The NYPD's hate crime unit is investigating anti-Muslim threats made against New York mayoral candidate and Democratic Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani. The threats, delivered through four voicemails, contained Islamophobic language and were reported on Wednesday. According to the New York Daily News, one of the threats included a man saying he would blow up Mamdani’s car. While no arrests have been made, the investigation is ongoing, and Mamdani’s campaign confirmed his cooperation with police.
In a separate incident in Rocky River, Ohio, U.S. Representative Max Miller said he and his family were "run off the road" by a driver who allegedly waved a Palestinian flag and issued threats. Miller, who is Jewish and supports Israel, labeled the incident antisemitic and reported it to local authorities. The incident drew bipartisan condemnation from congressional leaders.
These cases are the latest in a surge of hate crimes targeting Muslim, Arab, Jewish, Israeli, and Palestinian Americans amid ongoing conflict in Gaza since late 2023. High-profile incidents fueling concern include the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy staff in Washington and a Colorado attack injuring eight at a pro-Israel rally.
Similarly alarming are anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian hate crimes, such as the murder of a 6-year-old Palestinian boy in Illinois, an attempted drowning of a 3-year-old Palestinian American girl in Texas, and violent assaults on pro-Palestinian protesters in California.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams also confirmed the recent arrest of a suspect accused of attacking a Muslim woman on the subway. The individual now faces multiple hate crime charges, including assault and aggravated harassment, highlighting escalating tensions and the urgent need to address rising hate across the U.S.
