Our thoughts are with the Jewish community in Germany as well as the families of all victims, following the heinous attack in Halle, Germany. The attack was aimed at a Jewish community attending Synagogue on the holiest day of the Jewish year, Yom Kippur.
Attacks on religious communities during prayer is becoming an increasingly familiar tactic by cowardly terrorists who are consumed by hate for the so-called “other”. This global phenomenon of radicalism can and should be dealt with decisively, and we call on governments across the world to work together to combat this menace.
We send our condolences and support to the German Jewish Community and stand with them and the German Government in their fight against hate-crimes and extremism.
