FREMONT, CALIFORNIA: On Sunday afternoon, 15th October, a group of Hindu Americans gathered with Israeli and other Jewish Americans to express solidarity with them against the horrific attacks by Hamas last weekend.
Fremont Mayor Ms. Lily Mei, Dr. Romesh Japra – Americans4Hindus leader, founder of Festival of Globe (FOG) and India Post, Israeli Americans and other local Jewish people, and members of the Hindu and Indian communities, joined the peaceful demonstration which was held next to the Unity Sculpture in Fremont.
Sai Nagarajan said forcefully, “If you got a human heart, you got a soul, you will stand up today and say enough is enough!”
Dr. Romesh Japra addressed the gathering, “All the groups you mentioned earlier whether Hamas, Hezbollah, or ISIS, or Al Qaida, or Lashkar-e-Taiba, all these terrorist groups don’t belong on this earth. “We want to live peacefully. Everybody has to be happy, healthy, and celebrating. Life is all about celebration. But these terrorists come on the way. Like you said, in Mahabharata, Krishna said the same thing – they need to be eliminated, they need to be taken care of.”
He cautioned against giving in to the sympathy card for terrorists, “We are so happy the whole world is turned against them except a few countries, and we want to make sure that they continue doing that. Unfortunately, there is a lot of pressure for them to back off.”
