The ongoing barbaric terror attacks in the streets of Israel is worrying New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio as he prepares to embark on a trip to the Holy Land this Thursday, October 15.
“I’m heartbroken by today’s attacks that took the lives of three innocent Israelis and left many others wounded,” he said in a statement to the media on Tuesday, declared by Palestinian groups as a “Day of Rage.”
Palestinian men armed with knives and a gun murdered at least 3 Jewish people and wounded more than 20 others in a string of attacks in Jerusalem and near Tel Aviv on Tuesday, police said.
“My thoughts and prayers are with all the victims and their families, and New York City joins Israel in mourning these innocent lives,” de Blasio said.
He added, “There is simply no place for violence – and we all must speak out against the loss of any innocent life. We continue to pray for the day in which the Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace and security.”
Mayor de Blasio will visit Israel to deliver a keynote at the Annual Conference of Mayors in Jerusalem which will bring together dozens of mayors from around the world to discuss the issues and challenges facing cities. The topic of his speech will be “Anti-Semitism in the West: How Cities Must Lead.”
He will be in the country on Friday, October 16 through Sunday, October 18. The Mayor’s and staffs’ travel and hotel expenses will be covered by a private gift to the City by Israeli-American entrepreneur, Baruch Eliezer Gross.

Kol hakavod! The Rebbe said not to give away any land. No-one listens. In order for HaShem to “Shomer Eretz Hakodesh” we have to shomer HaShem’s diary – the Chumash and all associated teachings…then HaShem will shomer Eretz Yisrael. Quoted from the teachings of The Rebbe.
that Mayor deBlasio watches the horrifying video of the Arab monster crashing into the bus stop & then jumping out and literally hacking the tzadik to death with his machete today.. It is one thing to be told by your secretary that there were murders in Jerusalem today but quite another to actually see the unthinkable. A picture is, nebach, worth a thousand words & Mr. deBasio should understand the true big picture before traveling to Israel !
WE WANT PEACE!
THEY WANT TO r”l WIPE US OFF THE MAP
Like our Rebbe said years ago, they are at the peace table with a sword in their hands underneath! Don’t be fooled!
SHALOM for the Jewish people and those of the Umos Haolam who upkeep the 7 Mitzvos Bnei Noach. As for the rest of them “gai in dred arein.” MOSHIACH is the only solution anyway!! At that time there will be true peace in the world and HASHEM and His chosen people Am Yisroel will be reunited once again! HASHEM SEND MOSHIACH NOOOOW!!
its no surprise but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t give recognition to our friends – since israel has so few these days
This is unexpected…?
We want Moshiach now
