  • State leaders pledge to root out antisemitism

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — Gov. Maura Healey is vowing that her administration will move quickly to implement recommendations in a new report on antisemitism in Massachusetts, which found an “alarming” increase in hate crimes and discrimination targeting Jewish people over the past year.

    The report by the Special Commission on Combatting Antisemitism, released earlier this month, said hate crimes against Jewish students in the state have risen dramatically while gaps in anti-bias training and a lack of centralized reporting in public schools mean many incidents of antisemitism go unaddressed.

  • Moulton urges Israel to increase aid to Gaza

    [ad_1]

    BOSTON — U.S. Rep. Seth Moulton is leading a group of House Democrats and veterans calling on Israel to allow more food and other aid to enter Gaza amid increasing warnings of a humanitarian disaster in the region.

    In a letter to Israeli ambassador to the U.S. Yechiel Leiter, the lawmakers expressed “serious concern with the dire humanitarian aid situation in Gaza” and called on Israel to “flood Gaza with humanitarian aid” which they said would also help Israel deprive the terrorist group Hamas of the “leverage” it has gained in restricted aid to the region.
