Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pens a letter of thanks to Jewish communities around the world for their support since the kidnapping of the three Israeli teenagers on June 12.
He writes:
The Jewish people always comes together to face shared challenges. Today is no different. Over the past two months, beginning with the kidnapping and murder of our three teenagers, and continuing into Operation Protective Edge, the support of Jewish communities around the world has been a source of great strength for the people of Israel.
At the same time, we know that this has been a difficult period for Jews around the world, as many of you face increasingly virulent and sometimes violent manifestations of anti-Semitism.
On behalf of the people and State of Israel, I thank you for your defense of our just campaign to provide the sustained peace and security that all Israelis deserve. I ask that you continue to make your voices heard to counter the lies and libel directed against the Jewish state.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
