New York City Mayor Eric Adams announced a comprehensive plan to tackle the growing issue of antisemitism on college campuses and within public schools. During an interview, he pointed out the disturbing trend of anti-Jewish and anti-American sentiments being increasingly present in academic environments, emphasizing their interconnectedness. Adams criticized newsletters allegedly distributed by schools that praised Hamas, labeling it as a terrorist organization. He highlighted proactive community engagement strategies, like the 'Breaking Bread, Building Bonds' initiative, aimed at fostering dialogue and combating hate.
"We saw two newsletters that went out that really gave the impression of lifting up Hamas, and what Hamas stands for. Hamas is a terrorist, dangerous organization, and that cannot be tolerated within our public school system."
"It's about being really, not only reactive to the cases that come up, but also proactive. We had over 1,000 dinners in the last few years where people are sitting down and communicating."
