Fetterman Warns Democrats of Rising Antisemitism After 2 NYC Synagogue Clashes

  • John Fetterman said the Democratic Party must confront a "rising antisemitism problem" after two recent clashes outside New York City synagogues, including a Monday night protest in Brooklyn.
  • Three arrests were reported near Young Israel Senior Services of Midwood, where protesters opposing an Israeli real-estate event shouted antisemitic slogans, displayed Hezbollah and Hamas-linked symbols, and clashed with police.
  • Fetterman’s warning followed Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justice David Wecht’s decision to leave the Democratic Party, saying leaders had grown too tolerant of anti-Jewish hatred, including intimidation and attacks at synagogues.
  • The episode deepens Fetterman’s public break with parts of his party over Israel; he has said the split has become "increasingly lonely" but still insists he has no plans to leave Democrats.
