A graffiti message reading “Kill a Jew, go to heaven” was found over the weekend on a bike trail in New York City’s Riverside Park.
The sprayed sentence was discovered on a large stone along the trail between 97th Street and 105th Street, located on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, a major hub of the Jewish community.
The Combat Antisemitism Movement, a global coalition of pro-Jewish groups, tweeted that it was “a direct public call for violence against Jews.”
The nonprofit added, “Last month alone, 28 antisemitic incidents were reported in New York.”
U.S.-based organization StopAntisemitism also responded to the incident, lamenting “this level of open hatred” in a city that was once a “safe haven for Jewish life.”
The NYPD and the New York City Parks Department have opened an inquiry into the incident. No suspects were arrested. JNS
Mayor Mamdani is doing a terrific job keeping all the taxpaying Jews in his City safe.
Ask the mayor if he agrees. It’s unbelievable how little common sense and how cowardly people are to act normal and speak out against simple normal behavior. It’s funny actually to hear people even talk about it. Oh he was such a quiet and nice person – oh he chain sawed his entire family last night – oh but he’s such a nice man…. Idiots
