A Long Island native who survived Hamas’ attack at an Israeli music festival has expressed her fear and concerns about rising antisemitism, particularly during protests following the conflict. Natalie Sanandaji, 28, initially thought she was safe returning home after the traumatic event but has since witnessed a surge in antisemitic acts and rhetoric in the United States, making her feel less secure. She mentioned friends removing mezuzahs from their doors and some concealing their Jewish identities out of fear. Sanandaji emphasized the need to address this alarming situation and the need for education to prevent history from repeating itself.
