Deputy Knesset speaker joins rally at border to protest Syria violence

Deputy Knesset Speaker Hilik Bar of Labor attends a rally on the Syrian border calling for peace in the war-torn neighboring country and an end to attacks on the civilian population.

“Enough with the unbearable barbarism, enough with the world’s roaring silence toward the horror scenes that Syria provides on a daily basis,” Bar says.

“As an Israeli and a Jew, and mostly as the grandchild of a Holocaust survivor… I feel the obligation to shout out ‘Enough!’ The world has to take an immediate action to put an end to the cruel massacre happening as we speak in Syria,” he adds. “The world must wake up now!”
