Additionally, Cuomo stressed that New York have “zero tolerance for discrimination.” He is doing everything in his power “to ensure that religious institutions are free from violence and intolerance.”
Furthermore, Cuomo said, “The disgusting rhetoric and heinous violence in this nation has reached a fever pitch and is ripping at the fabric of America, and it must stop.”
On Wednesday, an anti-Semitic vandalism also occurred at a synagogue in Irvine, California. The Irvine Police Department is investigating the incident to identify the suspect and bring him to justice. A surveillance-camera video showed that person who committed the vandalism was wearing a hoodie.
These anti-Semitic vandalisms in California and New York happened almost a week after the mass shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The gunman identified as Robert Bowers killed 11 people and injured six others including law enforcement officers. Prosecutors charged Bowers with 44 federal crimes, most are punishable by death.
