The ADL refusing to comment on the 800% increase in hate crime prevention funding or the $2 million for a Holocaust memorial in Queens or $2.5 million for the Center for New Jewish Culture in Brooklyn, amongst other things...
Thank you @ZohranKMamdani!
.@NYCMayor Mamdani's antisemitism strategy finally landed and only confirms what we already knew: this mayor does not treat the hate facing Jewish New Yorkers as an emergency and refuses to acknowledge the different shapes it takes. Since he took office 271 days ago, ADL has recorded hundreds of antisemitic incidents in NYC, nearly 40% of which were related to Israel.
After throwing out the IHRA definition on his first day in office, nine months later, his signature strategy still refuses to replace it with any working definition of antisemitism. He has looked the other way as flags glorifying terror groups have been flown outside synagogues, a deliberate act meant to intimidate families walking in to pray, and as crowds gathered outside houses of worship voicing support for the same groups. At the same time, he continues prioritizing his anti-Israel agenda over the basic promises he made to Jewish New Yorkers.
Our expectations have not changed: zero tolerance for antisemitism and extremism in city government, real protection for Jewish institutions, a clear and formal definition of antisemitism that the city actually uses, and city contracts, pensions and procurement kept free of ideological boycotts. ADL will keep tracking and fighting antisemitism in New York City and across the country, whether or not this mayor is willing to do the same.

If you're an incumbent and lose your primary by 32 points then you are in no position to be taken seriously about politics ever again

Yep, must be "genuinely scary" for the Jewish residents of New York's 10th, one of the most Jewish districts in America, who voted tonight to replace a pro-genocide Jewish congressman with an anti-genocide Jewish congressman.
Establishment Jewish leaders are saying unhinged stuff like this today, while normal Jews across NYC are voting in droves for mensches like Brad Lander and Eli Northrup. The disconnect could not be wider, two totally different plains of reality.
Gotham has fallen.
The mass exodus out of the New York will continue apace. I call it the Blue Exodus.
Last night’s sweep of Marxist Socialist candidates will further destroy New York City.
The virulent antisemitism in the Socialists’ campaigns is dangerous not only to Jews, but to every American. Because they are attacking the West.
If they continue to win, the American Dream and Western Civilization will fall. Wake up.
After last night, the pro-Israel talking heads who claim to speak for the Jewish community are out in droves. But their concerns fall flat as anti-genocide candidates won in Jewish districts, w/ 1000s of Jewish supporters, on platforms backed by an increasing majority of Jews.

The @ADL, @AIPAC, @AJCGlobal, etc will continue to pick fights about Gramsci quotes and coffeeshop baristas because they have no real argument against the sea change underway in the Jewish community and American politics.
Park Slope voter Lawson Shadburn supports Lander. “I am a concerned Jew who's very worried about how U.S. policy towards Israel and Israel's behavior is not good for Israel or for Jews.
And so it is out of a out of that Jewish consciousness that I am opposed to Dan Goldman.”

This is so disappointing. He's asked a straightforward question about policies that he will vote on as a MOC, and just completely ignores it. Weak sauce from @MicahLasher
Micah Lasher, when asked about Israel aid at #NY12 candidate forum held at Bnei Jeshruen, moderated by Michelle Goldberg:
“I'm exhausted by the obsession on a plot of land the size of New Jersey…. I'm tired of the obsession on this topic in this campaign.”
