Remarks by President Biden on the terrorist attacks in Israel:
“THE PRESIDENT: Good afternoon. You know, there are moments in this life—and I mean this literally—when the pure, unadulterated evil is unleashed on this world. The people of Israel lived through one such moment this weekend. The bloody hands of the terrorist organization Hamas—a group whose stated purpose for being is to kill Jews. This was an act of sheer evil.”
Read the White House’s full statement.
Our thoughts are with #Israel and the children and families experiencing terror, anguish, and loss of their loved ones at this time of conflict and instability. We echo @Pontifex’s call in praying for peace.

The scale and cruelty of attacks on Israeli civilians are hard to comprehend. We’ve seen atrocities that shock the soul. They are an affront to humanity itself.
I join people across Massachusetts, across America, and all over the world in condemning these indefensible attacks. pic.twitter.com/qUxNjc9JuG

The Hamas terrorist attacks against Israel were nothing short of an unprovoked attack on the Israeli people and Israeli sovereignty. Israel has a right to defend itself, and the US stands firmly with our ally. My condolences to the families grieving from this violence.

I stand firmly with Israel and unequivocally affirm its right to defend itself and its people.
I am confident @POTUS will act with purpose to assist the Israeli government, and I urge the Administration to move quickly.

I am praying for the innocent Israelis & Palestinians who have been caught in the crossfire. May peace prevail.— Rep. Jim McGovern (@RepMcGovern) October 7, 2023
I condemn this heinous attack on Israel, and am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of civilian life. We must do everything in our power to deescalate violence, engage diplomacy, and avert bloodshed. A war between Israel and Palestine would be catastrophic.
