NYC Mayor Adams calls out 'anti-Jewish' and 'anti-American' hate on college campuses

Adams also addressed the issue of rising antisemitism in New York City public schools, referring to two newsletters allegedly distributed by public schools that glorified the Hamas terrorist organization.

"We saw two newsletters that went out that really gave the impression of lifting up Hamas, and what Hamas stands for," Adams told anchor Wolf Blitzer. "Hamas is a terrorist, dangerous organization, and that cannot be tolerated within our public school system."

"We had over 1,000 dinners in the last few years where people are sitting down and communicating with each other and then looking at information that's been printed, that's sent out to any agencies within the city that is having any form of procurement contracts with entities that are dealing with hate or antisemitism," Adams said. "It's about being really, not only reactive to the cases that come up, but also proactive."

"Well, think about it, Wolf," Adams replied. "We had last year over 3,000 protests that came after the October 7 attacks, 3,000 people were able to voice their concerns, exercise their right to free speech."

Adams continued, "This city, when you look at the various protests, exercising of free speech, people giving their views with 8.5 million people, we do it in an orderly fashion. We allow people to do so. You can look at the marches that have occurred in this city because that's what we believe in. This is a city with free speech, which is crucial and important."
