NY City faces tragedy of an anti-Semitic mayor

Anti-Semites are small-minded people who, for reasons of hatred or envy, or more likely a combination of both, have become a rampant part of Western society. We find Jew-haters on Ivy League campuses like Columbia and Harvard, where Jewish students are made to feel unsafe, and are frequently attacked to ensure their feelings are justified, and at activist rallies where, for example, Israeli flags are burned and hatred is proudly spewed. In fact, we now see anti-Semitism here in some members of Congress.

New York City has the largest Jewish population in the United States, with approximately 960,000 Jews as of 2023, nearly half of whom live in Brooklyn, where this writer was born and raised.

If voters want to see New York City fall into the dustbin of history and totally collapse, all they need to do is elect an anti-Semitic mayor. Just look at history where the rise of anti-Semitism occurs and understand that it is a bellwether of the ruin of that society.

Want examples, check out Nazi German, the USSR and even the Spanish Inquisition.

Electing a Jew-hating mayor who looks the other way when anti-Semitic crime occurs, will have huge numbers of city residents to pack up and leave. Some of these people are the city's wealthiest and this will destroy the real estate market, destroy cultural institutions and lead to total moral decay.

Everyone who can leave, will make book; not just Jews, but non-Jews as well.

I left New York City a decade and a half ago, but my friends back home are making plans to leave. They've considered states such as Florida and Texas, to name a few. The swastikas spray-painted on walls and on the desks of their kids in public schools was a harbinger of bad things to follow.

Fox News Digital referenced that public school students in the city "casually referring to high performers in math as 'the Jew table,'" adding "how a Queens community garden posting a ban on Zionists, a 13-year-old Jewish boy slapped in the face while riding his bike through his neighborhood." 

Fully 60% of hate crimes in New York City have been anti-Semitic, despite the fact that Jews comprise only 10% of the city's population.

While all the top contenders for mayor say they deplore anti-Semitism, remember: politicians lie, and anti-Semitic lie when their lips move.

The most dangerous lying candidate is Zohran Mamdani, a state assemblyman currently polling second in the Democratic primary behind former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Mamdani is making the rounds at Jewish events, attended at least seven public and private meetings and meals with Jewish leaders in the last month.

On Friday he posted an official campaign video proclaiming himself a defender of the Jewish people, promising an "800% increase" in city spending to "combat anti-Semitism."

"In this election, we're seeing ... the pain of Jewish New Yorkers being weaponized as a talking point," he moaned.

If you believe him, you would also believe chickens have lips. Mamdani has backed the disgusting anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement. He has called Israel's actions against Gaza "genocide," and recently refused to cosponsor two Assembly resolutions to condemn the Holocaust and recognize the state of Israel.

He is an obvious liar and voters need to see him for what he is.

"Mamdani has been fanning the flames of antisemitism, and now he wants us to believe he's the firefighter," warned David Greenfield of the Metropolitan Council on Jewish Poverty, a major Jewish charity.

The New York Times softened Mamdani's stance on Jews and Israel by calling them "nuanced." Bull pucks! He's a morally bankrupt Jew-hater.

Meanwhile, Cuomo is betting on Jewish voters, relying on a record of supporting Israel and promoting its business ties with New York, as well as signing an anti-BDS bill in 2016. So as long as COVID-19 is out of the headlines, Cuomo has a good shot at a primary win.

Hopefully, Mayor Eric Adams' newly announced Office to Combat Antisemitism will produce real results.

Adams, who is not competing in the June 24 primary, hopes to appear on November's general election ballot as an independent candidate on two lines -- including one called "EndAntiSemitism." Of course, Adams is pandering, but at least we know Adams actually is a real ally of the Jewish community and backs Israel's military campaign against the Hamassholes.

Not so much the Democrat Party, unfortunately.
