Hochul marks three years since October 7
Governor Kathy Hochul posted a memorial statement on the anniversary, noting the continued pain and calling for lasting peace.
This is context-free boilerplate from a politician when her own state just revoked a quarter million student visas for people who criticized Israel, and the country's security state is now openly weaponizing immigration enforcement against political speech. The strength and resilience she's invoking exists in a very different legal reality than it did three years ago.
It’s hard to fathom that it has been three years since the October 7 Hamas massacre. Three years since the deadliest day for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. The pain of that dark day has not faded. But neither has the strength, resilience and enduring hope of the Jewish people. Today, we remember the innocent lives stolen, stand with the survivors and the families forever changed, and pray for a lasting peace.
