The significance of the mural

 Sacha Roytman Dratwa, CEO of the Combat Antisemitism Movement, said that “the past 75 days since October 7th have presented a clear choice to the international community -- stand with Israel in its mission to eradicate Hamas and safeguard modern democracy or align with Hamas and undermine the foundations of the free world.

"What happened on October 7th was the first phase in another attempted genocide of the Jewish people; we dare not let those behind it continue their plans. This mural stands as a powerful public rebuke to all who deny or distort the truth of the horrific crimes perpetrated that day, and it embodies our call on countries across the globe to exert maximum pressure on Hamas to bring the hostages home.”
