The Jewish community in New York was devastated by the surprise attacks that took place in Israel on Oct. 7. With over 1.3 million Jewish residents, New York City has the largest Jewish population outside of Israel. As the Israel-Hamas war continues, the rise in hate crimes and antisemitism has had a profound impact on the community. The fallout from the conflict in Gaza has also played a part in key congressional battles and the race for president.
Jacob Kornbluh is the senior political reporter at The Forward. He joined NY1’s Errol Louis to discuss how Jewish New Yorkers have become re-engaged in politics, what’s next for Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the pro-Palestinian campus protests and why two-term incumbent Jamaal Bowman lost to George Latimer in a congressional primary last month.
