Jewish/Israeli symbols should be kept to a minimum
On October 7, federal authorities announced they had foiled an alleged mass-shooting plot targeting Minnesota’s Mall of America; court records say the suspect cited its Jewish owners. In September, authorities disclosed an alleged plot by a Pittsburgh-area man to attack synagogues, and a Florida man was arrested after allegedly threatening in videos to "hunt Jews" while displaying firearms. In mid-September, a Jewish man reported being punched near Chicago’s Ogilvie station after being asked if he was Jewish. In New York City, protesters disrupted an October 7 memorial vigil, but police kept groups apart and no violence was reported. These incidents occurred in different areas; stay alert around Jewish institutions and large gatherings and check local updates....

There is antisemitic and anti-israel graffiti all over the place, with a “Heil Hitler” written on a wall in the main corner of the shopping area. The authorities don’t seem to care.

I live in New York City (specifically in Brooklyn) and proudly display my Jewishness, just like hundreds of thousands of us do here. There’s no basis to feel unsafe to the point of hiding your Jewishness.

While visiting, I noticed a red, green and black flag and was immediately alarmed. Later, I was notified that it was the pan-African flag. Other than that, I have felt safe in New York City. I was however shocked to see Ceasefire and Free Palestine flags on Jewish homes in areas such as Park Slope.
