Gov. J.B. Pritzker on Tuesday soundly rejected acts of terror as he prayed with members of a Jewish synagogue in north suburban Glencoe and vowed that the country — and Illinois — will stand with Israel in its battle against Hamas.
The Democratic governor, who is Jewish, acknowledged that there are “peace-loving Palestinians, and we must honor them,” but he called Hamas an “Iranian-backed army of murderers” at a Jewish United Fund solidarity event in the parking lot of the North Shore Congregation Israel.
