"US Candidates and Communities Grapple with Devastating Impact of Israel-Hamas Conflict"

Daniel Norber, a New York congressional candidate running against Rep. George Santos, is in Israel with his family and describes the current situation as unsafe, with Hamas terrorists breaking into people's homes. Norber, a former member of the Israeli Defense Forces, compares the attacks to Israel's 9/11 and emphasizes the need for the US to stand by its ally. He believes that Israel is the protector of American values and democracy in the Middle East. Norber's opponent, Rep. Santos, expressed solidarity with Israel and endorsed their right to self-defense against Hamas.
