Despicable news. NYC’s @TheNewSchool student senate has voted to suspend Hillel’s funding & collaboration. Hillel is the center of Jewish life on campus. Not a word, of course, from NYC’s “antisemitism czar” @phylisajoy who appears to be on a perpetual “listening tour” serving as Mamdani’s official token Jew.

Last night, Israeli forces intercepted and boarded a humanitarian aid flotilla bound for Gaza in international waters off the coast of Greece — unlawfully detaining more than 175 people, including several New Yorkers. My team has been in direct contact with State and Federal partners as we work to confirm the whereabouts and conditions of these New Yorkers. This is a brazen violation of international law. Those detained must be released.

We're deeply disappointed by Mayor Mamdani’s decision to veto Intro 175, legislation that would require clear safety plans around schools. Our statement with @JCRCNY, @ADL_NYNJ, @AJCGlobal, @OrthodoxUnion, @Teach_NYS, @RabbiAssembly, @StandWithUs, @Conf_of_Pres & @URJorg.
