Mamdani releases plan to combat antisemitism and hate crimes in New York City

🚨 MAMDANI UNVEILS ANTISEMITISM PLAN Zohran Mamdani debuted a sweeping plan Tuesday to combat antisemitism and hate crimes against Jewish people in New York City. It includes increased security funding for synagogues and a greater focus on Jewish history in public schools. The strategy also pledges to highlight important Jewish cultural and religious sites in the mayor’s day-to-day governance. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu used part of a UN address last week to assail Mamdani, accusing him of spreading lies about Israel and calling him “the antisemitic mayor of New York.” Source: The Guardian, The Independent, isp.netscape.com #NewYorkCity
