From the Desk of Anthony D’Urso: Anti-Semitic acts personal to me

The Island Now

Having come from a different country myself, I know how hard it is to feel different, to feel the struggle of being ostracized.

And I can only imagine that our Jewish community feels similarly when faced with the recent acts of anti-Semitism in Port Washington.

I wholeheartedly condemn these terrible actions borne out of ignorance and hatred, and I would like to make it clear that any anti-Semitic behavior is not to be tolerated in our communities.

I lend my support to the schools making valiant efforts to educate these misguided individuals.

It is my fervent hope that together as a community, Port Washington can work together to rise above such bigotry.

Anthony D’Urso
