Swastikas were found vandalized on a Brooklyn Jewish school just a day after Zohran Mamdani, a prominent critic of Israel, was elected as New York City's next mayor. The incident has sparked renewed debate over antisemitism in the city, with political leaders and Jewish organizations expressing concern and demanding strong condemnation. Mamdani, who has faced criticism for his anti-Israel rhetoric, denounced the graffiti as a 'disgusting and heartbreaking act of antisemitism' and pledged to protect all New Yorkers, including the Jewish community. Jewish groups have vowed to closely monitor Mamdani's administration, while tensions remain high amid a surge in antisemitic incidents across the city.
