NEW YORK STATE– New York Attorney General Letitia James recently issued a statement strongly condemning and warning against antisemitism and Islamophobia in New York in the wake of the terror attack in Israel and the war in Gaza. There have been recent reports of increased acts of hate and discrimination in New York.“Let me be clear: New York has zero tolerance for hate of any kind, not now and not ever. As we mourn the loss of innocent Israeli and Palestinian lives, there is no excuse or tolerance for antisemitism, Islamophobia or bigotry and discrimination of any kind. I encourage anyone who experiences a hate crime or bias incident to report it to my office.” James urged anyone who witnesses a hate crime or is a victim of a hate crime or bias incident to call 911 and report it to the Office of the Attorney General online at www.attorneygeneral.gov/protect-yourself/civil-rights/combatting-hate-crime/ or to call 800/771-7755.
