In an interview with Channel 12’s Yuna Leibzon, Jeff Cohen, one of the hostages in Beth Israel synagogue in Texas said that the terrorist made antisemitic remarks saying Jews control the world and the media. He describes the terrifying moments of the hostage situation and how they eventually they escaped.
With tears, this is what Jeff said to me when I asked him what is his message to the Jewish community and people in Israel:
