On Sunday, we gathered to stand united against Jew-hatred, demand public safety, and respond to the latest violent attack amid a disturbing rise in antisemitic violence across New York City.

Waving American flags, we called on public officials to confront Jew-hatred with the seriousness and urgency it demands. Speakers warned that inflammatory rhetoric, growing hostility toward Jews, and the failure to hold extremists accountable have contributed to an increasingly dangerous environment.

Jew-hatred is not politics—it is hate. Violence targeting Jews must never be justified, minimized, or ignored. We must stand together to reject antisemitism, defend the safety and civil rights of the Jewish community, and ensure that every New Yorker can live free from fear.

Action Doesn't Stop on the Street

We are calling on Governor Kathy Hochul to open an investigation and commence removal proceedings against Mayor Zohran Mamdani under Section 9 of the New York City Charter.

On July 23, two men were stabbed just four minutes and two blocks apart on the Upper West Side. One victim, Moshe Grunhaus, was attacked while walking home from synagogue. The suspect reportedly shouted "Allahu Akbar" during the attacks.

Mayor Mamdani has been repeatedly made aware of the Jewish community's concerns about rising antisemitism, public safety, and the consequences of rhetoric that many believe has contributed to an increasingly hostile environment. Yet New Yorkers continue to ask where the leadership is.

The fight against Jew-hatred does not end when a rally concludes. It continues through civic action, public accountability, and refusing to remain silent when elected officials fail to protect the communities they serve.

Sign the petition urging Governor Hochul to investigate Mayor Mamdani and determine whether removal proceedings are warranted.

NY assemblyman calls for DOJ to investigate Mamdani, protect Jewish New Yorkers after stabbing attacks

Stephan Sorace / July 27, 2026

A New York State assemblyman called on the U.S. Department of Justice to open a civil rights investigation into New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani following a pair of stabbings on Manhattan’s Upper West Side that are being looked at as potential hate crimes.

New York State Assemblyman Michael Novakhov, who represents District 45 in Brooklyn, called for action during an End Jew Hatred rally in New York City on Sunday.

"If the DOJ stepped in to protect Jewish students at Columbia, it must now step in to protect Jewish New Yorkers," Novakhov wrote in a post on Instagram with video of the announcement, referencing a federal probe into alleged antisemitism at the university.

Mamdani plans to go to 9/11 ceremony despite petition from family of victim calling for mayor to be excluded

Spencer Gustafson / July 26, 2026

Jewish New Yorkers called out Mayor Zohran Mamdani and what they believe to be antisemitic rhetoric coming from the voice of New York City.

The group EndJewHatred rallied on the Upper West Side Sunday just days after two men, one Asian and one Jewish, were stabbed in an alleged hate crime attack.

“We’re here because Mayor Mamdani has blood on his hands,” EndJewHatred director Michelle Ahdoot shouted to a large crowd.

The man accused of the alleged hate crime is said to have yelled “Allahu Akbar” after the separate stabbings of the 57- and 50-year-olds, according to the NYPD.

Blakeman, Jewish Leaders Slam Mamdani at NYC Rally for Fueling Antisemitism Before UWS Hate Crime Stabbing

Jewish leaders and New York gubernatorial candidate Bruce Blakeman blasted Mayor Zohran Mamdani for fueling antisemitism and creating a climate that led a madman to stab a Jewish New Yorker and another victim during a rally in Manhattan Sunday.

The “United Against Hate” rally organized by #EndJewHatred took place around the corner from where madman Raul Morales screamed “Allahu Akbar” while allegedly stabbing a 50-year-old Jewish man, Moshe Yezhak Grunhaus, outside his synagogue at Amsterdam Avenue and West 86th Street on Thursday.

Morales also stabbed Chok Sung, a 57-year-old Asian man — in a separate attack near West 84th Street and Central Park West the same day.

Hundreds rally in New York City to condemn Mamdani after stabbing attacks

Alex Carson / July 27, 2026

Hundreds of demonstrators and community leaders converged on New York City’s Upper West Side on Sunday for a “United Against Hate” rally organized by the #EndJewHatred movement. The protest targeted New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, holding city leadership accountable for rising crime and accusing the administration of fostering a dangerous climate for minority communities.

The demonstration was organized in the wake of two violent stabbing attacks that occurred days earlier on Thursday afternoon on the Upper West Side. The suspect, identified by police as 51-year-old Raul Morales, allegedly shouted “Allahu Akbar” while targeting two separate victims blocks apart: 50-year-old Moshe Yezhak Grunhaus, a Jewish man stabbed outside his synagogue near Amsterdam Avenue and West 86th Street, and Chok Sung, a 57-year-old Asian man stabbed near West 84th Street and Central Park West.

Upper West Side residents rally, demanding action, after double hate-crime stabbings

Dean Moses / July 26, 2026

Upper West Side residents took to the streets in anger Sunday over recent hate crime stabbings in the area, charging that rhetoric from Mayor Zohran Mamdani contributed to the violence.

Members of the Jewish community and conservative activist groups — including those seeking public office — gathered together on Amsterdam Avenue between 84th and 85th Street for several hours on the morning of July 26. Wrapping themselves in the American and Israeli flags, locals say they have been left in fear following Thursday’s attacks.

A local mother who gave her name as Dina told amNewYork that she doesn’t want her daughter wearing her Star of David necklace when she is alone out of fear she will be attacked.
