Assemblyman Keith Brown (R,C-Northport) joined local and state elected leaders earlier this week to stand in solidarity in support of Israel. Brown applauds the efforts of the White House to publicly condemn the attacks and send a carrier group to the region as a show of force.

“These unprovoked attacks against the Israeli people are incredibly troubling,” said Brown. “My father bravely fought against fascism and the Nazi regime during World War II, and to see these anti-Semitic and senseless attacks carried out against innocent Israeli families and children is deeply disturbing. We must continue to fight against terrorism, especially when such gruesome attacks are being exacted upon the U.S.’s strongest democratic ally in the Middle East. My thoughts are with those impacted by these barbaric attacks—I stand with Israel.”
