January 7, 2021 (Washington, DC) — In response to the January 6, 2021 violent attack at the U.S. Capitol, Jeff Mendelsohn, Executive Director of Pro-Israel America issued the following statement:
“Pro-Israel America condemns yesterday’s attack at the Capitol, one of the most powerful symbols of our democracy and the seat of our Congress. It was a flagrant assault on our nation’s most sacred democratic processes and values. Inciting and participating in violence aimed at undermining our democracy is a reprehensible assault on our Constitution. We commend Congress for the strength it projected last night as it continued its work to uphold the Constitution and affirm the electoral victory of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris as the next president and vice-president of the United States. We must continue to stand together to condemn radical violence and threats of any and all forms in this country and around the world.”
