Arutz-7\'s Kobi Sela visited the convention hall of the 34th World Zionist Congress this morning, and found that most of the delegates\' time was spent speaking on their cellular phones and reassuring their parents, children, and friends that they were OK and unhurt after the Gilo bus slaughter. Some of the Zionist delegates from abroad will participate in the funerals tonight, and others will donate blood. Sela heard the following comments from some of the delegates:
\"Whenever you [in Israel] talk about terrorist attacks in Israel, you must make it clear that Jews were targeted, as opposed to just mentioning Israelis, because we are all Jews...\" - Patrick Goldman, Chairman of the Jewish Students Union in France.
\"I feel that to be here in Israel is the safest place in the world - even after I heard of this morning\'s attack. During the Gulf War, my brother wanted to come to Israel, but my mother was unsure. So she asked the Lubavitcher Rebbe, and he faxed us that the Land of Israel is the safest place in the world for a Jew... I will tell all my friends that I feel safer here than anywhere else... My mother told me this morning that she is happy I\'m here...\" -- Saul, from South Africa
\"I can\'t say it\'s not scary, but on the other hand, this is Israel, this is Jerusalem... I\'m staying.\" -- Gershon from Kharkov, Ukraine.
\"This Land is ours; we\'re afraid [of terrorism] in the U.S., so we might as well come here...\" --Tamar Munger, of Bnei Akiva, from Philadelphia
\"I think that Ariel Sharon is to blame for everything. We must say No to a Palestinian state, and we must take the offensive, not be on the defensive. We are always afraid of what the world will say. The Lubavitcher Rebbe told Sharon straight out not to be afraid of what the world will say, but to do what is good for the Jews...\" -- Ami Pikovsky of the United States
