Deborah Matias and her husband Shlomi died shielding their 16-year-old son Rotem, who survived after Hamas fighters stormed their apartment.

“There is not a single Israeli who doesn't know somebody personally who has been killed,” Israeli-born Rosenberg told reporter Leigh Searcy. “Imagine if every single American knew somebody killed in a terrorist attack–imagine what that would feel like.”

Rosenberg told WLEX that his niece and her husband were musicians.

“My niece and her family lived in a peaceful, peace-loving [kibbutz], working for peace…looking to work with Palestinians and help solve this problem,” Rosenberg said. “I understand the Palestinians' grievances and I do not fully support some of Israel's policies, but nothing, nothing justifies this kind of behavior,” Rosenberg said.

Rosenberg came to Three Chimneys as its general manager in 1978 and was named the farm's president and chief operating officer in 2001. He left Three Chimneys in an official capacity at the end of 2007 to launch a Thoroughbred management consulting service.

According to the most recent reporting, an estimated 2,200 people have lost their lives in the conflict, including 22 Americans.
