NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani and Gov. Kathy Hochul condemn swastikas and antisemitic graffiti on Jewish school buses in Brooklyn, demanding accountability.

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani and New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Monday denounced the vandalism of four school buses serving Jewish schools in Brooklyn, after the vehicles were found covered with swastikas and antisemitic graffiti.

"The antisemitic vandalism targeting school buses in South Williamsburg is abhorrent. Every New Yorker - especially our children - deserves to live free of such hatred," Mamdani said in a statement.

"My team is in contact with the NYPD and community leaders. We will continue to use every tool at our disposal to confront antisemitism, hold those responsible accountable and ensure that hatred has no place in our city," he added.

Hochul also condemned the incident, emphasizing the impact of antisemitic intimidation on Jewish children and their families.
