JCRC-NY Condemns Antisemitic Rally in Kew Gardens Hills, Queens

What demonstrators chanted last night in Kew Gardens Hills was blatant antisemitism on full display. Proclaiming support for Hamas in a predominantly Jewish neighborhood —just weeks after the antisemitic demonstration at Park East Synagogue—serves only to instill fear in Jewish New Yorkers.

Hatred targeting our Jewish communities has no place in the diverse, vibrant city we all call home, where everyone should be safe and able to live their lives with dignity.

Thank you to our brave NYPD officers and important partners from CSI, a joint security initiative with our partner, UJA-Federation of NY, for their critical work and service.
