Chairman Avraham Neguise of the Knesset Committee for Immigration, Absorption and Diaspora Affairs and the Knesset Lobby for US-Israel relations, responded Tuesday morning to the desecration of graves in a Jewish cemetery in St. Louis and 11 threats against Jewish centers by saying, "The White House did well when it reacted quickly to the harsh anti-Semitic crimes to which we woke up this morning and I expect the US authorities to find the perpetrators and bring them to justice quickly.
The Likud lawmaker continued, "Anti-Semitism continues to rage unhindered around the world, and the Jewish people and the Jewish state must stand united and act in a coordinated and resolute way to combat this dangerous and violent phenomenon."
