Mamdani’s immediate attacks on Jewish safety
On his first day as mayor, New York City’s Zohran Mamdani decided to set the stage for his time in office by slashing key executive orders designed to protect Jewish residents of the city. His choice to cut all executive orders passed by Eric Adams since Sept. 26, 2024, has little to do with his claimed purpose of creating a “clean slate” following the indictment of the former mayor.
Instead, it is a thinly veiled attempt at weakening the definition of antisemitism in a way that allows for Mamdani, an opponent of Israel, to attack the Jewish state and leave Jews across the city vulnerable to discrimination. This city is my home, and my community has been intentionally left vulnerable by our mayor’s abandonment of the legal safeguards that were designed to ensure our safety.
Mamdani is a career-long opponent of Israel and has repeatedly used his platform to deny the historic Jewish connection to the Jewish state. His foray into politics began with his co-founding the Bowdoin College chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, an extremist group known for its outspoken praise of Hamas.
He credits his anti-Israel positions to his introduction and involvement with the Democratic Socialists of America, a consistent promulgator of the discriminatory forces of Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions, which is anti-Jewish and anti-peace. BDS aims to delegitimize Israel’s right to exist and marginalize Jews all over the world through economic sanctions, cultural isolation, and exclusion.
