GLEN EIRA: Jewish community thanks Trump, USA
Appreciation for action taken by the US Trump administration regarding the Middle Easrt conflict was shown by the Jewish community in south-eastern suburbs, Southern Metropolitan MLC Georgie Crozier (pictured) has told Parliament.
“Members of the Jewish community in Caulfield came together to offer their thanks and show their support for the
actions of the United States administration and President Trump,” Ms Crozier said.
“The strength of leadership, working with other Middle Eastern countries, which has led to the release and return of hostages and, sadly, some of the bodies that have not survived – following being kidnapped and taken hostage on that fateful day of October 7, two years ago – was deemed by some to be an impossible task.
“Whilst the world looked on in horror as actions of a terrorist organisation unfolded on October 7, like so many communities around the world, it was members of the Melbourne Jewish community who have shown determination and respect and have peacefully and continuously called to bring the hostages home now.
“My colleague David Southwick, who has worked tirelessly for his community during this period, spoke of the gratitude and called for an everlasting peace – something we all want.
“The overwhelming relief and emotion by those who attended was evident. I am confident that the broader Victorian community is also relieved with this development and, as a consequence, want all Victorians to live in peace and harmony.”
