Mamdani’s victory raises fears for the safety of the Jewish community, Israeli minister warns

On Tuesday evening, New Yorkers elected Zohran Mamdani as mayor. In doing so, the city that was once the beacon of freedom in the world has handed the keys to power to a Hamas sympathizer.

This marks a crucial turning point for New York City – home to the world’s largest Jewish community outside Israel. The city’s elections have determined whether New York remains a safe home for more than a million Jews or continues the dangerous decline 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, spreading into the streets of Manhattan.

It is almost inconceivable 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 A reality. New York will never be the same again – especially for the 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 an aversion to the idea of ​​freedom – the symbol of New York itself – and a pathological hatred of the Jewish people and the State of Israel.

MORNING GLORY: THE RETURN OF ANTISEMITISM SHOULD SHOCK AND Frighten AMERICANS

This alliance seeks to infiltrate political Islamism in the United States under the camouflage of social services and human rights. Their goal is to take over America’s cultural, academic, and political institutions, just as they have successfully done in parts of Western Europe. They say it openly: all it takes is the willingness to listen. And New York is now one step closer to becoming the next London.

This was not just an election between Cuomo and Mamdani, but between freedom and the values ​​of the American Republic on the one hand and political Islam on the other. This is without a doubt the Muslim Brotherhood’s greatest victory in the United States – and possibly in the entire Western world. From the capital of the West to electing a mayor who embraces the genocidal call to ‘globalize the Intifada’.

This infiltration is supported by the Muslim Brotherhood regimes, primarily Qatar.

It should also be recognized that this administration under President Donald Trump and his team has tackled anti-Semitism like never before – unlike the previous administration, which thought it was a good idea to include CAIR in its strategic plan to combat anti-Semitism. With decisive action – not empty words – this current administration is ensuring that Jewish students across America are safe again.

But at the same time, a toxic form of anti-Semitism is rapidly rising from within the political right. Influencers, media personalities, think tanks, student organizations and even elected officials give platforms and legitimacy to neo-Nazi rhetoric, Holocaust deniers and the most absurd conspiracy theories – all under the misleading banner of “free speech.” The same foreign powers that drove pro-Hamas demonstrations across America last year are very likely the cause of this divide within the political right today.

Their goal is clear: to sow division between Christians and Jews and break the unbreakable alliance between the US and Israel.

Three years ago, when I became Israel’s Minister of Diaspora Affairs and Combating Anti-Semitism, I considered right-wing anti-Semitism in America to be fringe and marginal. Yes, we’ve had neo-Nazi attacks, like the Tree of Life synagogue massacre in Pittsburgh. But I believed that the real ideological threat came from the woke left – and at the time that was correct.

But today the tide has turned. Neo-Nazism is normalized, reinforced and excused.

And now the conservative movement in America, as Senator Ted Cruz so forcefully said, is at a dramatic crossroads. This is a moment of moral choice.

As Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks said, “The hatred that begins with the Jews never ends with the Jews.” The same forces that hate Jews also hate blacks, Hispanics, and anyone who refuses to submit to their ideological purity.

As a conservative, I know it’s easier to denounce anti-Semitism when it comes from the left. But today the most dangerous rising wave is coming from within the right, and we must say this clearly: this is not conservatism.

Conservatism is incompatible with fanaticism and racism. It is rooted in truth, faith and human freedom. You cannot call yourself a conservative while admiring Hitler, Stalin or the theocratic dictator who rules Iran.

The foundations of the American Jewish and Jewish Christian alliance remain strong, built on a principle articulated by the Founders themselves: “Revolt against tyrants is obedience to God,” Benjamin Franklin’s proposed motto for the Great Seal of the United States in 1776, later adopted by Thomas Jefferson as his personal seal.

This is the cornerstone of the Jewish-Christian tradition and of the American-Israeli partnership.

And in the end the truth wins.
