(PLAINVIEW, N.Y.) - Nassau County Legislature Deputy Minority Leader Arnold W. Drucker (D – Plainview) and Legislator Seth I. Koslow (D – Merrick) joined their colleagues in government and hundreds of local residents on Sunday, Dec. 8 as Run for their Lives marched from Country Pointe in Plainview to the Mid Island Y JCC in memory of Omer Neutra, a Plainview native who was murdered by Hamas terrorists during the Oct. 7, 2023 assault on Israel.
“The steadfast and unwavering support shown by our community continues to be a source of comfort and strength for the Neutra family in their time of unthinkable tragedy,” Deputy Minority Leader Drucker said. “I am proud of how Jewish and non-Jewish people around the country and the world have united to condemn the barbaric actions that have taken place, and Omer’s senseless murder has only redoubled our resolve. We must do whatever we can to never let this happen again and exert every effort we can to get the remaining hostages home. That must be our top priority, and it can never be anything less than our top priority.”
“This march in honor of Omer Neutra’s life and legacy was a powerful demonstration of the indelible mark he left upon the world,” Legislator Koslow said. “While our hearts will always be broken by his senseless murder, our resolve to free the hostages has never been stronger - and we will never waver until there is justice for the families who have suffered so greatly at the hands of these Hamas terrorists.”
