Statement from Assemblyman Dov Hikind

Re: New York Post Cover Caption and Photo “Who Didn’t Want Him Dead?”

I understand that the New York Post wants to sell papers and that they are willing to sacrifice the standards of propriety from time to time. But there is a difference between bad taste and just plain indecency.

The pain that this headline caused to not only a man’s family but to the entire Jewish community is indescribable and was so unnecessary. It was a heartless act that should never have been allowed. It was truly beneath contempt.
