What happened

Why it matters

A jump like that indicates that both underlying hate and the actual crimes it inspires are skyrocketing, and no wonder — given who last year’s mayoral election.

Common ground

Zohran Mamdani and his political allies have repeatedly signaled that it’s open season on New York’s Jewish population, the largest in America.

Claim 4: “the mayor has explicitly condoned [protests outside synagogues]”

There is no evidence he 'explicitly condoned' them; rather, he is criticized for his response to them.
