No, it is the process of a wealthier influx of residents pricing out the lower classes. This is the reverse... more like White Flight. Great find though.

Zoom in to the bottom left of the cartoon.
"Our First Families Driven Out"
Perhaps we should find some historical accounts and research jewish population figures in NYC at the time to get better context for the political cartoon.
