NYC Synagogue Protest Condemned as Schumer Plans Anti-Hate Resolution

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani discourages the protest language, saying houses of worship must not host activities he views as violating international law.

Overview

Demonstrators outside Park East Synagogue chanted “Death to the IDF” and “Intifada revolution” during an event hosted by Nefesh B’Nefesh.
Mayor Eric Adams called the incident “totally unacceptable” and said he will visit the synagogue.
Gov. Kathy Hochul labeled the episode “shameful,” and Rep. Ritchie Torres said invoking “intifada” is incitement to violence against Jews.
A spokesperson for Mamdani said he discourages the rhetoric and emphasized free, intimidation-free access to houses of worship.
Sen. Chuck Schumer said he plans a Senate resolution condemning Nick Fuentes, Tucker Carlson’s platforming of hate, and antisemitism and white supremacy, as President Trump hosted recently released Israeli hostages and prepares to meet Mamdani at the White House.
