Eric Adams and NYPD brass met multiple times with group linked to the Israeli far-right

My latest with Prism reveals connections between Eric Adams and NYPD leadership with the Israel Heritage Foundation (IHF); a group that has hosted events at a settler hilltop outpost in the Occupied West Bank immediately uphill from where UW grad Ayşenur Ezgi Eygi was shot in the head by an Israeli soldier.

The IHF itself has developed relationships with the furthest hardline rightwing elements of Israeli society. That includes people like Bezalel Smotrich, who recently called for Gaza to be totally destroyed and for Palestinians to be put in concentration camps, and Amichai Eliyahu, who called for nuclear bombing Gaza, and starving Palestinians.

As Daniella Weiss conveyed to Louis Theroux, the violent, religious extremist Israeli far-right leads Israeli society, demolishing ground for official policies that continue to violate international law and disintegrate any semblance of respect for Palestinian human life.

For NYPD and Eric Adams to associate here is significant and deserves heightened scrutiny. Neither NYPD or Adams' campaign spokesperson responded to my questions.
