A 17-year-old student in New York threatened to kill all Jewish people at his school at 2:00 p.m. in an email sent to more than 300 classmates Monday.
The teen allegedly sent the message from a school email account at Renaissance Charter School in Queens, according to QNS. The email stated, “At 2pm we will rise up and kill all the Jews in this school and the city. F* the Jews.”
Police from New York’s 115th Precinct arrived at the school shortly after 12:30 p.m. following a 911 call about a possible bias incident. Officers arrested the student and booked him before 3:30 p.m. He faces charges of making a terroristic threat and aggravated harassment as a hate crime. The New York Police Department (NYPD) Hate Crimes Task Force is investigating.
Officials lifted the lockdown after the NYPD determined it was safe to resume normal operations.
A violent, antisemitic threat made today at Renaissance Charter School is deeply disturbing and unacceptable. Hate and threats of violence have no place in our schools or our community.
I am relieved that no one was harmed and that the student is in custody. This must be fully…

Democratic state Sen. Jessica Ramos said on X that she was “relieved that no one was harmed and that the student is in custody.” The school plans to hold a special assembly featuring a Holocaust survivor.
“We take incidents like this extremely seriously. Hate speech and threats against any community are unacceptable and will not be tolerated at Renaissance,” the school said in a statement. Ramos said the principal told her the incident shocked a community known for its diversity.
The arrest comes as antisemitic hate crimes in New York City have surged. NYPD data released Monday showed anti-Jewish incidents jumped 182% in January 2026 compared to January 2025, according to the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS). The department investigated 31 antisemitic crimes last month versus 11 during the same period a year ago.
“The Jewish community is filled with anxiety and trepidation. We know that it’s open season,” Rabbi Mark Schneier, president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, told NY1.
The spike coincides with Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s first month in office. On his first day in office, Mamdani issued an executive order revoking all of former Mayor Eric Adam’s executive orders issued after Sept. 26, 2024, a sweep that included the city’s adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, Israel Hayom reported.

Without the yellow stars how can he possibly identify them correctly?
After he got out on bail, he was immediately hired by the Mamdani Administration as director of the Department of Cultural Affairs.
They will let him go, probably will become a tool in the new commie organization running NYC.
“We will rise up.”
No, you will be arrested and charged. We will laugh.
The comment at the source says it all. Additionally, who is the kid, who are the parents. friends, relatives, the receivers of his email?
What is causing this level of hatred? Why now? Is it open season on insanity and violence?
I don’t like a lot of people (individuals, mind you, not groups), but I don’t want to kill anybody. I don’t understand this at all.

Arm bands would help, along with a expert scientist to make the identifying call.

Public schools are training up poor, migrant, non-Americans in race-marxism. The future looks ugly.
That is one minor who should have his name made available to the public. He will only get worse as he gets older. If he had been less of a hateful, careless big mouth. he could have hurt someone and remained unidentified.
This young person did not come out of a social, cultural or political vacuum. This is NYC twenty five years after 9/11.

Nice try, but I don’t think that will work.
Sometimes the best way to deal with a bent nail is to yank it out, and throw it away.
My grandad went through that Jew hatred back when he was a kid in NYC public school and it hasn’t change.
This is what all of the insane hatred for Israel creates.
Stupidity.
Yes it would be funny if the 17-year-old student DMA test return shows he is part Jewish.
Wow.
I cannot imagine getting so worked up about anything like that when I was 17.
That is a degree of anger that I just don’t understand.
Was he wearing a bowtie, perchance?
