Tensions rise in New York City as a shocking antisemitic assault shakes the mayoral race. On October 29, 2025, a 72-year-old Israeli Jewish educator was brutally attacked in Manhattan’s Upper West Side by a man shouting, “Zohran is right—go back to Israel!”

The incident has drawn national attention, with critics linking the rhetoric of Democratic mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani—who has condemned Israel’s policies and backed the “Globalize the Intifada” slogan—to rising antisemitism. Mamdani condemned the attack as “unacceptable,” urging unity and safety for all New Yorkers.

Jewish and Muslim leaders have since called for calm, while Mayor Eric Adams ordered increased NYPD patrols around Jewish institutions. With just days before the November 4 election, polls show Mamdani leading Andrew Cuomo 48–42%, but Jewish voter sentiment appears to be shifting rapidly.
