Senior PLO official condemns ‘evil anti-Semitism’ after California synagogue attack

Senior Palestine Liberation Organization official Saeb Erekat condemns yesterday’s deadly shooting at a Chabad synagogue in California, calling it “a hate crime.”

“Dr. Saeb Erakat…condemns with the strongest possible terms the cowardly hate crime committed against Jewish worshippers while praying in a San Diego synagogue,” Erekat, the secretary-general of the PLO Executive Committee, wrote on Twitter on Sunday. “Anti Semitism is evil.”

A teenage gunman who wrote a hate-filled manifesto opened fire at a synagogue in California yesterday, killing one person and injuring three others including the rabbi as worshippers marked the final day of Passover.
