In recent years and even in recent weeks there has been a rise in antisemitic attacks in cities across New York State and for Senator Joe Griffo enough is enough. Griffo has introduced legislation that would provide more protections against antisemitism and hateful acts against Jewish people. Griffo says that while this has been a problem for decades for people of the Jewish faith and heritage, the Anti-Defamation League has reported a dramatic increase in in-person and online acts of hate. It's not only an issue in New York State either. The Anti-Defamation League reports an increase in attacks and antisemitism across all 50 states. Some of the more recent attacks include an attack on a Jewish man in Times Square and synagogues being vandalized in several states, to name only a few.
