Today, Dr. Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the B’nai B’rith Anti-Defamation Commission, issued the following statement in response to the deadly terrorist attacks in Brussels that have claimed the lives of 30 people and injured hundreds.
“We are outraged and horrified by these despicable and barbaric attacks in Brussels. Our heartfelt thoughts, sympathies and prayers are with the families and loved ones of the victims, and we and wish the wounded a full and speedy recovery. During this heartbreaking period of grief and mourning, we stand firmly with the Belgian people and government as they come to grips with this shattering and traumatic event and seek to bring those who carried out these senseless massacres to justice. Once again, we are reminded that no one is safe until the evil of radical Islamist terrorism that knows no bounds or borders, is destroyed. It is the responsibility of the international community to unite in the battle against Jihadist global terrorism. We must prevail in this struggle against violent extremism so as to ensure that the lives of all citizens are protected, and that the shared values of democracy and freedom are secure.”
The Anti-Defamation Commission, founded in 1979, is Australia’s leading organization fighting anti-Semitism through educational programs that combat bigotry, prejudice and all forms of hatred.
