NYC Mayor Eric Adams condemns students' antisemitic display, teacher forced into hiding

New York City Mayor Eric Adams condemned a "vile show of antisemitism" at Hillcrest High School in Queens, where students rioted after learning that a teacher had attended a pro-Israel rally. The incident led to a two-hour shutdown of the school and forced the teacher to hide in a locked office. The students planned a protest after seeing a photo of the teacher holding a sign supporting Israel. Mayor Adams stated that the incident is being investigated, and efforts will be made to educate students about the unacceptability of such behavior. Antisemitic incidents have been on the rise in New York City, with a 214% increase in anti-Jewish incidents compared to the same period last year.

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.
