Hate and antisemitism have no place in our Commonwealth," Shapiro wrote.
宾夕法尼亚州检察长戴夫·桑德也发表声明,称其“令人深感不安”。他写道:“这不仅仅是针对以色列政策的抗议,而是单独挑出我们的宾夕法尼亚州同胞,基于他们的犹太身份对他们进行攻击,针对的是他们无关、也无力影响的政策,仅仅因为他们的信仰。”
Pennsylvania Attorney General Dave Sunday also issued a statement calling it "deeply unsettling."" This is not simply a protest directed at the policies of Israel, rather it singles out our fellow Pennsylvanians based on their Jewish identity, targeting them for policies they have nothing to do with and no ability to affect because of their faith," Sunday wrote.
