The city’s Jewish community is sounding the alarm about a rise in antisemitism after\u00a0a Jewish man and an Asian man were stabbed on the Upper West Side last week.<\/p>\n
That attack, which is being investigated as a hate crime, has also intensified the growing tension between Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the city’s Jewish leaders over his criticism of the Israeli government.<\/p>\n
Over the weekend, Mamdani reiterated his vow to combat antisemitism.\u00a0While Jewish New Yorkers make up 10% of the city’s population, NYPD crime stats show that more than half of all reported hate crimes in the city since January were anti-Jewish.<\/p>\n
Mark Treyger, the CEO of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, sits down with NY1’s Errol Louis on “Inside City Hall” to discuss the attacks.\u00a0Treyger is also a former City Council member and former senior Department of Education official.\u00a0<\/p>\n
