A Brooklyn youth organizer, Iman Abdul, was arrested for allegedly inciting violence by encouraging her social media followers to attack a public high school. Her post included a map of Leon M. Goldstein High School in Manhattan Beach, implying that it was a target due to its Jewish student body. The NYPD charged her with making a terroristic threat, aggravated harassment, and additional counts. Jewish advocates expressed outrage over the threat, calling it a dangerous escalation of antisemitism in city schools.
"If anyone needs a public school in NYC to attack for whatever reason ... Lexus driving Israhell (sic) loving Zionisits (sic) all attend here," the since-deleted post read.
"A map. A pin. A call to harm Jews, fellow New Yorkers, children, teachers. This isn't just dangerous. It's evil. Jew-hatred doesn't stop with a threat. It escalates. We need immediate and unequivocal action," Tova Plaut, a DOE pre-K staffer and Jewish activist, told The Post.
