The New York Police Department released its overall crime reduction report, but, unfortunately, anti-Semitic crimes in NY were not part of that good news. The opposite, in fact.
Since Mamdani was elected mayor, hate crimes against the city’s Jews have increased.Jewish New Yorkers are bearing the brunt of over 56% of all recorded hate crimes since January 1, 2026, despite making up only 10% of the population.

This troubling hate crime trend stands in sharp contrast to a broad drop in general violence. All seven major felony categories saw declines, with murder dropping 22.8% and year-to-date shooting incidents down 7.5%.

Only crimes against Jews exploded in New York.

Could it be that this is an early result of the intentional policies of the Mamdani regime?

It is obvious that this rise in hate crimes against local Jews stems from the high-profile rhetoric and lies against Israel that embolden antisemites to commit violent hate crimes against their favourite target – Jews. In this case, local Jews.

Sadly, perhaps tragically, this hate and violence will only rise under a Mamdani leadership.

This is a warning, a prediction. You heard it first here…

New York will follow Paris, Manchester, Sydney, where unbridled allowance, even encouragement, of anti-Semitism led to the mass murder of their Jews.

Let’s be brutally honest. Mamdani is a mayor who doesn’t care if Jews leave his town.  His words and his actions make that abundantly clear.

They can easily and conveniently be replaced by those who approve and support Mamdani’s Marxist-Islamist politics.
