(Jewish Group) Six NYC Council members reject establishment of 'End Jew Hatred Day' [View all]
The New York City Council on Thursday voted to establish April 29 as an annual “End Jew Hatred Day.” Four members abstained and two voted against the resolution.
Among those on the 51-member council who did not support the measure was Shahana Hanif, a representative of the heavily Jewish Brooklyn neighborhoods of Borough Park and Park Slope.
“Your antisemitism is showing,” Inna Vernikov, the Jewish Ukrainian Republican Brooklyn councilwoman who introduced the bill, said to the six who rejected it.
After the vote, Vernikov told The Jerusalem Post she felt "sick to my stomach."
