PURCHASE – Neo-Nazi fliers have be discovered at SUNY Purchase and Governor
Andrew Cuomo, Monday, said he is “disgusted…and will not tolerate
the toxic social dynamic that is spreading like a cancer across the country
and fueling hateful material like the neo-Nazi fliers that were found
on this campus.”
The governor has directed the State Police Hate Crimes Unit to assist
in the investigation.
“Those behind this noxious act should know that these fliers, far
from inciting fear, will only harden our resolve to combat hate in all
its forms,” the governor said. “We will not cower in the face
of hate. While they spread fear, we will spread love.”
Congresswoman Nita Lowey (D, NY-17) said she was “deeply troubled”
to learn of the posters “especially as Jews across the world came
together for the Festival of Lights, a celebration of the triumph of the
Jewish people over persecution.”
Lowey said it is “with the same resolve and courage in which the
Jews prevailed that we today must confront the disturbing rise of anti-Semitism
at home and abroad. Only by working together will we root out hatred and
bigotry in all its forms.”
