Last Friday night, we held our Jewish/Greek night , an evening celebrating friendship, culture, food, music and the coming together of two communities.
Since then, we have received a number of abusive and hateful messages about the event. We have decided to share some of those messages, with all names and identifying details removed.
Quite honestly, how anyone could find hatred in an evening designed to bring people together is beyond belief.
What is even more upsetting is that people seem to forget there are real people on the receiving end of these messages. Before you send something hateful or abusive, please stop and think about the hurt and harm you are causing to others.
We will not be intimidated, and we will not allow hatred to dictate what we do.
We will continue to celebrate our communities, our cultures and, most importantly, our ability to come together with respect and friendship.
There is enough division in the world already. We choose unity.
Update: We’ve decided to name these people because they’ve made the conscious choice to publicly post their comments under their own names and continue to do so.
If they’re comfortable proudly attaching their names to these words, we’re happy to let them have their moment in the spotlight.
So, here it is their five minutes of fame, courtesy of their own words. We’ll leave it to everyone else to decide what they say about the people behind them.
