Palestine does not exist. There, I said it again. Also, Congresswoman Omar is an antisemite. Said that too. Thanks for following me.
brooklyn council member calls ilhan omar an antisemite. this is the same council member who has repeatedly said that palestine does not exist and refers to them as “so-called palestinians”

@quaijames @FonrougeGab Mr. James, you are what we would call a mentsch. You accepted, and you've repented. Hindsight is always 20-20. Glad you were able to realize that. Thank you for your words; they are truly meaningful. Any time you want to walk the streets of my neighborhood with me, I'm happy to.

Yep. You're still an antisemite. P.S. Israel hasn't been in Gaza for 14 years.
How many more protesters must be shot, rockets must be fired, and little kids must be killed until the endless cycle of violence ends?. The status quo of occupation and humanitarian crisis in Gaza is unsustainable. Only real justice can bring about security and lasting peace.

Hello @nyctaxi. This one's on you. Please revoke this driver's hack license. He's forfeited his right to drive a taxi in NYC. Thanks to Councilman @BobHoldenNYC for amplifying this incident.
This morning on the Van Wyck Expwy- Astoria, Queens. A yellow taxicab driver ripped off the Israeli flag from the car next to him & then harassed the driver with reckless driving. License #y2055 Medallion 3e46 @ViralNewsNYC @StopAntisemites @nyc311 @NYCMayorsOffice @AviMayer

Please let me help you here:."apparently" = caught on video."a building" = a synagogue."neighbors" = Jews.
Two nights ago, some young people apparently threw objects into a window of a building at Throop & Bartlett St, where neighbors were gathered for Rosh Hashana prayers. We need to care for each other and protect each other. This isn’t acceptable in our district or in our city.

OK, so this supporter of Hamas kidnapping is videoed committing his hate crime. His face is known, his school is known. @CityCollegeNY should immediately expel him. This is easy.
A City College kefiyah clad student is filmed stealing flyers off the school’s Hillel table that is attempting to bring awareness of kidnapped Israeli children taken into Gaza by Hamas. This is unacceptable @CityCollegeNY

While I appreciate that @NYPDHateCrimes and @NYPD70Pct are taking this seriously, the environment in which this incident happens is one where criminals know there are no consequences for crime in New York. Particularly hate crimes, and particularly against Jews. 4/4.

Mr. Mayor, your words are unacceptable. To condemn our entire community over one group of people is something you would not do to any other ethnic group, and I know you long enough to know that you know this.
My message to the Jewish community, and all communities, is this simple: the time for warnings has passed. I have instructed the NYPD to proceed immediately to summons or even arrest those who gather in large groups. This is about stopping this disease and saving lives. Period.

Well done NYU.
NYU suspended 13 students who were at a Dec. 11 pro-Palestinian protest at the library. At least five have lost university-affiliated jobs and one no longer has access to scholarship funds. I spoke with them for my first @HellGateNY story.

I served with @RitchieTorres in the City Council and I know him for more than a decade -- long before either of us ran for office. This ⬇️⬇️⬇️ is absolutely true. He has ALWAYS stood up for the Jewish people. That's why the antisemites hate him. And why we love him.
There’s a false narrative that I am pro-Israel because of “the Jewish lobby” or “Jewish money” or whatever antisemitic tropes critics wish to invoke. Left unmentioned is the fact that I have been pro-Israel for nearly a decade—long before I ever thought of running for Congress.

I'd love to know which "concentration camp" was not a "death camp." Don't politicize the Holocaust.
And for the shrieking Republicans who don’t know the difference: concentration camps are not the same as death camps. Concentration camps are considered by experts as “the mass detention of civilians without trial.”. And that’s exactly what this administration is doing.

Taking down passenger aircraft is an old PLO tactic. Hamas is bringing its war to Queens.
BREAKING:. Anti-Israel protesters launch a large balloon in front of JFK Airport, trying to shut down the airport. They launched the ballon as planes were landing and taking off. They were clearly willing to gamble with the lives of hundreds of people.

Sure. And Kristallnacht was really because the Nazis just didn't like windows.
From the river to the sea is an aspirational call for freedom, human rights, and peaceful coexistence, not death, destruction, or hate. My work and advocacy is always centered in justice and dignity for all people no matter faith or ethnicity.

The laws of New York protect criminals and endanger the law-abiding. In this case (at least), the federal government can step in. An attack on a Member of Congress is a federal crime (18 U.S.C. § 351). cc @TheJusticeDept @NewYorkFBI @WDNYnews.

The solution to people being murdered on the subway is most likely the opposite of electing this ⬇️.
Debrina Kawam was burned to death on an F Train at Coney Island-Stillwell Avenue Station shortly before Christmas. Thanks to hard work from Brooklyn District Attorney Eric Gonzalez and the NYPD, she was identified and her alleged killer is in custody. The real way to honor

To those who don't want cops on our subways: I'll take them. I want cops on, around, all over our subways. As many as we can get. Send us the cops you don't want. We're sick of living in fear.
And the hate in #BoroPark continues. A local resident was soaked with soda in a unprovoked incident on the subway platform on New Utrecht Avenue. Our volunteers assisted him with filing a report with @NYPD66Pct.

Bowman's full blown antisemitism, and how many elected officials excuse or even stand with him, will never be forgotten. He is the David Duke of New York Democratic politics.
#NY16 Source shared recent speech by Bowman telling voters that because he’s “fighting against genocide” he’s being “attacked by the Zionist regime we call AIPAC.”

Around the city @NYCParks are open to the public. Well, not everywhere. If you live in Midwood, Boro Park or Williamsburg, the city has chained your park, and if you're in one, you're treated like a criminal. #EnoughIsEnough. It's time for @NYCMayorsOffice to unchain our parks!

You set fires and then show up with a broken fire extinguisher. Please stop. And get yourself a mirror.
In the United States and all over the world, we are witnessing a dangerous rise in anti-Semitic acts of violence. I am deeply concerned about reports that the terrible shooting at a kosher supermarket in New Jersey was motivated by hatred of the Jewish people.
