergman (R-Watersmeet said. “We must not let 365 days become years. The repugnant evils of Hamas must be decimated and antisemitism uprooted everywhere it rears its ugly head.”
Michigan Senator Gary Peters (D-Detroit) also marked the anniversary.
“One year later, we are still working to secure the release of the 101 hostages who have yet to return home safely. The United States will always stand with Israel and support its right to defend itself against such heinous attacks,” Peters said. “This past year has been difficult for many Michiganders, who have been faced with rising antisemitic, anti-Muslim, and anti-Arab hate, ongoing fears about potential violence and their families’ safety at home and in the region, and who have seen little progress made towards ending the conflict sparked by Hamas’ actions.”
Bergman, however, says the Biden-Harris Administration has “shown weakness” in its response, and in its support of Israel.
