New York Councilwoman Inna Vernikov posted a video showing a group of Muslims praying against the wall of a Jewish girls school, alarming residents as antisemitism in the city skyrockets.
This is an ALL GIRLS Jewish school in my district. I’m all for prayer and free speech, but why do a bunch of GROWN MEN need to do this right outside of a school full of little Jewish girls??? Is not this what MOSQUES are for? Is this intentional? Mayor Mamdani @NYCMayor any words… pic.twitter.com/iFRPnGVblQ
