LEADER JEFFRIES STATEMENT ON TERRORIST ATTACK AT MANCHESTER SYNAGOGUE

Today, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries issued the following statement: 

I am appalled by the terrorist attack at a synagogue in the United Kingdom that claimed several deaths on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar. Over the last several years, the alarming rise of violent antisemitism has made our Jewish brothers and sisters across the world fear for their safety in synagogues, schools and neighborhoods. Antisemitism has no place in a civilized society, and it must be urgently crushed by all leaders of goodwill. I pray for the families of the victims and all those impacted by this terrible tragedy in Manchester and beyond.
