Since October 7, 2023, antisemitic hate crimes have risen steeply in New York City, with incidents occurring nearly every day. This month, for example, a man in the Bronx was charged with attempting to kill his Jewish barber over his hatred for Israel, and, last month, a man yelled “Free Palestine” before stabbing a Jewish man on a Brooklyn sidewalk. Anti-Israel protesters have targeted Jewish people, vandalized their homes, and taunted them at a kosher deli about recently murdered American Israeli hostage, Hersh Polin-Goldberg.
