New York City\u2019s outgoing Mayor Eric Adams called the devastating terror attack at Australia\u2019s Bondi Beach<\/a> an \u201cactual application of the globalization of the intifada\u201d as he and the city\u2019s top cop rolled out plans to increase security for Hanukkah.<\/p>\n

Adams, who is just over two weeks away from the end of his term, addressed the Bondi terror attack \u2014 where at least 15 people were gunned down \u2014 as he and NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch announced boosted security for \u201cJewish life\u201d events in the five boroughs, including swaths of Hanukkah celebrations.<\/p>\n

NYC Mayor Eric Adams said that the terror attack at Bondi Beach exemplified \u201cthe globalization of the intifada.\u201d Luiz C. Ribeiro for New York Post<\/p>\n

While the mayor stumbled through his address, and mistakenly referred to Australia as \u201cAustria\u201d multiple times, he did decry the \u201cglobalize intifada\u201d movement he said laid the groundwork for the terror attack.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat attack in Sydney is exactly what it means to globalize intifada. We saw the actual application of the globalization of intifada in Sydney,\u201d Adams said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis attack did not come out of nowhere. It came out as a consequence of Islamic extremists. We have to be clear on that,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch said that they \u201cticked\u201d security up in the wake of \u201cthe attacks in Australia.\u201d Luiz C. Ribeiro for New York Post<\/p>\n

Tisch, who is Jewish, decided \u201cto be blunt\u201d and plainly asserted that the attack was \u201cpart of a wider assault on Jewish life.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAn environment in which hatred far exceeds rhetoric and erupts into horrifying acts of violence. Jewish communities are being forced to confront a threat that is persistent, adaptive and is evident yet again today. Global in scope. That\u2019s why the NYPD is acutely focused on prevention. We calibrate our presence to meet the threat,\u201d Tisch said.<\/p>\n

Tisch assured that the NYPD had \u201can early start\u201d preparing for public Menorah lightings scheduled even ahead of the terror attack, which took place on the eve of Hanukkah. <\/p>\n

She said people should expect to see \u201can enhanced uniform presence, specialized patrol, heavy weapons teams, counterterrorism resources\u201d at many celebrations and synagogues. She grimly noted that there would also be \u201cbomb squad deployments where appropriate.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe ticked it up even further following the attacks in Australia,\u201d Tisch explained.<\/p>\n

Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani also condemned the attack<\/a> as a \u201cvile act of antisemitic terror\u201d in a post on X early Sunday morning. <\/p>\n

\u201cToo many no longer feel safe to be themselves, to express their faith publicly, to worship in their synagogues without armed security stationed outside. What happened at Bondi is what many Jewish people fear will happen in their communities too,\u201d Mamdani wrote.<\/p>\n

He encouraged all to \u201cbanish this horrific violence to the past\u201d as he pledged to \u201ckeep Jewish New Yorkers safe.\u201d<\/p>\n
