Julie Menin’s solid plan to fight mushrooming Jew-hate in New York

New York prides itself on tolerance and multiculturalism, but Jews are not feeling the love. So give City Council Speaker Julie Menin two cheers — maybe even 2½ — for her solid plan to tackle antisemitism.

In 2025, antisemitic incidents accounted for 57% of all reported hate crimes in New York City — even though Jews make up barely 10% of the population.

This January, antisemitic attacks soared 182% compared with a year ago.

Jewish New Yorkers are targeted more than every other group combined.

So, with Zohran Mamdani as mayor — and his winking and nodding at Jew-haters — many Jews are mulling moves to warmer, friendlier environments.

Add the heightened risks to New Yorkers’ safety from supporters of Iran’s deposed regime, and Menin’s Five-Point Action Plan comes at just the right time.

Four of its points are genuinely excellent. If the plan follows through on its promises, it could protect Jews for real — or more accurately, allow them to protect themselves.

Start with Point 2: a pair of bills to establish buffer zones around the entrances and exits of schools and houses of worship.
