A series of antisemitic incidents occurred in New York City and Miami, highlighting a disturbing rise in hate crimes. In New York City, an individual assaulted a Jewish man wearing a yarmulka on W. 86 St. by throwing glass jars and shouting antisemitic slurs, including 'free Palestine.' Another incident involved a man spitting on an elderly Jewish man and tearing down posters of kidnapped Israelis. The 20 pct. and Manhattan DA’s office have been informed. In Miami, a Jewish-owned business was vandalized, prompting Mayor Francis Suarez and federal judge Roy Altman to assist in the cleanup. Miami-Dade Police have been asked to investigate the vandalism swiftly. These incidents underscore the ongoing threat of antisemitism and the need for community vigilance and support.

Spitting and harassing an elderly Jewish man in New York City, then attacking several others. The NYPD were called several times. They never showed up. https://t.co/0kOSR4BbG8
A coward spits and yells at an elderly Jew in New York City. If you think hate and disgust can be contained, you are dangerously mistaken. Today, it's the Jews. Tomorrow it's you too. https://t.co/wdWlwyaPbM
After Jewish-owned businesses were vandalized by the mob, Miami's mayor and a federal judge came to help with clean up. A big thank you to Mayor @FrancisSuarez and Judge Roy Altman for demonstrating that showing up means to much more than empty statements. via @ariodzernbc6 https://t.co/CXuynunR3P
Scumbag yells "free Palestine" after spitting on old Jewish man in a Jewish neighborhood in New York City. It would have been worse if the Good Samaritans didn't step in to protect the old man. Thank you, Good Samaritans! https://t.co/TMcesux3mx

Hate speech, vandalism, and hostility will never be tolerated @CityofMiami. We will always support these small businesses as they face anti-semitism. https://t.co/iG8iziBVGz
I was horrified to learn about vandalism of a Jewish-owned business this morning. Acts of hate have no place in #OurCounty. I’ve asked @MiamiDadePD to work with Miami police to investigate swiftly. We must ensure accountability while building a more inclusive community for all. https://t.co/uRMBDSXL1M
My office was made aware of a possible antisemitic hate crime on W. 86 St. in which a man wearing a kippah was allegedly physically attacked. I informed the 20 pct. and Manhattan DA’s office and will monitor closely. Acts of antisemitism and bias incidents are a threat to us all.

🚨(UWS) 86 & Amsterdam: This individual assaulted an innocent Jew wearing a yarmulka, throwing glass jars at him while shouting anti Semitic slurs including “free Palestine”. This attack demonstrates how these seemingly innocent chants inevitably causes violence towards Jews. https://t.co/ldTGD0NqCq
