"Cuomo Urges Hochul to Deploy National Guard as Antisemitism Surges"

Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo has called on his successor, Governor Kathy Hochul, to deploy the National Guard to protect the Jewish community in the face of a rise in antisemitism following the Hamas-Israel conflict. Cuomo stated that the scope of antisemitism post-Hamas' attack on Israel is widespread and dangerous, and urged New Yorkers of all faiths to stand together against hate. While Hochul has deployed the New York State Police to protect Jewish sites, she has not activated the National Guard. The response to Cuomo's call for military intervention has been divided, with some accusing him of grandstanding and others supporting the need for increased protection.
