Mamdani antisemitism plan disregards anti-Zionism, leaving Jewish groups unsatisfied

New York City has launched an initiative to tackle antisemitism, which includes education and public messaging. However, some Jewish groups are unsatisfied with the plan, according to The Times of Israel.

The city's plan highlights white supremacist violence against Jews but does not mention the Jewish connection to Israel or address anti-Zionism.

Mayor Eric Adams' administration noted that Jewish New Yorkers make up only 12% of the population but are victims of roughly half of all reported hate crimes, as cited in a report by the National Post.
