New York City’s Jews need more than Mamdani’s security grants



I'm a Jew who lives in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, and nobody on my block can tell. I don't wear a kippah. I don't keep Shabbat. On a Saturday afternoon, I can walk down Eastern Parkway without standing out.

Many of my neighbors don't have that luxury. Their hats, coats, and tzitzit identify them from a block away. Those visible signs of Jewish life also make them targets in a city long considered one of the best places in the world to be Jewish.

New York already publishes hate-crime figures. It should also examine the rhetoric behind those crimes.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani says he wants to protect them. On September 29, he released New York City's first Strategy to Combat Antisemitism. Parts of the plan deserve credit. It directs $1 million to security at vulnerable houses of worship, doubles “hate-prevention” grants to $6.4 million, and expands eighth-grade visits to the Museum of Jewish Heritage. Synagogues struggling to pay for guards, cameras, and locks need the help.

But the 33-page strategy has a glaring blind spot: It never confronts the anti-Semitism that increasingly uses the word "Zionist" as a substitute for "Jew."

The report's concrete examples of anti-Semitic violence are Charlottesville in 2017, the Tree of Life synagogue massacre in 2018, and the Poway synagogue shooting in 2019. All were horrific. None happened in New York City. The document acknowledges that anti-Jewish crime increased after October 7, 2023, but does not examine the role of anti-Zionist agitation in that increase.

According to the Anti-Defamation League, the share of anti-Semitic incidents in New York City involving Israel or Zionism rose from 5% in 2022 to 37% in 2023 and 58% in 2024. Yet the mayor's plan never addresses the relationship between anti-Zionist rhetoric and attacks on Jewish New Yorkers.

It also declines to adopt a definition of anti-Semitism. The city says it can fight hatred "without needing to adopt a definition for this specific form of hate." The report discusses competing definitions, then leaves the decision unresolved. That is convenient when some of the most poisonous language comes from activists on the mayor's side of the political divide.

In Crown Heights, we have heard that language firsthand. Last year, a group called Crown Heights Bites Back distributed free groceries near Utica Avenue and Eastern Parkway. It also distributed flyers warning that "Zionist white supremacists" would "kill us, exploit us, raise our rents and evict us." At a vigil for Gavin Cato, whose 1991 death preceded the Crown Heights riots, masked activists from the group shoved a Jewish man. The group also praised the murder of two Israeli embassy staffers.

The accusation has spread beyond my neighborhood. Nerdeen Kiswani of Within Our Lifetime claimed that “Zionist landlords” exploited black communities to fund settlements in Palestine. Brooklyn Democrat district leader Carmella Charrington compared a family property dispute to Israeli activity in the West Bank, even though the state attorney general’s office had described the underlying matter as an inheritance dispute. In Chelsea, flyers opposing a public-housing redevelopment denounced a “Zionist occupation”; others attacked “Talmudists” and “Rothschilds.” The same reporting documented both sets of accusations.

The housing grievance is especially perverse because Hasidic families struggle with rising costs, too. The borough president’s housing analysis identifies Borough Park and South Williamsburg among Brooklyn’s most rent-burdened neighborhoods. Some young Chabad families have moved to Brownsville because they cannot afford Crown Heights. Some Hasidic developers have grown rich in Brooklyn real estate. So have many others.

But the anger rarely lands on a developer. It lands on the man in the black hat waiting for the bus.

The ADL found that Orthodox Jews were victims in 36 of the city's 69 anti-Semitic assaults in 2024, though they constitute about one-fifth of New York City’s Jews. Mamdani's own report recognizes that visibly Jewish New Yorkers bear a disproportionate share of attacks. It never grapples with the local rhetoric that can turn a neighborhood housing complaint into an accusation against Jews as a group.

The strategy itself warns that anti-Semitism thrives on conspiracy theories that blame Jews for society's troubles. What, then, should the city call the claim that "Zionists" are responsible for a family's rent?

The political difficulty is plain. City Hall rolled out the plan with support from progressive Jewish organizations, including Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, Bend the Arc, and J Street's local chapter. The rent-and-Zionism rhetoric comes from parts of the same political world. Naming it would require Mamdani to criticize allies as well as enemies.

He can do so when he chooses. In December, after an incoming staffer’s old posts about “money hungry Jews” surfaced, he accepted her resignation. When offensive Chelsea flyers appeared, City Hall denounced them.

But when Jewish Insider asked about Charrington, a Democrat district leader elected with progressive backing, the mayor refused to answer three times. His office later condemned her conspiracy rhetoric as anti-Semitic but did not say whether she should remain in party leadership. The condemnation was welcome. The refusal to confront her position was revealing.

City Council Member Eric Dinowitz, an ally who praised the plan’s education and prevention measures, said it missed an opportunity to confront the overlap between anti-Zionism and anti-Semitism. He was right. That omission leaves a serious hole in an otherwise useful effort.

New York already publishes hate-crime figures. It should also examine the rhetoric behind those crimes, including attacks that connect Jewish identity to Israel or blame Jews for housing costs. And the city’s new prevention money should reach Crown Heights, Williamsburg, and Borough Park, where visibly Jewish residents have suffered assaults.

Mamdani should come to Crown Heights and say the words himself: Blaming Hasidic Jews for your rent is anti-Semitism. If he cannot say that much, no 33-page strategy will close the gap between his promises and the lives my neighbors lead.

Terror threat strikes Missouri archdiocese ahead of pre-sainthood Mass for Fulton Sheen



Tens of thousands of Catholics are set to attend the Mass of beatification — the last step before sainthood — for the late Archbishop Fulton Sheen in St. Louis on Thursday.

Roughly a week ahead of the celebration, over which Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle will preside, the Archdiocese of St. Louis was issued a terrorist threat.

'We pray for an end to the hatred.'

According to St. Louis County prosecutor Melissa Price Smith's office, 32-year-old Jeremiah Robinson of St. Genevieve allegedly stated in a TikTok video on Sept. 15 that he was two minutes away from the archdiocese's offices and that "God had instructed him to use no discernment and that 'everyone who walks into that church is guilty and to kill them.'"

Robinson allegedly posted a second video to social media once in the parking lot of the archdiocese offices in St. Louis and turned the camera to show the buildings, evidencing that he was indeed close.

Robinson claimed in the second video that he was instructed "to leave no one breathing," Smith's office alleged.

The Archdiocese of St. Louis did not immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

The FBI National Operation Center brought the videos to the attention of the Shrewsbury, Missouri, Police Department, and the archdiocese offices were promptly evacuated.

After a sweep of the building involving bomb dogs, police determined that the site was safe.

Robinson was slapped on Sept. 16 with a first-degree felony charge of making a terrorist threat and booked into the St. Louis County Justice Center on a $100,000 cash-only bond.

Brecht Mulvihill, the archdiocese's executive director of communications, said in a statement obtained by EWTN News, "First, we wish to extend our gratitude to the law enforcement officers who responded immediately to this incident, especially to the Shrewsbury Police Department."

"The safety and well-being of the men and women who serve the Church are of the utmost importance, and we pray for an end to the hatred and threats of violence that have become so regrettably prevalent on social media," added Mulvihill.

Catholic churches across the country have been repeatedly targeted for arson, vandalism, and violent attacks in recent years.

For instance, a trans-identifying gunman shot up a Catholic church full of children in Minneapolis on Aug. 27, 2025, injuring 17 and killing two children, ages 8 and 10.

In May, a 40-year-old man claiming to be the "chosen one" allegedly shot up Genevieve’s Catholic Church in Las Cruces, New Mexico. Fortunately, no one was injured in the drive-by shooting.

71-year-old woman brutally beaten with aluminum baseball bat after act of kindness to young man



California police are searching for a man in his 20s who allegedly beat an elderly woman with an aluminum baseball bat.

The woman's family says that the 71-year-old had offered to let the young man stay at her home in Crestline in San Bernardino County.

'If it weren't for the neighbors calling the police, my mother would have bled to death alone in her home.'

Therese Garcia had met the man while she sat on her front porch, her daughter said to KNBC-TV.

The 26-year-old man told Garcia that all of his belongings had been stolen while he was camping, and she offered him space at her home. After two weeks, the man started to take over her home, leading Garcia to ask him to leave.

That's when the man got violent, according to Garcia's daughter.

"When she went to sleep that night, she just woke up to him beating her with a metal bat, and that went on for hours," said Abbie Garcia.

"She would lose consciousness and wake up a little bit," she added. "Every time she would wake up a little bit, he would come back and beat her again to the point where she finally lost consciousness fully."

The man stole the woman's keys, phone, and e-bike before fleeing.

Her daughter said that Garcia was found after the neighbors called for a wellness check from police.

"If it weren't for the neighbors calling the police, my mother would have bled to death alone in her home," she said.

The victim suffered injuries that included broken bones, deep lacerations, and a traumatic brain injury, according to her daughter.

The San Bernardino County Sheriff's Office later identified the suspect as Erik Eduardo Navarro of Orange County.

"My mom didn't deserve this," Abbie Garcia added. "She was simply trying to help someone she believed was in need, something she has always done throughout her life. This time, her kindness was met with unimaginable violence."

Trans person brags about hitting children — and says he'd do it again



A recent picnic in the park turned violent when a child allegedly called a transgender-identifying person named Leanne Lawson a name he didn’t like — and he reacted by allegedly hitting the child.

Rather than expressing regret, he doubled down in multiple follow-up TikTok videos, arguing that anyone who uses certain language toward him should expect a violent response.

“So I was just minding my business here in Lewis Park, just having a little picnic, you know, just minding my own business, having a picnic. And then this group of kids came up and started hassling me,” Lawson began in the first video.

“Talking s**t to me, calling me a t*****,” he explained.


“They used words they weren’t supposed to, and I smacked one of them upside the head. And yeah, they didn’t like that,” he added.

In a second video, he continued, saying, “I smacked a couple kids upside the head for saying words they shouldn’t be saying.”

“But I’m going to be honest with you: It wouldn’t have mattered if they were kids. Anybody talks to me like that now, and I’m going to react like that. Any person that starts using language that requires me to justify my existence for just sitting there, eating some charcuterie in the f**king park,” he said.

“I’m going to smack them upside the head,” he added.

“Sir … are you denying that you are a t*****?” BlazeTV host Sara Gonzales comments.

“You’re not fooling anyone,” she adds.

Lawson even posted a follow-up video, explaining that the “kid's mom came up and apologized” to him.

“This kid’s mom came up and like, ‘I’m so sorry about my son,’ and I was just like, ‘Yo, your son better not talk crazy like that or he’s going to get his head knocked off.’ Like, I didn’t lie about what I did,” he said.

“Who could have predicted that maybe trans and mentally ill people could be violent, right?” Gonzales asks. “Like, boy, we’ve never seen that happen before.”

Shocking study: Marijuana use in men DOUBLES the risk of miscarriage



Marijuana has long been portrayed through film and television as a relatively harmless substance associated with relaxation, laughter, and the “munchies.”

But BlazeTV host Liz Wheeler says the scientific evidence tells a much darker story, and Alex Berenson’s book “Tell Your Children: The Truth About Marijuana, Mental Illness, and Violence” is what ultimately changed her mind.

“Alex Berenson changed my mind on marijuana almost single-handedly,” Wheeler says, before pointing to a study on the drug.

“A recent study shows that if a man uses marijuana, then — even once a week, if he smokes marijuana — then his wife is twice as likely to miscarry. So, even if the woman, the mother, never uses pot and the man smokes once a week, his wife is twice as likely to miscarry,” Wheeler says.


As devastating as that is, it’s not all marijuana is linked to. The drug is also known to cause psychosis, schizophrenia, and violence.

But most people have no idea.

“The reason that most people think of pot and they think chill and munchies is because of that propaganda that I mentioned that was paid for by this humongous marijuana lobby who obviously stood to profit enormous amounts of money if they were able to farm marijuana,” she explains.

“They first, you know, tried to normalize it by making it a medicinal thing, medical marijuana, and then once it was kind of normalized as medicinal, which obviously had a positive connotation in people’s minds, their goal was actually just recreational legalization,” she says.

And in Colorado, where marijuana was legalized recreationally, Wheeler explains that crimes, car crashes, and ER visits are up.

“I would argue that it’s a net negative to society. It’s certainly a net negative to this channel. It causes me to lose subscribers any time I mention this,” she adds.

And anecdotally, Berenson’s wife worked in medical care and would “come home and tell him about these psychotic patients that she had and how there was always a connection to marijuana.”

“He scoffed at her. He said that is ridiculous. Like, marijuana is not tied to psychosis. It’s not tied to mental health. It’s not tied to violence. It’s like, you just smoke it, and then you get hungry. And so he tried to prove her wrong,” Wheeler explains.

But when he started researching it, he was shocked by what he found.

“And when he started researching it, that’s when he began to put the book together because he found that the actual research contradicts the narratives that we’re all pretty familiar with around marijuana,” she says.

“What Berenson actually found in the scientific literature was that it does ... lead to psychosis and schizophrenia and ultimately violence, particularly violence committed by men against women,” she continues.

“I don’t think my position is extreme, that if it’s a dangerous drug that leads to these things, if it’s a net negative to society, then yes, we should ban it,” she adds.

The Real Threats Against SCOTUS Are Not ‘Bipartisan.’ They’re Coming From The Left

While the court would love to keep the blame for the rise in political attacks off the left, the evidence makes it clear that political violence is not merely a 'both sides' issue.
