(Washington, DC) -- Chief Deputy Majority Whip Eric Cantor (R-VA) released the following statement today to discuss the Capitol Hill screening and special showing of the documentary "Obsession: Radical Islam's War Against the West". Congressman Cantor's own cousin, Daniel Cantor Wultz, was an unfortunate victim to the scourge of terrorism. He passed away this year while visiting Tel Aviv as a result of a terrorist suicide bombing.
"It is of great significance that the Daniel Cantor Wultz Foundation is sponsoring the screening of 'Obsession' on Capitol Hill on the eve of what would have been Daniel's 17th birthday. Daniel was an American citizen living in Weston, Florida, who was killed this past spring by a suicide bomber while visiting his grandparents in Israel. We must continue to raise awareness of the threat of terrorism in America, and against Americans, through documentaries like 'Obsession.' We must use our democratic legislative process to continue to draft, support and pass legislation that stops terrorism, its sponsorship and funding sources," said Cantor.
The Wultz family are constituents of Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL). She made the following statement today in response to the screening:
"We must not let the terrorists continue to teach their children hate. And we must continue to teach our children to love life," concluded Wasserman Schultz.
