New in PJ Media:
New York City’s Marxist Muslim Mayor Zohran Mamdani acted quickly, once he moved into Gracie Mansion, to demonstrate that his venomous anti-Israel campaign rhetoric was not just an appeal to the Democrat Party’s growing and aggressive hard-left faction. On his very first day in office, he revoked the city’s International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance framework for combating antisemitism.
It’s easy to see why Mamdani would not have wanted to be committed to combating antisemitism: he was busy stirring it up. On July 21, Mamdani falsely accused Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being a war criminal and carrying out a genocide of “Palestinians.” Two days later, a Muslim screaming “Allahu akbar” stabbed an identifiably Jewish man who was leaving Jewish services.
Nor was that an isolated incident. The Jerusalem Post reported Thursday that “Mamdani’s own police commissioner reported hate crimes up nearly 12% citywide, with 55% targeting Jews, who represent about 10% of the city’s population.”
More recently, despite being mayor of the city with the second-largest Jewish population in the world, he has conspicuously left all Jewish lawyers off the city’s 18-member Mayor’s Advisory Committee on the Judiciary. Jews comprise fully half of the city’s lawyers, but Mamdani didn’t see fit to appoint even one Jewish lawyer to the body that vets and recommends candidates for positions on the city’s courts.
The systematic ignoring of the city’s Jewish lawyers will do nothing but contribute to their sidelining within their own profession. Algemeiner reported Tuesday that “a coalition of Jewish legal organizations condemned the appointments, arguing that the omission excludes one of New York’s largest religious and ethnic communities from an influential body responsible for shaping the city’s judiciary.”
The coalition also noted that Mamdani’s snubbing of the Jewish lawyers was just one aspect of “‘a troubling pattern’ that has left many Jewish New Yorkers feeling increasingly marginalized.” That pattern includes not only Mamdani’s rejection of “the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism,” but also “the omission of Jewish neighborhoods from an administration map highlighting immigrant enclaves.”
What’s next? Maybe organized boycotts of Jewish-owned businesses. The BDS (Boycott, Divest, Sanction) movement announced a week after Mamdani took office that it welcomed Mamdani’s “revocation of the anti-BDS Executive Order issued last month by the previous mayor.” The executive order that Mamdani revoked “prevented any mayoral agencies or appointees from doing business with vendors and organizations complying with international law by holding genocidal Israel accountable.” That is, the city was prevented from doing business with entities that boycotted Israel, but no longer.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Involved.
One of the biggest problems is unwillingness to become “involved”; the truth is we are already in this fight! If Jews and Christians don’t stand together you might as well start loading the box cars. If you think the “Loving” Left would show mercy you are either blind or crazy.
Stand ready together, don’t cancel events, defend them! If they protest them and try to disrupt bash them right in the teeth! If they stab; shoot them with a shot gun. If they shoot at us take a flamethrower to them!
Does it make me sad to say these things, sure it does. I have also seen Islam in action in the South West Asia. A 12 Year girl had her nose cut off for the crime of learning to read! I have seen Islam justify strapping IED on to an 10 year old boy.
That’s not Islamophobia… that’s Islamofact!
There are people I know; Christians and Jews that I consider so valuable to our society that I would gladly trade my life for theirs. Honest, moral and capable professionals, professors and engineers that are creating the future that the Muslims would gladly kill for the crime of being Jewish…
Not on my watch! I took an oath and that oath did not end when I retired after 26 years of military and another 6 years of Defense work ended. There is hope, young Jews and Christians that are brave enough to infiltrate and spy on SLP and the other Muslim Brotherhood fronts that the Islamic Cult funds.
This country is the shining light of the Western World!
Israel is the shining light of the Middle East!
This We’ll Defend!
God Bless America and Israel!

Those who know islime, knew this would happen. The terror snake won’t stop on his own. That grin he carries comes from the evil in his ugly heart.
Jesus, a Jew, told His disciples that what the heart feels, comes out of the mouth.
the scummy slug hates Jesus, and speaks out of the evil inclinations of his heart, which is dedicated to satan the devil. there will be no consideration to the Jews….or Christians…living where he has been given power to rule the city. Death is what he desires for them.

How many Jews are still left in NYC?
WPM says
Alot it has the second largest number of people that are Jewish of any city on planet earth .The areas of LI and many part of NJ also have large Jewish populations .The trouble is these same areas have seen the population of new Moslem immigrants exploded in the last 26 years. Like any where on planet earth as the Moslem population increases anti-Semitic crime increases Islam is a breeding factory for pogroms on small and large scale. Now we have the grand smiling Mufti elected by dumber the rocks libitards in NYC .Pray that the republican Blakeman get elected governor of NYS and removes this cancerous jihadist from office in the fall election.
