No Hate, No Fear March Against Anti-Semitism Draws 10K To NYC

FOLEY SQUARE, NY —An estimated 10,000 people swelled Foley Square on Sunday morning to show solidarity against anti-Semitism. The event, billed as "No Hate, No Fear," was organized after five people were stabbed at a Hanukkah celebration at a Rabbi's home in Monsey last week.

The event, organized by the United Jewish Appeal-Federation of New york and other groups, started with a rally at Foley Square in lower Manhattan and then marched across the Brooklyn Bridge.

"There's a lot that still divides us," Gov. Cuomo told he crowd. "But today we stand as one."

The attack in Monsey was just one of more than one dozen incidents of anti-Semitism that have rocked the region in recent weeks. Several of the incidents have involved physical violence.

Just weeks before the attack in Monsey, a shooting targeted a Jewish deli in Jersey City and left a police officer, three civilians, and the two shooters dead.

"America is in a national crisis," Sen. Chuck Schumer wrote on Twitter, expressing solidarity with the marchers.

"We must re-dedicate ourselves to fighting the rising tide of anti-Semitism, hatred, and bigotry."
