“On the third anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attacks, we stand steadfast and united in solemn memory of the innocent lives stolen by pure evil and the families left forever broken,” said Chairman Crawford. “In just three years, it often seems like we have forgotten the vile attack, specifically the violent rape, murder, and slaughter of innocent civilians. May we never lose track of who did this – HAMAS. Twenty-five years ago, another offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood, al-Qaeda, attacked us in New York, Virginia, and in the skies above Pennsylvania. I applaud the Trump Administration’s decisive commitment to standing shoulder-to-shoulder with Israel against these groups, and in combating antisemitism with unwavering resolve to confront terrorism wherever it takes root. We must never falter in this fight we are in together. On this day, our prayers are with all the survivors, and the families of those lost on October 7, 2023.”
