Congresswoman Kathy Manning, representing North Carolina’s 6th district, marked the one-year anniversary of the October 7th attack by Hamas on Israel through a series of tweets. Manning, who has been serving in Congress since 2021 after replacing Mark Walker, used her platform to reflect on the tragic events and their ongoing impact.
On October 7, 2024, Manning recalled the attack, stating “One year ago, Hamas terrorists launched a brutal attack against our ally Israel, killing more Jews than on any single day since the Holocaust and taking hundreds hostage.” She shared a link to her full statement regarding this anniversary.
Later that day, she reiterated her sentiments in another tweet posted at 19:26 UTC. Manning noted “Today marks one year since Hamas’s brutal October 7th attack against Israel.” She emphasized her previous address to Congress where she remembered the victims and called for continued support for Israel’s security.
In a subsequent post at 20:23 UTC, Manning highlighted an alarming trend following the attacks. She stated “In the year following Hamas’s October 7th attack, antisemitic incidents have surged a staggering 200% in the U.S.” Manning announced her bipartisan initiative #CounteringAntisemitismAct aimed at addressing this rise and protecting Jewish communities.
