“I cannot condemn strongly enough this horrific act in which four worshipers were taken from their families by terrorists. My thoughts are with their families and the communities in which they lived.
Sherman Oaks – Congressman Brad Sherman (D- Sherman Oaks) released the following statement in reaction to an article published by Jeffrey Goldberg in The Atlantic titled, “The Crisis in U.S.-Israel Relations Is Officially Here.” Goldberg’s article included reports of pejorative terms used by Administration officials to describe Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu.
I am outraged by the attack that occurred in Jerusalem on Wednesday and deeply saddened by the death of an infant girl, Chaya Zissel Braun. There is an added measure of sadness to this tragedy for us in Los Angeles because the girl’s family is from LA. Our thoughts and prayers are with them. I also hope for a quick recovery for those hurt in this terrorist attack, including Shmueli Braun, the girl’s father.
