World Likud and World Zionist Organization Vice Chairman Ya'akov Hagoel says he "applauds the New York City Council's decision to install 100 security cameras in Brooklyn."
Hagoel continued: "Despite taking the important step, the situation is far from good. While cameras may provide a deterrent, they are far from providing the sense of security. The fight against the growing anti-Semitism phenomenon in the United States should begin with education, explaining the severity of the penalties, and bringing offenders to justice. Anti-Semitism begins with incitement on the internet, in the public discourse, in distortion of facts. It permeates prayer houses and anti-Semitic texts by clergy. It finds a convenient place for politicians and student organizations on campus. I strongly urge punishment and to put the fight against anti-Semitism in the United States on the public agenda."
