On Monday, Arkansas Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders ordered flags in Arkansas to half-staff from sunrise Oct. 10 to sunset on Oct. 13 to mourn the lives lost in Israel along with showing solidarity with the Israeli people.
On Saturday, October 7th, 2023, during the Jewish holy day of Simchat Torah, Hamas jihadist terrorists launched an unprovoked surprise attack against the people and nation of Israel.
In Sanders’ proclamation, she stated “These terrorists have killed hundreds of innocent Israelis and at least nine Americans and taken more captive, striking against civilians and attacking the elderly, children, and non-combatant women and men. Their stated goal is the destruction of the nation of Israel and genocide against the Jewish people. The terrorists are supported by adversaries of America and Israel, including the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hezbollah. They not only want to destroy Israel but are also the enemies of the United States and every other civilized nation on earth. Arkansans stand in support of our Israeli allies as they fight this war and chase the terrorists out of their country. There can be no compromise with, or equivocation about, evil of this kind. Arkansas supports Israel’s right to defend itself completely.”
