(New York, NY, October 28, 2018) – The Committee of 100 (C100) expresses sympathy for the victims of the mass murder at a Pittsburgh synagogue yesterday and support for all those affected. Press reports strongly suggest that this act was a hate crime, motivated by the desire to harm a community through a heinous act of violence. Anti-Semitism has a long history in Western culture. This crime occurred at the heart of a Jewish neighborhood. The alleged perpetrator participated in social media that promoted racial nationalism.
As an organization that emphasizes bridge building and civic engagement, C100 believes it is crucial to reach out to our friends and colleagues of Jewish background. America is commonly called a nation of immigrants. It succeeds in that project only through the mutual support given by diverse peoples to one another. Minorities are always vulnerable, but America is especially divided at this moment; it is all the more important for people who share a commitment to ideals of inclusion to support one another publicly. “Shelo ted’u od tza’ar.”
The Committee of 100 is a national, non-partisan leadership organization of prominent Chinese Americans in business, government, academia, and the arts. For over 25 years, the Committee has been committed to a dual mission of promoting the full participation of Chinese Americans in all fields of American life, and encouraging constructive relations between the peoples of the United States and Greater China. www.committee100.org
