On Tuesday night, New Yorkers elected Zohran Mamdani mayor. By doing so, the city that once stood as the world’s beacon of liberty has handed the keys of power to a Hamas sympathizer.
This marks a critical turning point for the city of New York — home to the largest Jewish community in the world outside of Israel. The city’s elections have determined whether New York remains a safe home for more than a million Jews or continues the dangerous slide that began two years ago, when vile pro-Hamas protests took over campuses like CUNY and NYU — and especially Columbia University, which became a symbol and stronghold of Hamas support in the United States, spilling into the streets of Manhattan.
It is almost unthinkable that New York — the proud and historic center of Jewish life — could become the American city where Jews no longer feel at home or safe.
But with the election of Mamdani as mayor, that unthinkable scenario is now a reality. New York will never be the same — particularly for its Jewish community. Mamdani, like his mentor Linda Sarsour, represents the "Red-Green Alliance" — the dangerous strategic partnership between radical Islamism and the far-left progressive movement. What unites them is a loathing for the very idea of liberty — the symbol of New York itself — and a pathological hatred of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.
