Hastings Condemns Violent Anti-Semitic Attack on Jewish Community in New York
Fort Lauderdale, FL,
December 30, 2019
Congressman Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL) issued the following statement on the attack in Rabbi Chaim Rottenberg’s home in Monsey, New York: “I was heartbroken to learn of the heinous anti-Semitic attack during a Hanukkah celebration in Rabbi Rottenberg’s home. I condemn in the strongest possible terms this horrific act of violence and the many recent anti-Semitic attacks in the New York metro area, during this holiday season. “There is no doubt that the forces of anti-Semitism are not only affecting our nation, but also are on the rise across the globe, and must be unequivocally denounced. People of all faiths deserve to feel safe in their place of worship. We must condemn all forms of hatred and strengthen our resolve to make it clear that bigotry and hate have no place in our society.” ### |
