Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has accused Mahmood Mamdani, a professor at Columbia University, of contributing to an environment where Jews feel unsafe in New York City during a speech at the United Nations General Assembly. The remarks follow ongoing debates about antisemitism on college campuses and in public discourse. Netanyahu linked Mamdani’s statements to broader concerns about rising hostility toward Jewish communities in the U.S. The controversy underscores tensions between free speech and accusations of incitement in academic and political spheres.
