New York City Mayor Eric Adams called out both celebrities and professional athletes, claiming they have contributed to the rise of antisemitism and hate in the U.S.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams took aim at celebrities who 'spew out' antisemitism during a speech at the city's largest synagogue. 'Far too many sports figures and entertainers are using these new terminologies of credible messengers and influencers to spew out hateful thinking in general, but specifically antisemitism,' Adams said during his speech at the Temple Emanu-El Shabbat services Friday.
The report came after the 2021 version set new highs for antisemitic incidents, with he authors noting that '2022 did not mark a reversal of the trend, and in some countries, most alarmingly the United States, it intensified.' During his speech, Adams called on celebrities to use their influence to reverse the seemingly growing trend.
