New York Governor Andrew Cuomo on Monday ordered state police to step up protection at Jewish sites across the state following a surge in antisemitic attacks in recent days.
“Hate has no place in our state,” Cuomo said, adding that he had directed New York State Police to increase patrols at synagogues, schools and other Jewish community facilities “following a spike of violent attacks.”
“Antisemitic violence and intimidation is antithetical to the promise and purpose of New York State, and we will not tolerate it in any form,” he said.
