Yesterday, DSA Mayor Zohran Mamdani, an avowed Communist, revealed again his anti-Semitic attitude by claiming he will NOT attend the annual Israel Day Parade on Sunday. A tradition which every New York City mayor has attended annually since it was first held 1964.
Why? Because he disagrees with the Jewish state’s government.
First of all, you don’t have to support the Israeli government to attend. After all, Senator Schmuck Schumer has attended in the past. And he doesn’t support Israel, either.
The celebration along Fifth Avenue draws tens of thousands of revelers annually, including local community groups and students. Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch will, instead, serve as an honorary Grand Marshall this year.
The top cop, who is Jewish, pointed to herself during the briefing when a reporter asked if anyone would be representing the Mamdani administration at the parade.
“It is the mayor’s decision not to march, and it is my decision to march proudly,” she said.
But some members of the Jewish community weren’t convinced by Mamdani’s reason for ditching the event, pointing out it is a celebration of religious identity and comes at a time when anti-Semitism continues to roil the City.
And considering that there are about ONE MILLION Jews living in New York City and over TWO MILLION Jews living in the New York Metro area, the largest number of Jews outside Israel, it is actually an insult to almost 15% of the City’s residents.
Rabbi Marc Schneier, president of the Foundation for Ethnic Understanding, had a blunt message for the Democratic Socialists of America darling and said recently, “The mayor was elected to lead all of us. He has decided that some of us are not worth his time. That is his right. It is also our right to remember it.”
Mamdani’s snub stands in sharp contrast with his predecessors and comes after he happily joined other festivities this year, including the Lunar New Year Parade honoring Asian citizens, the Pragwah Parade honoring Indians and other Hindus, and the St Patrick’s Day Parade honoring the Irish. But his hatred for citizens who profess Judaism is actually abominable and appalling.
Let’s keep this in mind what a bigot he truly is.
