About 200 people turned out for a solidarity event in Anchorage.
Rabbi Yosef Greenberg listens to U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan speak through a video conference at the Dena’ina Center in Anchorage on Oct. 11, 2023. Sullivan condemned Hamas’ attack on Israel and pledged support for Israel.
Speakers at the Dena’ina Center event mourned the Israeli civilians killed and led prayers for hostages, the wounded and Israeli Defense Force soldiers. “We ask ourselves, where have we gone wrong? How did ‘never again’ became ‘ever again?’” he said, referencing the Holocaust. “There is no moral equivalence between a barbaric terrorist group committing these kinds of savage atrocities against innocents in a nation fighting to defend its very right to exist,” he said. “No moral equivalence. Period.”
Other speakers included Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom, Anchorage Mayor Dave Bronson and Christian faith leaders. They voiced support for Israel and condemned Israel’s attackers as monsters.
