Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu wrote on Twitter, Monday afternoon, "Jews were killed in a synagogue. They were killed because they are Jews. The location was chosen because it is a synagogue. We must never forget that. We are one. The Hebrew version adds the word "people" at the end.
This is an implicit response to the fact that in the statements published by the two chief rabbis following Saturday's massacre at the Tree of Life synagogue in Pittsburgh, Chief Rabbis David Lau and Yitzhak Yosef refrained from mentioning that this was a synagogue, apparently because it was a Conservative prayer house. The omission created a media storm.
