As mayor of the city with the largest Jewish population outside Israel, millions of Jewish New Yorkers expect @NYCMayor Zohran Mamdani to protect them at a time of surging anti-Semitism.
But he just can’t pass up an opportunity to demonize Israel and attack the Jewish community.
His accusation that @AIPAC—or any mainstream pro-Israel advocacy—is a “monster” moving “dark money” invokes blatant anti-Semitic tropes and the age-old conspiracy of Jewish influence over centers of power.
We can read between the lines. When political leaders like Mamdani employ these classic dog-whistles, it serves only one purpose: to mask anti-Semitism under the guise of policy critique, using words like “dark” to instill fear and incite hostility toward Jewish people.
The only monster here is a public official who uses his massive platform to vilify a vulnerable community. https://t.co/YpCvF099o9
No matter what spin he puts on it, Mayor Mamdani has chosen to double down on his vilification and demonization of those who support Israel and a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.
In his mind, does that make 85%+ of the Jewish community “monsters”?

Stephen A. Smith claps back at Trump:
“The brother wasn't awake. If it was that important for you to be there, why did you look like you were asleep? Didn't you call out former President Joe Biden, 'Sleepy Joe'? Well, what should we call you?”

The comment section is illuminating.
Jews: omg, have the best time! We’re so excited you’re here! Come for Shabbat! You gotta check such and such! Eat!
Leftist Nazis: a torrent of racist abuse and slurs that I won’t repeat because YIKES!
Platner should be a wake up call for Democrats that leftists are pushing wacko candidates who will risk must-win seats in an election where American democracy is at stake. We need to get better about rejecting lunatics and those pushing them on the party.
@kylekuzma So many of the comments are about Israel when all he shared was a post about him enjoying a Jewish wedding. Another example of how anti-Zionism is antisemitism.
.@NYCCouncil Member @ShahanaFromBK, who was endorsed by @NYCMayor, just said "May Allah condemn you to Jahannam [hell]" to Anila Ali, a Muslim American leader who stood publicly with Jewish New Yorkers against antisemitism.
Mayor Mamdani, you stood alongside this council member and endorsed her. Do you consider this language acceptable from one of your closest city partners?
@KyleKulinski Love whenever leftists lose an election it’s about dark money. Explain to me how this is any different than MAGA claiming elections are stolen when they lose. Maybe the candidates you like just aren’t popular?
Thanks to Dr. Steven Windmueller for visiting our offices yesterday to share his insightful perspective on the changing political landscape in the U.S. and its impact on the Jewish community!
A security minister who intentionally inflames international opinion against the citizens he is meant to protect, is not fit to be security minister. Period.
Ben Gvir is far more than an embarrassment. He is a gift to the antizionists, antisemites, and Jew haters. He is true threat to Israeli democracy and fundamental values.
