B’nai B’rith International condemns the burning and vandalism of a mosque in the village of Kfar Beit Fajar in Hebron in the West Bank. B’nai B’rith views violent and destructive action of any religious institution or place of worship as utterly unacceptable.

There is no excuse and there can never be a pretext for violent action by any party against religious institutions. B’nai B’rith supports the actions of the Israeli Civil Administration and Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in aggressively investigating this despicable act.
