Amb. Akunis: “Rhetoric that legitimizes violence against Jews and Israelis sadly leads to terror attacks—like the one we saw last night in Washington.” Israel’s Consul General in New York responded to the brutal attack in Washington, saying: “This is a direct result of dangerous incitement and unprecedented riots led by terror-affiliated groups on U.S. campuses. Sadly, someone here listened to the chants of ‘Intifada, Intifada.’” Akunis added: “No terror group or lone attacker will stop us from representing the State of Israel—neither in the U.S. nor anywhere else in the world.”
