The following report is by NY Daily News:
Gov. Hochul declared in a rare address on Tuesday, [October 31st], that New York State has “zero tolerance” for hate, outlining new anti-hate police investments, appealing to New Yorkers’ sense of shared community and seeking to soothe Jewish and Muslim New Yorkers who have been rattled by threats as a bloody war rages in Israel and Gaza.
We cannot let the fervor and passion of our beliefs devolve into a blind righteousness that cannot see different viewpoints. And the safety and security of New Yorkers cannot — and will not — be threatened without consequences.
Hochul said.
In remarks from Manhattan, Hochul laid out a series of steps she said the state would take to root out hate — directing $75 million toward the prevention of hate crimes, expanding the state police unit that monitors threats on social media, and ordering a comprehensive review of anti-discrimination policies at the City University of New York.
Jonathan Lippman, the state’s former chief judge, will lead the review, which will serve as a roadmap for the state university system, Hochul said.
Describing New York as a guiding light that has moved the nation forward on issues of equality for decades, Hochul urged New Yorkers not to backslide, and not to allow geopolitical passions to push them into hatred.
We cannot allow hate and intimidation to become normalized. We cannot risk losing our identity.
Said Hochul, a Buffalo Democrat who has long made fighting discrimination a central focus of her administration.
The governor said New Yorkers had stood up for Muslims after 9/11, for Asian Americans during the COVID years and for African Americans after the killing of George Floyd. And she said New Yorkers — including those who oppose Israel’s bloody offensive in Gaza — must now support the local Jewish community and stand against antisemitism.
Jewish New Yorkers are facing the largest jump in antisemitic hate crimes in decades, Hochul said. “Where are their allies now?” she asked rhetorically.
Hochul, who visited Israel earlier in October on a solidarity mission, has been criticized by some who have felt she has not sufficiently addressed the anxieties of Palestinian New Yorkers in recent weeks.
More than 8,000 people are said to have died in Gaza since Israel launched its attack on the enclave, after Hamas, which rules Gaza, conducted a ruthless rampage through southern Israel on Oct. 7, killing more than 1,000 people.
In her speech Tuesday, the governor said that “for Jewish and Muslim New Yorkers alike, the pain is deep,” and she acknowledged the viewpoint of critics of the Israeli government. But she said opposition to Israeli policies should not prevent solidarity with Jewish New Yorkers.
You can vigorously oppose Israel’s response following the attack on their people. But still be vigorously opposed to terrorism, Hamas, antisemitism and hate in all of its forms.
Hochul said.
The speech came after threats of violence were made against the Center for Jewish Living at Cornell University over the weekend, prompting cops to swarm the campus. Hochul visited Cornell on Monday.
At Cornell, in Ithaca, N.Y., ominous threats were posted on Greekrank, a website for grading fraternities and sororities, according to The Cornell Daily Sun, the school’s newspaper. One post’s author said they intended to “shoot up” the Center for Jewish Living, according to a screenshot.
The New York State Police have assisted the Cornell Police in securing the Center for Jewish Living. The FBI said in a statement Monday that it was working to determine the credibility of the threats and to “take appropriate investigative action.”
New York State is home to an estimated 2 million Jews, the largest Jewish population outside Israel. At least one New Yorker, Omer Neutra, 22, of Long Island, was taken hostage in Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Once again we see another example of this new War on Terror 2.0, as I am calling it, allowing for more sweeping censorship and policing to be implemented, under the guise of preventing antisemitism. Ultimately it will not work and contentions will only be allowed to increase.
If you are a Jew from the New England area, or across the U.S. and Canada, or other European lands, you should and need to return to your land in Israel. Violence and bloody murder will assuredly increase against you and your Jewish brethren, so I suggest hiding yourself and looking for ways to escape the coming fire. It will happen whether you like it or not, so I suggest doing it the easy way now, or the Lord will have to do it by force…
[7] Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that they shall no more say, The LORD liveth, which brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; [8] But, The LORD liveth, which brought up and which led the seed of the house of Israel out of the north country, and from all countries whither I had driven them; and they shall dwell in their own land. Jeremiah 23:7-8
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

If New Yorkers fall for this like they do for everything else their Communist leaders espouse, then they deserve it. For anyone capable of THINKING CRITICALLY there are already laws about hate crimes so this piece of trash “creature” masquerading as a human is gaslighting voters once more. So sick of STUPID
BTW, BAD PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE A HOOT WHAT FRAU HOCHUL EMITS FROM HER ANAL ORIFICE THAT MOST OF US CALL A ‘MOUTH” THE HATE WILL CONTINUE UNABATED JUST LIKE CRIMINALS KILL WITH GUNS SO THEY WANT TO TAKE GUNS FROM LAW ABIDING PEOPLE, AND NOT FROM THE CRIMINALS. NAME ONE CHICAGO STREET GANG THAT HAS BEEN DISARMED.
WE ALL KNOW GUNS HAVE LITTLE LEGS, LITTLE FINGERS THAT POP OUT TO PULL TRIGGERS, EXTENTION ARMS THAT REMOVE AND LOAD MAGAZINES WITH BULLETS, A LITTLE EYE HIDDEN IN THE FRONT SIGHT AND A “KILL” BRAIN INSIDE THE DEVICE THAT HOMES IN AND KILLS ANYTHING IT SEES. YES, THE GUN IS DEFINITELY KILLING PEOPLE. HOW DID THAT TECHNOLOGY EVER GET DEVELOPED AND PUT INTO GUNS WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING ABOUT IT.. IT WAS SO CLEVERLY DONE, YOU CAN STRIP A GUN DOWN TO ITS PARTS AND STILL NOT FIND IT. I WILL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE STUDYING GUN PARTS TO SEE HOW A GUN CAN KILL SOMEONE. SHOULD MAKE A GREAT PHD THESIS BUT WOULD IT BE AN ENGINEERING DOCTORATE, A PSYCHOLOGICAL DOCTORATE, “ROBOTICS”, ETC. TIME WILL TELL. I AM GETTING TO WORK ON THIS PERPLEXING PROBLEM IMMEDIATELY. HAHAHAHAHA
Lol
She thinks that she is a dictator, with all her petty rules.
To Freethinker; don’t forget that a force re-set trigger is a machine gun, hehehe
Next is the Thought police; I thinks she’s an imbecile and an evil witch
