Netanyahu: Israel’s response to terror is to deepen our hold on our homeland

Speaking at a memorial service for victims of terror, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israel’s response to terror is to deepen our hold on the land.

“Since we first began our national revival in the Land of Israel 170 years ago, those who seek to destroy us have spared no means to try to uproot us from our homeland,” Says Netanyahu at the Mount Herzl cemetery.

Israel counts 4,255 victims of terror.

“Yesterday and today, on Memorial Day, in Jerusalem and in the Binyamin region, we received another example with two additional terror attacks,” he says. “Every generation in its turn must confront the poison of incitement, the fanaticism for destruction, and the lust for killing.”

“Every generation must stand fast against in the face of those who would oppress us and deepen our roots in our land.”

Netanyahu says Israel will respond to terror by continuing “to deepen our hold on our homeland, continue to build, continue to create, continue to plant and to add life.”
