Anti-Israeli sentiments skyrocketing in New York City

Anti-Israeli sentiments have escalated in New York City over the past year, including a 69% increase on anti-Jewish assaults, according to NYPD statistics.
 

The trend surged to 113 incidents through the end of June this year, from 67 in the same period of 2020, the New York Post reported. 

Anti- Israeli sentiments, which are often launched by pro-Palestinians, has increased following the 12-day Israeli bombardment of Gaza in May that killed at least 248 Palestinians, including more than 60 children, and destroyed many buildings, including schools, medical centers, and media offices.
