The Irvington, N.Y. mayor, board and police chief decried “strongly” what they said was an “antisemitic message written in the Metro-North train station tunnel, a space used daily by our residents and commuters.”

“We unequivocally denounce this hateful act in the strongest possible terms and want our Jewish community and all residents to know that we take this matter with the utmost seriousness,” village officials said. “Antisemitism will not be tolerated in Irvington.”

The officials said that the village’s trustees have contacted local Jewish groups.

The tunnel falls under the jurisdiction of MTA police, the officials said.

“The Democratic Party has changed,” David Wecht said. “Hateful anti-Jewish invective and actions are minimized, ignored and even coddled.”
The opinion piece, written by columnist Nicholas Kristof, parroted “cartoonishly evil Hamas propaganda that would make Goebbels blush,” Eitan Fischberger, a Middle East analyst, stated.
The state initially said that it is giving its 2025 Montana Exporter of the Year Award to a company that exports "$5.4 million worth of products to Canada, Egypt, European Union, Japan, Kuwait, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, South Korea, United Kingdom and United Arab Emirates.”
A new documentary by Abner Benaim is a personal project that takes viewers to the terrorist attack against Alas Chiricanas Flight #901 and explores the aftermath on the families of the victims, including Benaim himself.
The department “will continue to deprive the regime of funding for its weapons programs, terrorist proxies and nuclear ambitions,” the U.S. treasury secretary said.
“This is yet another hateful incident meant to intimidate Jewish New Yorkers and divide our city,” New York City officials stated after swastikas were discovered in Highland Park and Forest Park.
