Teachers at a New York City high school said Monday that they don't feel safe in the aftermath of an anti-Semitic riot that broke out at the school. Faculty told New York City Schools chancellor David Banks in a closed-door meeting that they were concerned for their well-being after students rioted in the hallways of Hillcrest High School in Queens on Nov. 20, an unnamed source told the New York Post. The riot broke out after students learned that a Jewish teacher at the school had attended a pro-Israel rally...

A New York City high school has fallen into the spotlight after 400 students ran and jumped through the halls waving Palestinian flags and calling for the removal of a Jewish teacher who shared her pro-Israel stance on social media. Now officials are seeking to turn the fallout into a "teachable moment," NYC Schools Chancellor David Banks said Monday. Videos of the protest on Nov. 20 at Hillcrest High School, which teaches about 2,500 students in Jamaica, Queens, circulated online showing hordes of students running in the halls, dancing and...

New York City Schools Chancellor David Banks on Monday staunchly denied allegations that the approximately 400 students who swarmed the halls of Hillcrest High School last week demanding the ouster of a Jewish teacher who supports Israel had been in any way "radicalized." "This is a really good school with wonderful young people. And I’m so taken aback by this notion that these kids are terrorists … or radicalized. Even that kind of language is just terrible, and it’s irresponsible," Banks said at a press conference, confirming that some students...

Students at a high school in Queens, New York, banded together in protest against a teacher who allegedly attended a pro-Israel rally. Hundreds of Hillcrest High School students protested for over two hours, causing the educator to lock herself in her classroom, the New York Post reports. The New York Police Department alleges that they were “requested” in “response of the school sergeant in regard to a disorderly group of students inside of the location.” The incident took place on Nov. 20, in response to claims that the teacher attended...

Hundreds of students rampaged through the halls of a New York high school for around two hours after learning a Jewish teacher attended a pro-Israel rally, vandalizing school property and forcing the faculty member to take refuge in a locked office. The planned protest occurred last week at Hillcrest High School after a photo surfaced on Facebook of the unnamed teacher attending the rally on Oct. 9 and holding a sign that read “I stand with Israel.” The pro-Israel rally took place two days after the Hamas terrorist group’s surprise...

I can’t imagine what it must be like to know that many of your neighbors think you should be dead, but since 10/7 we have learned that antisemitism in certain communities is common and can bubble to the surface rapidly. What is striking about this 21st-century outbreak is how concentrated it is in the young. We might expect that people who immigrated from regions where hostility between Jews and Muslims is common would feel freer to express their disdain for Jews, but the vicious outbreaks of hate on college campuses...

A pro-Israel teacher reportedly was forced to lock herself in a school office after hundreds of Palestinian-supporting students caused an anti-Semitic riot at a high school in New York City.

Students at the Hillcrest High School in Jamaica – where the teacher is employed – reportedly found out that the instructor participated in the pro-Israel demonstration. Someone purportedly found the teacher’s Facebook profile that had a photo of the instructor at a pro-Israel rally in Queens holding a sign that read: “I stand with Israel.”

Back in October, we discussed how pro-terrorist students were taking over high schools. The Bay Area is not a shock. It’s a far-left bastion, and these folks have become the most virulent anti-Israel voices in the country. What has some people unnerved is how New York has become a haven for antisemitism and pro-Hamas advocacy. I would expect swastikas from this pro-terrorist crowd in California, not New York. And these antisemites have become more aggressive in recent weeks. First, someone tell these morons that there is a ceasefire in effect...

A Queens high school in New York City became the site of violent, anti-Semitic rage last week, and it all appeared to be singularly aimed at a longtime teacher who had been seen on Facebook publicly showing support for Israel. Hillcrest High School in the Jamaica neighborhood erupted on Monday at about 11 a.m., as a mob of teens rampaged through the school’s halls, according to the New York Post. The Post labeled the teens involved as “radicalized.” The Post said the unrest involved hundreds of teens who ran wild...

A Jewish high school teacher in Queens was terrorized by a mob of left-wing students who reacted with outrage after she attended a pro-Israel rally last weekend, a terrifying incident that left her badly shaken. The target of the “radicalized” kids was forced to hide for over two hours in a locked office as the halls at Hillcrest High School were taken over by hundreds of young people incensed over her posting of support for the Jewish democracy to her Facebook page. The students chanted slogans and waved Palestinian flags...
