Glen Cove, NY - Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center (HMTC) Condemns Gun Violence Against Three Palestinian College Students
The Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center of Nassau County strongly condemns the recent act of gun violence against three Palestinian college students who were shot and wounded in Vermont during their Thanksgiving break. As an organization dedicated to promoting tolerance and understanding, we stand firmly against hate and violence. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the students and their families and we wish them a full recovery.

It is unacceptable for anyone to be targeted because of their race, religion, or ethnicity. Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims in America, like people of all backgrounds, deserve to live in safety and without fear. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the urgent need to work toward a world where diversity is celebrated and violence has no place.

We call on all individuals and communities to join us in this effort and to stand up against hate and intolerance in all its forms. Only by working together can we create a more peaceful and just society for all.
