Netanyahu Offers Condolences: Brussels Part of ‘One Continuous Assault on All of Us’

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu offered his condolences to the people of Brussels in his Tuesday AIPAC speech, saying the deadly series of terrorist attacks was part of the same continuous terror threat his country faced.

“I want to send my condolences to the families of those murdered in today’s terrorist attacks in Brussels. The chain of attacks from Paris to San Bernardino to Istanbul to the Ivory Coast and now to Brussels, and the daily attacks in Israel — this is one continuous assault on all of us,” he said in a speech given via video feed.

“In all these cases, the terrorists have no resolvable grievances,” he continued. “It’s not as through we could offer them Brussels or Istanbul or California or even the West Bank. That won’t satisfy their grievances, because what they seek is our utter destruction and their total domination.”

“Their basic demand is that we should simply disappear. Well, my friends, that’s not going to happen,” Netanyahu continued to applause. “The only way to defeat these terrorists is to join together and fight them together. That’s how well defeat terrorism: with political unity and with moral clarity.”
