With Chanukah starting this evening and the news of the attack in Australia I feel the need to say now more than ever that antisemitism has no place in New Paltz. This includes demonstrating outside a synagogue or Jewish community center. Protesting against the Israeli government is fine but yelling at people on the way to worship is never OK. These places and people do not represent Israel and nobody should be accosted when going to practice their religion. We as a community must stand together against hate and treat each other with care and respect.
