“At the start of my remarks, I would like to send condolences to the family
of Genadi Kaufman. Genadi was the gardener at the Tomb of the Patriarchs
[Machpelah Cave]. He as stabbed in a murderous assault several weeks ago. Sadly, he did
not recover. This morning as well, I say to all those who would uproot us from the Tomb
of the Patriarchs – Except for a few years in the previous century, we have been there
for almost 4,000 years, and we will stay there forever. You cannot
defeat us.”
