Jewish Federations React to Hamas' Psychological Warfare on Bibas Family

Jewish Federations are appalled, outraged and disgusted by Hamas’ cruel and deceitful psychological warfare against the Bibas family, the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Not only did these terrorists kidnap Kfir and Ariel Bibas, two young children — aged just nine months and four years — but forensic evidence shows that they brutally murdered them roughly a month into their captivity. Further, they lied about returning the body of their mother, Shiri, adding to the immense pain of the family. In case it was not yet clear to anyone, Hamas cannot be allowed to remain in power. Jewish Federations send our deepest condolences and love to the Bibas family and our brothers and sisters in Israel during this horrific period.
