University of Florida President Ben Sasse released a statement in support of Israel and condemned the Hamas terrorists, saying that 'there is not defense for terrorism.'
The University of Florida president issued a strong statement of support for Israel, saying that there is 'no defense for terrorism,' and blasting 'elite academia' for issuing anti-Israel statements. 'I will not tiptoe around this simple fact: What Hamas did is evil and there is no defense for terrorism. This shouldn’t be hard,' UF President Ben Sasse wrote in a statement.
The former Nebraska U.S. senator did not mince words, blasting Hamas for their terrorist attacks on Israelis, which killed over 1,000, including children, and wounded over 2,000. 'Our educational mission here begins with the recognition and explicit acknowledgment of human dignity – the same human dignity that Hamas’ terrorists openly scorn,' Sasse said. 'Every single human life matters.
The chaos at the event was an unfortunate end to a beautiful gathering, but I wanted to let you know that there was no attack on campus and the injuries that have been reported seem to be relatively minor,' Sasse wrote.
