  1. Dear CNN Host and Governor Cuomo, First, our hearts go out to the victims of another senseless crime against the Jewish people. I live in Europe and it seems anti-sementic crimes are on the rise as well as against immigrants. This is appalling and in this difficult time I am offering a solution to diminishing the attacks on Orthodox Jews as well as other religious minorities. Please don’t take offense at my advice, I only mean to say some words that may save some lives. But when people overtly show their religious convictions, they are soft-targets for extremists. I know that people of faith wear their religious emblems and costumes with pride, and rigthtly so! It's because they are proud to be from their ethnic backgrounds, but, my friends of all religious persuasions, this is the age of mass-murder and senseless killing for the sake of killing sometimes just to get mentioned in the news. America has had the worst year of all the years of mass-killings in 2019. Alarm bells should be going off in the religious communities. The message to me is that we must realize we are not in the 1950’s anymore. Why go out of the house looking like a Christmas tree and be surprised someone attacks you for being a Christian, etc.? Again, excuse me if I have offended anyone, but when we hear of religious people being attacked where I live in Europe, they are always wearing clothes that signal to the attackers who they are. We must accept that these are dangerous times, and that perhaps discretion must be brought to the forefront. I know the attack at the rabbi's house does not fit in my advice, but if what I say can possibly ward-off an attack on someone -- whatever faith they represent, isn't 2020 the year to re-examine how we are precieved in public?
