âWho is the terrorist? The United States of America!â
This is Mamdaniâs endorsed candidate for Congress, as the October 2023 Hamas massacre that killed dozens of American citizens was still unfolding. Understand what is happening here.
There is no chance heâs not aware of this. He knows. He supports it. He literally endorses it. Mamdani himself was arrested protesting at Chuck Schumerâs house just days after 10/7, preemptively opposing the Jewish stateâs response to the slaughter through disorderly conduct outside a prominent Jewâs home. This is who he is.
Meet Diana Smith, 34, of NYC.
Smith screamed at a Jewish woman that Jews "eat babies," accused her of eating a baby herself, then violently attacked her, ripping out a clump of her hair and sending her to the hospital.
Bystanders did NOTHING.
Three days ago, I wrote that many Jews in Montreal feel like we are living in a pressure cooker.
Waiting for the next escalation. The next synagogue attack. The next Jewish school shooting. The next tragedy everyone will pretend came out of nowhere.
This morning, we woke up to the news that Temple Emanu-El, the oldest reform synagogue in the country, was firebombed.
Iâm not a prophet. Iâm not a fortune teller. Iâm just a Jew living in Montreal.
And while everyone waits for the official wording, I will say what Jewish Montrealers already know: this is what happens when our leadership refuses to call out antizionism for what it is, a violent global hate movement.
It radicalizes people. It dehumanizes Jews. It turns Jewish schools, synagogues, community centres, and visible Jews into acceptable targets.
Call it what it is, instead of creating another committee of questionable bureaucrats to check off a box. Too little, too late.
Our collective heart is shattered and our blood calls out for justice.
A young Jewish woman â a 23-year-old nurse â was viciously assaulted on the NYC subway in broad daylight. A woman screamed the medieval blood libel âJews are eating kids!â at her, âI smell the kids on you,â then choked her, threw her to the ground, beat her, and ripped out chunks of her hair. The victim ended up hospitalized with a concussion.
This wasnât random rage â it was pure, ancient Jew-hatred unleashed in 2026 New York.
And where is Mayor Zohran Mamdani? Four days of deafening silence. No condemnation. No statement. No leadership.
This is not leadership. This is complicity.
When the highest elected official in our city refuses to speak out against a brazen antisemitic attack â especially amid a shocking 70% surge in anti-Jewish hate crimes â it sends a clear message: Jewish New Yorkers are fair game. Mamdaniâs rhetoric, his policies, and his selective silence have helped foster an environment where medieval blood libels are shouted on our subways and Jews are targeted for simply existing.
This young woman could have been any one of us. Any Jewish mother, daughter, sister, grandmother riding the train home. She is someoneâs child. Someone who chose to heal others â and was brutalized for being Jewish.
How many more attacks will it take? How many more silent days from City Hall?
We are not strangers in this city. Brooklyn, our neighborhoods, our history â we built lives here after the Holocaust. We deserve to ride the subway, walk the streets, and live without fear.
Enough. Call out the hate. Demand leadership that protects every New Yorker â including Jews.
Silence in the face of blood libels and violence is not neutrality. It is permission.
My heart weeps for this young woman.
Never again means never again â not even in 2026 New York.
Lucas used to be one of the biggest antisemites.
Driven down a rabbit hole of conspiracies and lies.
I am confident that more people will end up like Lucas, pissed off by all of the lies theyâve been fed about Jews and coming back to reality.
The more I sit down and talk to Jewish people, the more I realize how maligned they are.
The lies the JQ crowd now tell about me are similar to those they tell about Jews.
I was part of that crowd, but now I'm glad to say I'm no longer an antisemite.

This is such a touching post
I feel the sadness and how disorienting this time is.
I donât know why so many people have turned their backs or become enemies but I do know that you have friends.
Please everyone comment and follow on Michaelâs post and follow him. Letâs get back to the community feel we had in 2024 on here before all the dramas and grifters
We need to be there for each other. Jew and non Jew.
I never wanted to be a political account.
I'm a British Jew. A husband. A father of two. An engineer. A man who believed that if you worked hard, treated people decently and kept your head down, the world would mostly leave you alone.
My grandfather survived Auschwitz.
For most of my life, antisemitism felt like history. Something to remember, not something my children would have to face.
Then came October 7th.
Since then I've watched Jewish people told to stay quiet, hide who they are, apologise for who they are, or accept standards that would never be applied to anyone else.
For a long time I said very little. I didn't want to drag my family into politics. I convinced myself someone else would speak.
Eventually I realised that silence comes with its own cost.
Martin Luther King Jr wrote:
"In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends."
So I'm speaking.
Against antisemitism.
Against extremism.
Against political intimidation.
For free speech, liberal democracy, integration and honest debate.
You don't have to agree with me on everything.
But if you're willing to have difficult conversations without hatred, you're welcome here.
Rather than share a Jewish personâs view on antisemitism, Javier Bardem chose to share the words of Hasan Piker, who called Jews âinbredâ and said it didnât matter if Israelis were raped on October 7.
You canât fight antisemitism while youâre actively promoting it.
We are appalled that a young, visibly Jewish woman was hospitalized with a concussion after a reported vicious antisemitic attack on a crowded NYC subway. The attacker allegedly screamed the blood libel that âJews eat children,â grabbed her by the throat, threw her to the ground, and ripped out her hair. No one should have to fear for their safety because of their identity, and we hope more people will step up to protect their fellow New Yorkers. We commend the NYPD and its Hate Crimes Task Force for swiftly making an arrest. The message from Mayor Mamdani and all NY elected leaders must be clear: antisemitism will be met with condemnation and consequences.
