Jewish Agency chairman ‘horrified’ by deadly violence in Virginia

Jewish Agency chairman Natan Sharansky calls the death of a protester at the white supremacist rally in Virginia over the weekend “horrifying.”

“I am deeply concerned by the expressions of anti-Semitism and other forms of racism and hatred exhibited at the neo-Nazi rally this past weekend in Charlottesville,” he says in a statement. “I am horrified by the death of a protester at the hands of one of the marchers.”

“These is no place for such hate speech or violence in any democratic society, and I am confident that American authorities will do everything in their power to bring the perpetrators to justice,” Sharansky says.
