US EditionAfter protest at synagogue, Mamdani says Israel immigration event misused ‘sacred space’
Pro-Palestinian chants at a synagogue protest drew condemnation from NY leaders amid a 56% rise in antisemitic hate crimes citywide, officials said.
- Hundreds of anti-Israel protesters gathered outside Park East Synagogue in New York, chanting violent slogans such as 'Death to the IDF' and 'Globalize the intifada' as part of a response to a Zionist event hosted by Nefesh B'nefesh.
- Columbia University anti-Israel groups, including CUAD, promoted the protest organized by the anti-Zionist group Pal-Awda, although Columbia stated it does not recognize CUAD or support its activities.

- Attendees of the synagogue expressed alarm about the incident, drawing parallels to the horrors of Kristallnacht, with local leaders warning of a growing climate of antisemitism in New York City.
