The chain of attacks from Paris to San Bernardino to Istanbul to the Ivory Coast and now to Brussels




I want to first send my condolences to the families of those murdered in today's terrorist attack in Brussels

The chain of attacks from Paris to San Bernardino to Istanbul to the Ivory Coast and now to Brussels, and the daily attacks in Israel – this is one continuous assault on all of us. In all these cases the terrorists have no resolvable grievances. It’s not as if we could offer them Brussels, or Istanbul, or California, or even the West Bank. That won't satisfy their grievances. Because what they seek is our utter destruction and their total domination. Their basic demand is that we should simply disappear. Well, my friends, that's not going to happen. The only way to defeat these terrorists is to join together and fight them together. That's how we'll defeat terrorism with political unity and with moral clarity. I think we have that in abundance.
