New York City mayoral candidate Scott Stringer has unveiled a proposal to partner with the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) in utilizing advanced technology to monitor social media platforms for potential antisemitic threats. the New York Post reported. The initiative aims to identify and prevent violent incidents before they occur, particularly during periods of heightened international tensions involving Israel or Jewish institutions.

Speaking at Congregation Kehilath Jeshurun on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Stringer emphasized the importance of proactive measures in safeguarding the Jewish community. He highlighted that Jewish New Yorkers, who comprise approximately 10% of the city's population, have been the targets of over 62% of hate crimes in early 2025.

The proposed plan involves collaboration with the ADL's Hate, Extremism, Antisemitism, and Terrorism (H.E.A.T.) Map, an interactive tool that tracks incidents of hate and extremism across the United States. The initiative would be overseen by the New York Police Department (NYPD) and the Office of Emergency Management, focusing solely on detecting credible threats without infringing on free speech or creating surveillance databases.

Stringer underscored the urgency of addressing the surge in antisemitic incidents, noting that online hate often escalates into real-world violence against Jewish individuals and institutions. He stated, "The hate might start online, but it doesn't stay there."

Scott stringer needs to immediately pull out and support Cuomo, or New York will have an anti-semitic mayor.

He needs to retire from public life on the grounds that he’s a moron. Oh, wait.

A fine line is walked with any ethnic group. If you just disagree on an issue, a vote, a decision, a plan, a law, a decree from a personal conversation to a local town meeting, a comment in a group, on tape, on video, or on the internet on topics that have no direct relationship to WHAT YOU ARE they will make sure you fall right into thier web of antisemitism and or racism and shut you down. Not healthy
