“Anti-Semitism and anti-Israel rhetoric is becoming dangerously mainstream. We must now act to spread this sleazy hatred, expose and fight this sleazy hatred,” Pfluger said.

According to aides to the Homeland Security Committee, the Roundtable focuses on inter-ministerial coordination, intelligence sharing, training and improvements to better prevent and respond to anti-Semitic violence.

Anti-Semitic violence reached a new high in 2024, according to the Prevention League.

The group documented 9,354 anti-Semitic cases of harassment, assault and vandalism in the United States in 2024. This is a 5% increase from the 8,873 incidents recorded in 2023, up 344% over the past five years. Similarly, the number of incidents is the highest the group has recorded since 1979, when the group first began tracking these cases.

The 2024 anti-Semitic violence case was the highest in New York, where Mamdani is now a state legislator.

Mamdani attracted scrutiny from Democrats because he did not initially condemn the term “globalization the intifada,” a phrase used to support Palestinian resistance to Israel. But he has since said he will not use the term and discourage others from using it either.

Still, concern remains as to what his potential leadership as mayor means for the Jewish community in New York City. According to the UJA-federation in New York, in 2023, approximately 1.4 million people in the Greater New York region were identified as Jews.

“If this guy becomes mayor, there is a lot of fear in the Jewish community,” New York City Republican Councillor Inna Vernikov told Fox News Digital.

“This is someone who wants to globalize Intifadas,” Vernikov said. “I’ve never seen anything close to this in New York City. There’s the largest Jewish population in America. Jews are planning to flee New York City, and they say they’re making a lot of contributions to the city and the country.
