Mayor Condemns Hillcrest High School 'Riot' Amid Pro-Israel Teacher Controversy

New York Mayor Eric Adams has condemned the "vile show of antisemitism" that occurred at Hillcrest High School in Queens, where a Jewish teacher had to hide in a locked office as pro-Palestinian students rampaged through the school. The demonstration was sparked by the teacher sharing a photo of herself at a pro-Israeli demonstration on social media. The incident resulted in the arrest of an 18-year-old for allegedly posting threats. Mayor Adams emphasized that such hatred will not be tolerated in any of the city's schools. The NYPD's counterterrorism bureau is investigating potential threats arising from the incident.
