Antisemitism is on the rise in New York City, with a shocking 110% increase in incidents reported last year, setting a disturbing new record for the Empire State. The Anti-Defamation League revealed that 60% of these antisemitic outbreaks occurred in New York City, raising concerns about the prevalence of Jew hatred in the region.
Brooke Goldstein, a human rights attorney and founder of the End Jew Hatred movement, criticized the lack of consequences for antisemitic behavior within the public school system. Recent incidents, such as the targeting of a Jewish teacher at Hillcrest High School and ongoing harassment at Origins High School, have highlighted the urgent need for action.
