Netanyahu: The pain is deep, but our roots here go just as deep

As three members of the Salomon family are buried in Modi’in, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says Israelis are stronger than the terrorism that killed them.

“We are in Jerusalem, but our hearts are with the Salomon family in Modi’in,” he says at a state memorial ceremony for Zionist thinker Ze’ev Jabotinsky at Jerusalem’s Mount Herzl.

The stabbing murders of Yosef, Elad and Chaya Salomon were “heartbreaking” and “cruel terrorism, the product of a vast, unchecked hatred toward Jews.”

He adds: “For a hundred years now, we’ve been dealing with this murderous terror — and overcoming it. The pain runs deep, but our roots in this land run just as deep. Terror will never defeat us. Terror will never triumph over us. We will continue to strengthen our country and build our land.”
