New York's new mayor says he wants to fight antisemitism. The first thing he did was take Eric Adams' existing plan and scrub the word Israel right out of it. The second thing he didn't do was say a single word about his own wife cheering on the October 7 massacre.

Just the other day, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani vowed to fight antisemitism in his city. That didn't involve him divorcing his wife, who celebrated the October 7 terrorist attacks, or him resigning from office. What it did involve was rehashing the plans put in place by former Mayor Eric Adams, but only after removing all mentions of Israel and anti-Israel antisemitism.
Of course, that's because "globalize the intifada" — which Mamdani supports — specifically requires the destruction of Israel and, eventually, the eradication of Jews everywhere. So absolutely no one will be surprised to learn exactly where New Yorker tax dollars are going in order to "fight antisemitism."
The $30 million plan is going to increase funding for Partners Against the Hate (PATH), who will get $6.4 million under Mamdani's scheme, including money for the anti-Israel group the Arab American Association of New York. The group is run by CAIR leader and Mamdani mentor Linda Sarsour.
Last year, Sarsour bragged about how CAIR was helping elected Muslims and Democratic Socialists like Mamdani.

The organization pocketed $3.3 million in city funding between 2017 and 2024, the Washington Examiner first reported, citing data analyzed by the transparency watchdog group OpenTheBooks.
P.A.T.H. partners also include the 67th Precinct Clergy Council, aka “the Godsquad,” the LGBT NYC Anti-Violence Project, the Asian American Federation and the Hispanic Federation.
Mamdani has been under pressure since taking office to address the rise in anti-Jewish hate crimes throughout the five boroughs.
NYPD crime data showed an 8% jump in antisemitic attacks through August, with anti-Jewish hate crimes specifically accounting for an outsized majority of the reports.
Before taking office, Mamdani campaigned with Sarsour — an early supporter of the then-relatively unknown Queens assemblyman — on arresting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu despite the mayor having no authority over cuffing foreign dignitaries.

"Increased funding" implies that they're already receiving funding.
He’s also funding the KKK to advocate for black people.
The SPLC was doing that, but it's a good metaphor.
Mamdani’s antisemitism plan doubles Partners Against the Hate to $6.4 million. One anchor in that program is the Arab American Association of New York. Anchors get the city money and regrant it.

Remember, CAIR supported Mamdani's campaign, which means some of that money is likely getting funded right back to Mamdani.
Mamdani funds an Islamic group to fight antisemitism which then moves the money back to CAIR which funds Mamdani
Here's the blunt truth, Mamdani believes you "fight" antisemitism by eradicating Israel and killing all the Jews. There won't be antisemitism if there are no Jews.
Editor’s Note: New York City is now facing the consequences of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s socialist takeover.

New York's new mayor says he wants to fight antisemitism. The first thing he did was take Eric Adams' existing plan and scrub the word Israel right out of it. The second thing he didn't do was say a single word about his own wife cheering on the October 7 massacre. That's not a plan for protecting Jewish New Yorkers. That's a press release for everyone else.
Mamdani can stand at a podium and promise to keep Jews safe, but the people he's really trying to keep comfortable are the ones who celebrated the worst attack on Jews since the Holocaust. Removing Israel from the conversation is a tell. Every Jewish community in this city can see it. They've been through this song and dance before with politicians who want their votes but not their problems.
And then there's the wife. Nobody demanded a divorce, and nobody should have to. But a mayor vowing to fight antisemitism should at least be able to say that celebrating the murder of civilians is wrong. He won't, because that would cost him the coalition that got him elected. So instead we get a recycled plan with the teeth pulled out, delivered with a straight face.
New York's Jewish voters deserve better than this. They deserve a mayor who doesn't need a reminder to condemn terrorism, and they deserve a policy that names the actual threat. Mamdani gave them neither. He made his choice already. The question is whether enough people will hold him to it.
