ADL blasts Mamdani's antisemitism plan
Anti-Defamation League criticizes New York City mayor's newly unveiled strategy to combat antisemitism, citing lack of formal definition and accusing him of prioritizing his 'anti-Israel agenda.'
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani unveiled a municipal strategy on Tuesday aimed at combating antisemitism in the United States, marking the first such initiative in the country. The strategy includes investments in hate-crime prevention, security coordination, and support for Jewish cultural institutions, following Mamdani's decision to revoke several executive orders issued by his predecessor, Eric Adams.
These orders, which included measures concerning antisemitism and boycotts of Israel, were reversed by Mamdani, who emphasized the growing issue of antisemitism in the city, with Jewish residents accounting for approximately 12% of the population and antisemitic incidents representing more than half of confirmed hate crimes.
