LETTER TO THE GAZETTE---JESSICA DIECKMAN--ON CROTON'S DEI COMMITEE & ANTI-SEMITISM

Welcome to The New Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short Everything Croton.

To the Editor,

I am writing to promote that the Village of Croton On Hudson’s DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) committee make a public statement denouncing the wide-spread and fast-growing antisemitism we are seeing in our state and across the country. I am appalled to read about college students harassing Jewish students verbally and physically on several major campuses. Student protestors for Palestine and the terrorist group Hamas at The Cooper Union forced Jewish students to lock themselves in a library as the student protestors chanted outside, trying to break in the doors. How terrifying this must have been for the Jewish students inside. Recently a student at Cornell University, now under arrest, threatened a mass shooting of Jewish students.

The hatred towards the Jewish victims of the 10/7 terrorist attacks in Israel is strong and on full display: the news shares video of students ripping down and destroying pictures of those taken as hostages during the 10/7 terrorist attack.

I was also highly disturbed to see the entire Town of New Castle’s DEI committee willingly resign because they refused to denounce antisemitism. Those people never really belonged on the committee in the first place if they can’t denounce that!

A statement made by our village should also include denouncing Hamas as well. I’m deeply disturbed to see and hear people openly supporting this terrorist group and the actions taken to kill Jewish people. Hamas also kills and terrorizes Palestinian people too regularly.

I very much appreciate Governor Kathy Hochul taking a strong stance against any antisemitism, hate, and Hamas while pledging full support for Israel.

 I sincerely hope our village also issues such a statement condemning these hateful actions and the growing antisemitism this country is experiencing.

Thanks for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
Jessica Dieckman

SEVEN NASHVILLE DETECTIVES SUSPENDED AFTER UNAUTHORIZED LEAK OF SCHOOL SHOOTER AUDREY HALE

The Nashville Police Department has suspended seven detectives in relation to the unauthorized leak of school shooter Audey Hale’s writings, according to a report.

The officers were placed on administrative duty Wednesday as the agency attempts to pinpoint exactly how conservative commentator Steven Crowder obtained the explosive documents, according to NBC’s Nashville affiliate.

Department spokesperson Don Aaron told the station “seven individuals are on administrative assignment to protect the integrity of the active, progressing investigation.”

Aaron stressed the move was “absolutely not punitive” and said the suspended detectives would not be named at this time. More at Seven Nashville detectives suspended after unauthorized leak of school shooter Audrey Hale's alleged writings (nypost.com)

IN THE NEWS---NY'S LLC TRANSPARENCY BILL LACKS THE TEETH OF ITS US TWIN

New York’s LLC Transparency Bill Lacks the Teeth of Its US Twin

A bill that would make New York the first state with a public database of limited liability company owners doesn’t carry the stiff penalties for violations that a similar federal law contains, says tax controversy attorney Brian Ketcham.

New York’s LLC Transparency Act, which is awaiting Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D) signature or veto, in many ways mirrors existing federal provisions in the Corporate Transparency Act—except where it matters most.

The state legislation—the first of its kind in the US—aims to make it difficult for owners of limited liability companies that are created or do business in New York to protect or hide assets, or to avoid state and federal income taxes. In broad terms, the bill would require both current and any newly established LLCs to disclose a list of all beneficial owners with the Department of State. MORE AT

POST COLUMNIST MURRAY VISITS ISRAEL, SEES HAMAS HORRORS PROTESTORS IGNORE

On visit to Israel, I have seen the horror that the world must not forget By Douglas Murray
Published Nov. 9, 2023, 1:45 p.m. ET

It is the nature of the news cycle that huge things get passed over.

But what happened just over a month ago in Israel should not be passed over.

The scale and catastrophe of what happened is still becoming clear.

Yet the world seems to have moved on.  MORE AT On visit to Israel, I have seen the horror that the world must not forget (nypost.com)
