JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Monday that the 11 Jewish victims of the Pittsburgh shooting attack were killed in a “synagogue,” taking a veiled swipe at the country’s ultra-Orthodox chief rabbi, who had refused to designate the Conservative Jewish congregation as such. The shooting has drawn fierce condemnations and calls for unity among Jews in Israel and around the world. “Jews were killed in a synagogue. They often question the faith and practices of the more liberal Reform and Conservative streams of Judaism, to which most American Jews belong. “The state of Israel bows its heads for their deaths, but this is not enough,” he said in parliament.
