We are appalled to see such an egregious display of hostility toward "Zionists" (which is how the large majority of Jews see themselves) and Israel in @CUNYLaw's commencement address. This is yet another example of why many Jewish students feel victimized on campus.

Frightening attacks on Jews in Times Square of #NYC this evening. Many arrests made. Working with @NYPDHateCrimes and @NewYorkFBI, as well as elected officials and the local Jewish community. Violence is absolutely unacceptable.
Disturbing videos appear to show vile verbal assaults and fireworks directed at Jews. Other reports of violence are coming in. We are in touch with law enforcement. While we await more information, let’s be clear: targeting Jews is #antisemitism.

1/ All religious and ethnic groups have the right to lobby for things they care about and media has a right to report on it. At the same time, we need to be sensitive to longstanding antisemitic claims that Jews have power and control over governments around the world. 🧵.
Elected officials in New York rarely embrace positions that could antagonize Hasidic leaders, who typically encourage their community to vote as a unified bloc.

Anti-Zionism isn’t funny, no matter the context. Eman El-Husseini has propagated the antisemitic idea that people are "slaves" to "Zionist capitalism," compared Jewish support for Israel to a “cult," & suggested Ashkenazi Israelis don't "belong" in Israel.

This is wrong. Preventing others from speaking is not “free speech.” We are appalled that some students at #Vassar repeatedly interrupted @henmazzig as he was telling his story to the students that invited him.
Tonight, as I spoke about how anti-Zionists hung my great grandfather in Iraq, anti-Zionists chanted for my death at Vassar College in NY. (Note: “from the river to the sea” is a chant used by Hamas when they call for the genocide of all Jews). Am Israel Chai

We strongly condemn maps of NYC that are circulating on social media with calls to "globalize the intifada" in "direct actions" and "operations" zones. This is reminiscent of the Boston Mapping Project and targets both Jewish and non-Jewish businesses and organizations for their.
A social media account posted the following headline: “Globalize the Intifada: Zone of Operations.” . It features a NYC map of largely Jewish organizations to target. It describes Jewish orgs as “the enemy of colonized people.” It calls October 7th “a new chapter of struggle.”

Threatening to repeat the Hamas massacre of 1400 Jews is not peaceful protest. It's a call to slaughter innocent civilians because they are Jews. This is not just antisemitism. It is yet another example of the dangerous, hate-fueled, antisemitic intimidation we are tracking that.
In Englewood, NJ Muslims gathered to object to last week’s unanimous resolution condemning Hamas. This guy held up a picture of a dead Israeli woman and screamed at Jews: . Sderot, October the 7th. It’s going to happen again, soon!. Then they stole and burned an Israeli flag.
