At an interfaith gathering in Manhattan, Mayor Eric Adams condemned antisemitism and the recent murder of two Israeli Embassy staffers. He criticized antisemitic sentiments expressed during anti-Israel protests and emphasized the need for unity against hate. To protect the Jewish community, the NYPD is enhancing security measures around synagogues, despite there being no direct threats reported. Adams's remarks came a day after the violent incident in Washington, D.C., highlighting the fragility of safety for the Jewish community amidst rising tensions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
"We may not agree on politics, but we must agree that we won't let hate or violence take anyone." - Mayor Eric Adams
"We have heard so many people claim these protests aren't antisemitic, they're just anti-Israel. We cannot color-code hatred." - Mayor Eric Adams
