When I was a lawyer at Gibson Dunn in D.C., we took our summer associates to the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum. A survivor spoke to us and said something that stuck with me:

Lawyers need to know the holocaust did not begin with camps. It began when Jews were removed from institutions - above all, legal institutions. Judges stripped of their robes. Lawyers disbarred. Then, when law-groups were Judenrein, they codified laws that made discrimination systematic and "legal."

First, you remove the Jews from the institutions. Then, Jews can be discriminated against without representation.

On Monday, Mayor Mamdani announced his 18-member Advisory Committee on the Judiciary. The Committee was promised to be "truly reflective of New York City."

Not one of the 18 is Jewish.

Not one Jewish attorney, former judge, or law professor - in a city where one in eight residents is Jewish and even Justice John Leventhal, recommended by the State's Chief Judge, was rejected.

It is estimated that over 50% of the New York bar is Jewish. That means there is a 0.0004% chance of no Jews being selected to the Committee.

Mamdani’s marginalization of Jews has been ongoing, and few voices on the Left have spoken up.

On Day 1, Mamdani revoked the IHRA antisemitism definition (top priority); he changed the NYPD guidance protecting houses of worship, eliminated Jews from the City's immigrant-heritage map, called for the arrest of the prime minister of the only Jewish state, and now created a Judenrein Judiciary Committee.

My grandmother, Leah, survived Nazi Germany. Before the laws, before the violence, she told me how she was pushed out of her high school groups. Then, once excluded from all activities, she was bullied and marginalized.

We are already seeing Step 2 in NYC. Two weeks ago, on a Jewish Holiday, two men were stabbed outside Upper West Side synagogues - one wearing a kippah- and yesterday, Jewish students were attacked. Every 26 hours, there is a hate crime against Jews in NYC.

In NYC, there is a concerted effort to disappear Jews from public life and leadership.

No one on the Left is speaking out. If this discrimination was happening to any other group, the chorus would be deafening.

To be clear, Jews will find a way. Many are already taking their talents elsewhere. When white-shoe firms shut Jewish lawyers out, they built firms that now dominate. Cardozo, Louis Marshall, and Ruth Bader Ginsburg all found a way despite discrimination.

But NYC will be worse off without us. A city government that is judenrein - cleansed of Jews – does not just hurt the Jews, but hurts the city.

The tragedy is not just that Jews were left out of the institutions. It is that the institutions were left without the Jews.

If you see this and have not yet spoken out, I encourage you to do so.

Israel has more Muslims, than the entire Muslim world has Jews combined.

@RitaPanahi And the perm. He’s wrong for that perm, too.

Nobody disputes that Santa Clara District Attorney Jeff Rosen is a skilled and seasoned prosecutor.

So it shocked the local Jewish community — even in this era of appalling antizionist bigotry — when Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Kelley Paul effectively decided Thursday that Rosen’s Jewish identity precluded him from fairly prosecuting people who spray-painted “Death to Israel” on a university wall.

Paul, shamefully, removed Rosen from the case.

In doing so, she applied a racist double standard neither she nor any other judge in the United States would have dared apply to any minority group but the Jewish people.

So well deserved.

This is in my district. My grandfather escaped the pogroms of Poland, and my grandmother was part of the KinderTransport out of Germany while her parents were killed at Auschwitz and we are never going back to those days asshole.

Yes!! Please stop trying to murder us so we can live our lives in peace.

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

This is unacceptable in a country that is supposed to set an example for freedom of religion to the rest of the world.

There is no question that antisemitism is on the rise, and we have a duty as Americans to confront and call out this evil wherever we see it in our society.

It turns out that if you import millions of people who are taught to hate Jews their entire lives your country becomes less safe for Jews. Who could have predicted this?
