A previous report said anti-Jewish hate crimes were up 71% over a year ago. But the situation is rapidly worsening, as the report below explains. As Intifada on the Hudson documents, Mamdani’s antisemitism was known from the beginning of his political career. He has even said that he got into politics because of the “Palestinian” issue. He made no secret of his disdain for Israel and Jews throughout his campaign, particularly in his notorious refusal to condemn the phrase “Globalize the Intifada,” which is a thinly veiled call for the murder of Jewish civilians everywhere. So it’s no surprise in the slightest degree that his friends and supporters would be feeling emboldened, and acting accordingly.
“Anti-Jewish hate surging at ‘staggering margin’ in NYC, up 150% last month, by some NYPD metrics,” by Menachem Wecker, JNS, June 12, 2026:
(Jun. 12, 2026 / JNS) The New York City Police Department said that anti-Jewish hate crimes were up 70.8% in the city last month compared to May 2025. It didn’t inform the public that, if it compared statistics from the months in a broader way, the increase was more than double that—150%.
Under New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who overturned many of his predecessor’s executive orders protecting Jews and Israelis hours into his tenure, the city has twice changed the way it reports hate crimes after the Big Apple recorded a 182% increase in antisemitic hate crimes in Mamdani’s first month on the job.
In February, the city shared only “confirmed” hate crimes but not “reported” ones, and after a backlash, it said in March that it would record “confirmed” and “reported” hate crimes separately.
Mamdani’s spokeswoman has said that synagogues that host pro-Israel events violate international law, and the mayor has said several times that he would have the Israeli prime minister arrested in New York City. Jewish leaders have told JNS that the mayor isn’t doing enough to protect Jews in the city.
A JNS analysis suggests that since the city reported hate crime statistics for “confirmed” and “reported” incidents separately for March, the city has suggested that there is no percentage change in the 103 anti-Jewish “confirmed” hate crimes in that span in 2026 compared to 2025. But if the city also shared the statistics for “reported” anti-Jewish hate crimes, it would suggest that the 140 reported anti-Jewish hate crimes in the city from March to May are a 32% increase over similar incidents from March to May in 2025.
Last month, the NYPD said that there were 41 “confirmed” anti-Jewish hate crimes in the city, which it said was a 70.8% increase on the 24 “confirmed” in May 2025. When the department shared statistics last month on “reported” hate crimes, it said that 60 such reports targeted Jews. It didn’t provide information on how that compared to reported incidents in May 2025.
The 41 “confirmed” hate crimes targeting Jews in New York City last month represent more than 60% of the total number of “confirmed” hate crimes, 68, that month. Jessica Tisch, commissioner of the NYPD, has said that Jews make up about 10% of city residents….

This is the true face of Islam, hatred for Jews and Christians as taught in Islam’s Qur’an(Qur’an 98:6-7; 5:51; 9:29, etc.). Allah in Qur’an 5:51 says, “O you who have believed[Muslims], DO NOT TAKE the Jews and the Nasara(Christians) as friends. They are friends to one another. And whoever among you takes them as friends, so surely he is of them. Surely Allah does not guide the unjust people.” Also, Allah in Qur’an 5:82 says that Jews are the worst enemies of the Muslims.
Allah inspires religious hatred because Non-Muslims are Allah’s worst creatures since they do not believe in Allah. Allah in Qur’an 8:55 says, “Surely the worst creatures before Allah are those who became infidels, so they do not believe.” See also Qur’an 7:179; 98:6. Allah in Qur’an 98:6 says, “Surely those who became infidels, from the People of the Book[Jews and Christians] and polytheists, will abide in the fire of hell forever. Those are the worst of the creatures.”

I believe the Jews of New York still have a lot of time to begin organizing their exit. I mean in a sense they will not lose a major amount on their car and home sales, they can take their time and move to Florida and Texas.
The only problem have is they come here and vote democrat. So I am really split on this issue. I don’t know if we need that here. Texas is falling to democrats in the polls. A Jewish exodus from Mamdani would be enough to flip my state blue. We cannot afford a Mamdani or a Omar here being voted in.
New Yorkers are openly telling us native Texans they are voting for democrats. It is frustrating to explain to them they would set the same environment here as where they fled. But they seem to despise us conservatives from Texas….
If you are a Jewish person fleeing NYC. You must vote republican or you are to stay with your Mamdani and enjoy the beatings.
JS says
It’s been said repeatedly that Jews didn’t vote for Momdani. The whole election was fraudulent.
As for the Christians and Catholics – they don’t vote. Haven’t you heard that? I learned of that only a year ago but it’s an ongoing problem.
somehistory says
When before Pilate,
Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”

Many see this as a reason not to vote for politicians “of this world,” and their “kingdoms.’

Jews did not have any power to arrest anyone. They were occupied and controlled by Rome.
That passage was written by a liar, to impose their new religion and demonize Jews…

The dead are loyal democrat voters ,and with automatic voter registration with getting a NYS drivers license many illegals getting them you have that voting block. You have the welfare voting block one in seven NYC residences is on the dole. Then the Moslems are a voting block , and the the hardcore useful idiots libtards . With no ID voting in NYC or state ,no removing dead or voters who moved out of state off the voting rolls ,voting permitted for about a month mail in voting ,you get a grim picture how this Moslem trust fund kid got elected ,Then you no republican primary so a light weight “community organizer” who never did anything on the ticket .Splitting the vote with grandma killing ass grabbing Cuomo who resigned in disgrace as governor of NYS .
ploome says
how about “organizing the exit” of Mamdani and all the other trash that voted him in…
you know, who voted for Mamdani
.Mamdani “built the coalition that the left always wanted to build:
it’s multiracial,
it’s young,
it’s renters, and it’s people squeezed by affordability.”
Lange noted that Mamdani increased his numbers with
blacks and Latinos, which he lost in the primary, and “further maximized his base of liberal progressives,
young leftists, and
Muslims and
South Asians.”
Lange also said Mamdani won some minority voters in
“immigrant strongholds”
who voted for President Donald Trump last year. “I wouldn’t say he was winning over white working-class voters and MAGA voters,” he added.
people who want what they are unable to afford, and they want to take from others.
if they can’t afford NYC….they should leave

Get real. Muslims run the show. NYC Jews are fleeing as we speak whether u like it or not. Just go to palm beach and get back at me.
New Yorkers are simply not going to push the Muslims out. They push muslims in. That’s a fact. This ain’t the nyc of 2001 bud. New York is heavily islamized you will be shocked at the number.
The Muslims there play the system so well. Their friends who control government money, prefer to give it out to Muslims in may tricky ways. The news has got out all over, and more Muslims are coming to spend the Jewish money they so despise.

Beans
You beat me to it!
JS
You are right that NY Jews didn’t vote for Mamdani, but one can’t beat something w/ nothing. The generation that used to elect Rudy is either dead b/w 9/11 related illnesses or Covid-19, or has left the state already – done what Beans is advocating above
Result is that the bulk of New Yorkers are now newer non-White tweens who live in NYC and whose rents are paid by their parents. So they root for politicians who promise them the most free stuff. If that demography is a majority, like it now is in NYC, there is no way that a Republican can get elected. Which is why, except Curtis Sliwa, no Republican wants to even run!
So that leaves us w/ a Dem primary. I was actually rooting for Mayor Adams, willing to give him the grace that any corruption he was swept in, while not great, was the average run of the mill corruption, but that he was targeted for opposing sending illegal migrants to NYC. Other than that, the Dems having Cuomo as their other candidate just made things worse: in a pissing contest, Mamdani was bound to win! I heard Megyn Kelly at the time (when I used to listen to her) make the case that we don’t want to lose NYC like we lost Minneapolis and Dearborn, but that ship has sailed: we already have!
The only Christians that might be left in NYC are probably the antisemitic variety

Jules Isaac
his book Jésus et Israël, which was written during the war and made him a protagonist in the Seelisberg Conference of 1947, culminating in his decisive key role in the origin of the groundbreaking declaration Nostra Aetate during the Second Vatican Council.[2] In the 1950s, Isaac had an international reputation for his work in Christian and Jewish relations.[3]
For two thousand years the Churches, Catholic, Eastern, Coptic and others taught that the Jews
were the murderers of God. They also taught that the Jews were the ones who killed Jesus; and
had rejected Jesus. They taught that the Jews had rejected and lost the special relationship with
God, to the church, the Jews were no longer the “Chosen People.”
They taught that Christians
and the Church were the Replacement in the relationship with God.
This meant that the Jews
would live accused, scourged and oppressed, as eternal witness and example to their perfidy,
until Jesus would return at the end of times.
The Roman victory in the Jewish Wars that followed in the years after Jesus’ death destroyed the
Holy Temple, Jerusalem and much of the Jewish people in Israel. Even the name of the land of
Israel was wiped away and renamed Palestine by the Romans. To early Christians, the
destruction was an affirmation of God’s rejection of the Jews. Christianity eventually became the
religion of Rome and the Jews became the accursed of Rome because of the Church.

and Martin Luther
https://exhibitions.library.columbia.edu/exhibits/show/martin-luther/judaism
Luther’s writings on Jews and Judaism mark an abominable moment in the history of Christian anti-semitism.
In Wittenberg, the parish church where Luther often preached featured a frieze of a “Judensau,” an obscene and sacrilegious image of a “Jew-pig.”
Luther wrote his anti-semitic works in a prevailing European culture characterized by demonizing stereotypes and slanderous rumors of poisoning, usury, and blood libel. It was also furthered by portions of his theology that conflated Judaism with the other “false religions” of Islam and Roman Catholicism and became the target of his savage polemics.
In the later years of his life, faced with the failure of his message to win converts, Luther viciously attacked Jews and Judaism in vulgar, defamatory language. In On the Jews and Their Lies (1543), he called for the destruction of Jewish homes and synagogues, forced labor, the prohibition of the teaching and practice their religion, raging that Christians were “at fault in not slaying them.” In one of his last sermons, he vilifies Jews as “public enemies” and murderers, reiterating a call for their conversion and urging their expulsion from Germany if they did not. Jews were already forbidden to reside in many parts of Europe.,
millennia of teaching of contempt take a long time to disappear-often it just finds another name, another blood libel.

Some history
You are living in some kind of bubble. You sir do not hear what I hear. Anti semitism is growing so fast among European and white Americans it is scary.
That’s why I talk about its lot! That demographic is Christian as well! Do not tell me the pope and the Catholic Church is not pushing anti semitism as politely as possible. Let me hear rebut that!
The pope , and other large churches are openly cheering for Palestinians, and even Iranians. That is rooted more in anti semitism.
And do not even get me started on all of these anti semites like that Armenian guy with the beard, I can’t remember his name. There are many of these. Nick Fuentes. People are watching this garbage! And they talk about it secretly, and they believe it as well!
Why do they believe it? I noticed they simply do not have time to sort through all of the opinions and facts. So these guys flood the zone with anti semitism, and then you get softer anti semites like Tucker and others, these are all christians.
I’m not scolding you I am just upset from what I know and what I hear.

and Jesus (Greek name) was not christian
Paul and his Greek inspired followers created “Christianity”
https://www.myriobiblos.gr/texts/english/constantelos.html
Soon after its inception, Christianity was promulgated in the Greek-speaking world of the Roman Empire. It was propagated through the medium of the Greek language; it was interpreted and clarified by the Fathers of Christianity, who were either Greek in origin or Hellenized and who spoke and wrote in Greek. Christian creeds and canons were written and codified in the Greek language by local and ecumenical synods as well. The New Testament books themselves and much of the important literature of the Christian religion of the first ten centuries were written in Greek.
Greek philosophical thought and learning were utilized in defining Christian doctrines. Even Western Church Fathers such as Jerome, Ambrose, and Augustine, who wrote in the Latin language, reveal the influence of Greek thought in their writings.
-amazing how so many refuse to accept historical facts and prefer the fantasy narrative

No Jew or believing Christian should EVER vote for one of these sub-human scum. Vote for Brad Blakeman for governor of New York with the hope that he will remove this piece of shit from Office. And for every non- moose slime that voted for this scumbag for mayor, what did you expect was going to happen? We need to disabuse ourselves of the notion there are such a thing as a moderate moose slime. Those would simply be people who were born into the cult and made the conscious decision not to practice and identify as such. If they go to a mosque. If they support these kind of dirtbags in public office, then they are by definition, not moderate. They are simply moose slimes

That is a very unintelligent thing to write. Do you actually **know** “most Christians” and have you spoken to them about where they have their heads?
Many Christians are *led* by fools and liars. It is not the average Chrisitan who makes the decisions about who to *welcome* to whom to provide homes, phones, etc.
You would need to speak with *most* Christians to find out what most do with their heads.

Ghassan ALIAN IDF is a Druze says
Druze Activist: Delay in Syria’s Parliament signals crisis of legitimacy and representation
A lawyer and activist has argued that the delay in holding the first session of Syria’s new parliament reflects a crisis of legitimacy and representation, stressing that the body will not be able to meet Syrians’ aspirations unless it emerges from free elections that ensure the participation and representation of all Syrian components and regions.
Druze Activist: Delay in Syria’s Parliament signals crisis of legitimacy and representation
As Syrians await the first session of the new Syrian Parliament (People’s Assembly) following the completion of member selection in Hasakah Governorate, the date of the assembly’s convening remains unknown. This comes despite earlier statements and reports indicating that its inaugural session would be held on June 8, raising growing questions about the reasons behind the delay and the parliament’s role during the transitional period.
While some view the assembly as a means of filling the legislative vacuum and contributing to the rebuilding of state institutions, others question its legitimacy and the mechanism through which it was formed. Discussions continue regarding its ability to represent Syrians and reflect their aspirations during a critical stage in the country’s history.
In this context, Druze lawyer and activist Shorouq Abu Zeidan stated that the current parliament in Syria is “entirely illegitimate,” arguing that the mechanism used to form it is not based on sound electoral foundations that would guarantee its independence and genuine representation of citizens.
She explained that one-third of the parliament’s members will be appointed directly by interim government president Ahmed al-Sharaa, while the remaining two-thirds were selected through electoral committees that he himself helped establish. According to her, this makes the parliament “completely subordinate to the executive authority” and limits its ability to perform its legislative and oversight functions independently.
Abu Zeidan argued that any parliament’s ability to meet the aspirations of Syrians depends first on whether it possesses legitimacy derived from the will of voters and represents the various components of society. She stressed that the exclusion of any region or social group strips it of its representative character and weakens public confidence in any laws or decisions it may issue.
Addressing the absence of participation from Suwayda Governorate in the process of selecting assembly members, she explained that the governorate’s residents had refrained from engaging in the parliament’s formation from the outset because they viewed the process as illegitimate. She added that they also reject dealing with the interim government, particularly in light of the repercussions of the bloody events that took place in the governorate last July.
She further stated that the lack of representation of part of Syrian territory within the legislative institution negatively affects its national legitimacy, emphasizing that “any assembly that does not include all Syrian components and regions cannot enjoy full national legitimacy, regardless of the mechanism through which it was formed.”
On the extent to which Syrians may accept laws issued by the parliament, Abu Zeidan expressed her belief that such legislation will not receive sufficient legitimacy or public acceptance because, in her view, the parliament was not formed through the democratic mechanisms commonly recognized in the establishment of elected legislatures.
She stressed that a parliament capable of expressing the hopes and aspirations of Syrians must represent all components of the Syrian people without exception and include women, youth, and all social groups in a fair and equitable manner, free from exclusion or interference in electoral outcomes.
She affirmed that the fundamental condition for a parliament to acquire genuine national legitimacy is the holding of free and fair elections subject to public oversight, ensuring that all Syrians can participate in choosing their representatives.
Concluding her remarks, Druze lawyer and activist Shorouq Abu Zeidan emphasized that the parliament capable of genuinely contributing to the building of a new Syria is one elected through the free will of the people, able to carry out its legislative and oversight responsibilities independently, monitor the work of the government, hold state institutions accountable, and benefit from national expertise and competencies in a manner that serves the public interest and fulfills Syrians’ aspirations for a state founded on participation, genuine representation, and the rule of law.
Noah Andeark says
According to the CoPilot AI:
Anti‑Jewish hate crimes in NYC are up roughly **150% this month** because **May saw an unusually sharp spike in antisemitic incidents**, driven by a mix of **political rhetoric, spillover from the Gaza war, seasonal factors, and intensified street protests**. The NYPD’s latest data shows a **large jump in confirmed antisemitic attacks**, far outpacing increases against any other group.
—
## 📌 What the data shows
Two independent sources confirm a major surge:
– **41 confirmed antisemitic hate crimes in May**, up from **24 last May** — a **70.8% increase year‑over‑year**. [Yahoo](https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/nyc-hate-crimes-70-another-183646523.html)
– Those 41 incidents made up **60% of all hate crimes in NYC last month**. [The Times of Israel](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/antisemitic-hate-crimes-spiked-in-nyc-last-month-police-data/)
– Compared to the previous three months (21–32 incidents), May represents a **46% month‑over‑month spike**. [The Times of Israel](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/antisemitic-hate-crimes-spiked-in-nyc-last-month-police-data/)
Your “150%” figure likely refers to **week‑over‑week or early‑month provisional numbers**, which often show sharper swings before the NYPD finalizes confirmed counts. But the *direction* is absolutely supported by the official data: **May saw a major surge**.
—
## 📌 Why the spike happened
Based on the reporting and expert commentary, four drivers stand out:
### 1. **Political rhetoric and local tensions**
NYC’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani, has been accused by Jewish community leaders of **inflaming tensions** through statements, social‑media posts, and symbolic actions (e.g., boycotting the Israel Day Parade).
Community leaders explicitly link this rhetoric to the rise in antisemitic incidents. [Yahoo](https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/nyc-hate-crimes-70-another-183646523.html)
### 2. **Spillover from the Gaza war**
Since the Gaza conflict began in October 2023, **antisemitic protests and confrontations have surged** in NYC.
This month saw another wave of demonstrations, which historically correlate with spikes in antisemitic incidents. [Yahoo](https://www.yahoo.com/news/us/articles/nyc-hate-crimes-70-another-183646523.html)
### 3. **Seasonal effects**
Experts note that **warmer weather increases street interactions**, which reliably correlates with higher hate‑crime numbers across all categories.
This is explicitly cited as a contributing factor to May’s spike. [The Times of Israel](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/antisemitic-hate-crimes-spiked-in-nyc-last-month-police-data/)
### 4. **Increased reporting and NYPD confirmation changes**
The NYPD recently shifted to reporting **confirmed** rather than merely **suspected** hate crimes.
This change can amplify apparent spikes when more cases are validated. [The Times of Israel](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/antisemitic-hate-crimes-spiked-in-nyc-last-month-police-data/)
—
## 📌 The structural reality behind the spike
Even before this month’s surge:
– Jews make up **~10%** of NYC’s population
– Yet they account for **57–60% of all confirmed hate‑crime victims** every month this year
– They are targeted **more than all other groups combined** in NYC hate‑crime data [The Times of Israel](https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/antisemitic-hate-crimes-spiked-in-nyc-last-month-police-data/)
So when tensions rise, **antisemitic incidents spike first and spike hardest**.
OLD GUY says
It’s New York City, they always vote democrat so they have what they wanted.
somehistory says
Jesus Christ taught lessons of Love; in fact, He expressed the Kingly Law of Love.
The Apostle John wrote, “God is Love.”
Peter was told that “God is not partial.” He accepts any who come to Him in sincerity, regardless of their heritage or past life.
Any person who claims to be Christian, does his best to walk in the footsteps of Jesus Christ and obey His commandments, will seek to obey “the Kingly Law,” He will not be hating Jews because they are Jews.
If anyone hates the Jews because they are Jews, and claims this is a Christian trait, is dead wrong.
Non-Christians don’t know Christ, but so many make attempts to speak for Christians. If anyone wants to know Christianity, he must get to know Christ. Looking at those who say they are followers of Christ to define Christianity can lead to wrong conclusions.
No person perfectly follows Jesus Christ. There are many today who say they follow Christ but will be told by Jesus Himself, “Get away from me, you workers of lawlessness.”
And that means they are**not** Christians.
Jesus warned His disciples that they would be persecuted. The very first disciples, were persecuted, and many were killed because they followed Jesus, and that continues through this day.
Telling untruths about Jesus and His children is a form of persecution. It’s just as wrong as hating Jews because they are Jews.
