Antisemitism has spiked across college campuses. And this weekend in my home state of Vermont, three Palestinian-American students were senselessly shot by a stranger as they walked to a family gathering,\u201d his statement said. \u201cThis cycle of fear, intimidation, and violence must end.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Three Palestinian men were shot in Burlington, Vt., on Saturday night in an unprovoked attack, the city\u2019s mayor\u00a0Miro Weinberger\u00a0announced. The shooter pleaded not guilty to attempted murder. The students did not know the shooter, and the investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Welch previously warned that a ground invasion by Israeli forces into Gaza would be catastrophic for Palestinians in Gaza and would \u201cjeopardize urgent efforts to save hostages.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Israel and Hamas reached a temporary cease-fire to exchange hostages and prisoners that have been facilitated over the past several days. It is expected to continue until Thursday, but Welch argues it should be indefinite.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo far, the ceasefire has been largely successful. Thanks to the active engagement of Qatar and Egypt, and the personal involvement of President Biden and the Netanyahu government, hostages have been released and the killing has stopped,\u201d his statement said. \u201cBut the ceasefire is scheduled to expire this week. That would be a grave mistake.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Vermont senator said he supports Israel\u2019s right to defend itself against the Oct. 7 surprise attacks, but the country should \u201cnot do so in a way that leads to massive civilian casualties.\u201d The continued bombardment on Gaza would cause Israel and the United States to gain more enemies, he argued.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>The cease-fire must continue so more hostages are released, Welch said in his statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe ceasefire must be extended first and foremost to stop the bombing and prevent further loss of civilian life,\u201d Welch\u2019s statement said. \u201cThe United States cannot condone a resumption of the bombing when it causes death and injury to so many civilians.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
