Recently a lone gunman entered the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle and began shooting. He killed one woman and injured several others. He reportedly identified himself as an American Muslim and told a witness he was upset by 'what was going on in Israel.' In Detroit, a pro-Israeli driver tried to run over an Arab demonstrator at a rally. And the Jewish community in South Florida suffered four acts of vandalism -- two against synagogues and two against businesses.
As a person of conscience, I denounce the senseless attack in Seattle and offer my sincere condolences to the family and friends of those killed and injured. I also express my sympathies to the Jewish community in South Florida who suffered from the recent vandalisms.
