Jackson GOP Club President Mordechai Burnstein released the following statement after antisemitic graffiti was discovered at the site of the new Chai Lifeline headquarters in Jackson.
Dear Members,
As many of you may have heard, horrific anti-Semitic graffiti was discovered at the site of the new Chai Lifeline Center right here in Jackson. I join with Mayor Reina, Assemblyman Sauickie, Board of Education President Palmeri, and the entire Jackson Council in condemning such acts of hatred. There must be zero tolerance for such despicable acts and we all unequivocally condemn this incident of unfettered bigotry and hatred.
Sadly, this unfortunate incident did not occur in a vacuum. In the hours preceding the vandalism, agitators within our own Jackson community spewed hateful rhetoric across social media regarding this specific site. Hateful rhetoric on online platforms has real-life ramifications, as we so tragically witnessed today. We must all do more to ensure that such bigotry is expunged to the fullest extent possible.
I call upon our devoted law enforcement agencies to use all resources available to them to find and hold accountable those responsible for this loathsome action.
Jackson Township is a beautiful and wonderful town, whose diversity is its greatest strength. We cannot allow the words and actions of a few to divide us.
