NYC Jewish leaders call on Mamdani to stop ‘fanning flames of hatred and division’ after UWS stabbings
City Jewish leaders Friday demanded Mayor Zohran Mamdani “stop fanning the flames of hatred and division” after a nut stabbed a religious man in a suspected antisemitic hate crime on the Upper West Side — but Hizzoner offered nothing more than a canned tepid response.
Raul Morales, 51, allegedly yelled “Allahu Akbar!” as he attacked the two victims — Moshe Yezhak Grunhaus, a 50-year-old Jewish man, and Chok Sung, a 57-year-old Asian man — in vicious separate attacks blocks from Central Park and minutes apart Thursday afternoon, police said.
“We’re horrified and heartbroken by yesterday’s attacks. But to be clear, we’re no longer surprised,” said UJA-Federation of New York CEO Eric Goldstein at a press conference Friday.
