US EditionAfter protest at synagogue, Mamdani says Israel immigration event misused ‘sacred space’
Pro-Palestinian chants at a Jewish immigration event included violent rhetoric; city leaders condemned the protest amid a rise in antisemitic hate crimes, accounting for 55.69% of incidents, officials said.
- Pro-Palestinian activists protested outside Park East Synagogue during an event promoting Jewish immigration to Israel, with chants such as 'Death to the IDF' and 'Globalize the intifada', as reported by The Algemeiner.
- Demonstrators labeled the event a 'settler recruiting fair', with at least two anti-Israel student groups, CUAD and Students for a Democratic Society, involved in the protest on social media.
- Mayor-Elect Zohran Mamdani's office described the protest as inappropriate, emphasizing that sacred spaces should not be used for activities in violation of international law, according to spokesperson Dora Pekec.
- The U.S. Department of Justice has opened a federal investigation into the protest, which has been condemned by various political leaders as antisemitic and a threat to the Jewish community.
