Mayor Mamdani’s constant anti-Israel obsessions – Latest News
Mayor Zohran Mamdani is a “no room for hate” hypocrite: His obsessive Israel-bashing — and the ravings of his rabid pro-Palestinian besties — encourages antisemitic violence.
Tuesday evening, he launched an incendiary video repeating (again) a litany of lies about Israeli’s battle of self-defense towards the Hamas terrorists and urging mass demonstrations when Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu subsequent involves city.
Thursday, an attacker shouting “Allahu Akbar” stabbed two males — a Jew in a yarmulke and an Asian — on the Upper West Side; the mayor responded with noises about hate and mental sickness.
But it’s not generic hate that encourages such focused bloodshed, nevertheless unstable the perp is perhaps: It’s very particular incitement that factors the violent at a chosen class of victims.
Mamdani must admit that his speech has penalties.
This city (and far of the nation) has seen a growing wave of Israel-bashing ever since Hamas invaded Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, to kill, rape and seize hostages.

And antisemitic assaults have been hovering ever since.
Mamdani’s “this is a city where we have no tolerance for hatred of any kind” blather is a clear lie as long as he retains up his incitement.
If the mayor needs a more peaceable metropolis, he must give up spouting hate; if he doesn’t stop, then he needs the violence.
Publicly obsessing over Gaza or the rest within the Middle East has nothing to do along with his workplace — which is more than simply a day job, as he properly is aware of.
Though even his day-job duties ought to make him hesitate earlier than again calling for mass demonstrations during the approaching UN General Assembly: Dealing with such pointless protests falls on the NYPD rank and file, who’re already exhausted from the long hours of OT during the World Cup, the Knicks’ playoff run and large America 250 celebrations.
Quit fanning the flames, Mr. Mayor.
Just stop.
