NEW YORK (JNS) – The U.S. and Israeli war against the Iranian terror regime, which has orchestrated and abetted numerous attacks on civilians in America, the Jewish state and elsewhere, is getting in the way of New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s efforts to fight hatred of Jews and Muslims in the empire state.

Marcia Kramer, of CBS 2, asked the Democratic governor if the war in Iran is “exacerbating what’s going on” and making it harder for her to deal with Islamophobia and antisemitism.
“Yes, it is. Yes, it is. Both problems. One is, apparently the attacker in Michigan. I just communicated with my friend, Gretchen Whitmer, the governor there,” Hochul said. “Was supposedly inspired because he had brothers that were killed in the war. They’re members of Hezbollah, which is a terrorist organization that we are concerned about even in North America here. I will say that.”
“I get intelligence briefings all the time and we’re deeply concerned about individuals who are here trying to do harm to all of us,” she said. “So, it is making it difficult, because that has heated up the passions around this, and also on the affordability challenges. Gasoline prices are through the roof, and even if you don’t own a car, you’re paying for the higher cost of goods being transported to your grocery store.”
“There’s a ripple effect of everything and none of it is good,” she added.
Hochul also told CBS 2 that Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.), who posted an image of Zohran Mamdani, the New York City mayor, sitting on a prayer rug alongside an image of the 9/11 attacks, and people like he “should not be in public life.”
“In fact, they are the lowest of the low,” she said. “I reject any kind of notion that it’s okay in public discourse or even in your own house to, not just harbor that hate, but to share it with others and to be part of a problem that we’re trying to deal with.”
“The rise in Islamophobia and antisemitism is off the charts,” she said.
Stop whining and do something about it.
Hochul is the classic status quo governor. They just manage what they were handed. They don’t provide solutions or improvements.
This evil evil woman just blamed the Jews for the war in Iran
What a filthy treasonous criminally insane rabies infected bitch
This two legged vermin, needs to be vomited out of office, the sooner the better.
When is the last time a Jew attacked a Muslim in the USA?
To compare the 2 is outrageous
Islamophobia, yes, that’s the issue
So far she’s done a lot more than the war to cause hatred to Jews
When’s the last time a mosque got attacked in America. When’s the last time a Muslim boy got a rock thrown at him. Absolute absurdity to even think such a thing exists here
Mamdani will be a huge factor in causing many New Yorkers to move to Eretz Yisroel.
She never ceases to surprise me. This guv purports to be pro-Israel, yet she can be found reliable to do everything possible to bolster the power of terror loving people. It is a rare event for attacxks to be caused by Islamophobia. In fact, by labeling it a phobia, we are addressing the cognitive process, and that falls outside of government or the law. No one can tell me how to think or feel. And if I feel unsafe inb the presence of Islamists, that is my right, both moral and Constitutional. It doesn;t become relavant to the law until I act upon it. I haven’t a care whether gentiles like or hate Jews. What matters is that no one acts to harm a Jew.
Firstly, invoking Islamophobia inthe same sentence as anti-Semitism is misleading, and a vain effort to cast blame, not solve a problem. Second, The rise in anti-Semitism is actually fueled and preached by celebrities, media, and politicians from the Left. As a Jew, I expect no special treatment. Just do not deny me the rights I have, safety, etc. Don’t love me, don’t worship me, just don’t hurt me.
One more glaring truth that these Leftists will brazenly deny. When Israel acts, it does so with precision, targeting only the enemy, not civilians. Collateral damage is minimized, and no one in world history has done that better than Israel, not even US. Contrast that with Iranian terror, including Hamas, Hezbollah, and the rest of the thugs. They aim at civilians. The only problem with this Iran war is that it should have been intiated many years ago. No negotiation with terror.
Since when do Muslims in NY get attacked? This sick woman supported a proJihadi NYC Mayor, THAT’S WHAT MAKES IT HARDER!
She is a phony; who is linking the attack in Michigan, on the IDF killing a commando from Hezbollah, who is related to the perpetrator in Michigan.
It must be so inconvenient for her. Chaval.
