On Thursday, two days after an airstrike and chemical attack on rebel-held Khan Sheikhoun by Syrian government forces, which left over 70 people dead and injured more than 500, Tel Aviv’s chief rabbi spoke up. Speaking to Army Radio, Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, the current chairman of Yad Vashem who is also the former Ashkenazi chief rabbi of Israel, said, “What is happening in Syria is [also] a holocaust. Not [just] from today, for six years a holocaust has fallen on them.” MORE
