August 17, 2005 – New York – The American Jewish Committee strongly condemns the murder today of three Palestinians, and wounding of several others, by an Israeli in Shiloh.

"This wanton attack on innocent Palestinians must be condemned in the harshest language," said David A. Harris, executive director of the American Jewish Committee. "The murder of Palestinians who were employed in Shiloh is a blow to Jewish-Arab coexistence."

AJC is confident that the Israeli government and security services will continue to make every effort to prevent such attacks, and that the Israeli justice system will prosecute the alleged perpetrator to the fullest extent of the law.

"Our hearts go out to the families of the victims, and we hope and pray for the full recovery of those injured," Harris said. "We shall continue our efforts to help promote a climate of peace and mutual respect in the region for the sake of Israelis and Palestinians alike.
