Shalom: In my original message, I tried to focus on the recent terrorist attack in Tel Aviv. However, the attack in Orlando has forced me to reevaluate what I want to communicate to you, my Hadassah family. How lucky we US citizens have been until now. Historically, the USA has been relatively safe from the prejudicial violence that has erupted across the rest of the world. Ellen Hershkin, our National president, has put out a statement expressing the feelings and views of all of us regarding the horrible terrorist carnage in Orlando. You can read it on the web page. The recent worldwide wave of terrorist activity has left me filled with outrage, fear, and questions. How can this happen? Where is all this anger and hate coming from and why? I know these are not new questions and that there are no real good answers. My involvement in Hadassah has provided me with the opportunity to channel my concerns into positive action rather than sitting home and wringing my hands. No matter how small the job I feel I am doing something to help, and you can, too. Hadassah's humanitarian work strives for peace and goodwill, hence our hospitals and medical research projects, Youth Aliyah villages, colleges, and educational and advocacy projects are designed to be provided to all regardless of race, religion or nationality. Together we can change the world, actions speak louder than words, get involved.
B’Shalom,
Joanne

Statement by Benjamin Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel In Orlando, a terrorist walks into a nightclub and murders nearly 50 human beings. Sons and daughters, brothers and sisters cut down in cold blood. They did nothing wrong. They were dancing with friends, they were enjoying music with loved ones.
Why did the terrorist murder them? Because he was driven by a fanatical hatred. He targeted the LGBT community because he believed they were evil. Now, the murderer wasn’t alone. Regimes and terrorist organizations around the world ruthlessly persecute the LGBT community. In Syria, ISIS throws gays off rooftops. In Iran, the regime hangs gays from cranes. Too many people have remained silent in the face of this awful persecution. This week’s shooting wasn’t merely an attack on the LGBT community. It was an attack on all of us, on our common values of freedom and diversity and choice.
Radical Islamist terror makes no distinction between shades of infidel. This week it was gays in Orlando. A few days before that it was Jews in Tel Aviv. Before that it was music fans in Paris; Travelers in Brussels; Yazidis in Iraq; Community workers in San Bernardino; Christians and journalists in Syria. All of us are targets.
We believe that all people are created in the image of God. ISIS, by contrast, believes that all people who aren’t just like them deserve to die. We will not be terrified into submission. We will fight back. And we will triumph. Today I ask you to reach out to friends in the LGBT community. Comfort them. Tell them you stand together, we stand together as one. And that you will always remember the victims. Tell them they will never be alone, that we are all one family deserving of dignity, deserving of life. I have no doubt that those who seek to spread hate and fear will be defeated. Working together we will defeat them even faster. We need to stand united, resolute in the belief that all people regardless of their sexual orientation, regardless of their race, regardless of their ethnicity, all people deserve respect, deserve dignity.
