Hours after Mayor Eric Adams issued an executive order barring NYC government from discriminating against Israel<\/a>, Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani told the press that he won\u2019t rule out tossing the measure \u2014 but of course he will.<\/p>\n

Mamdani is an avowed fan of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions drive to slam Israel and all its institutions, from businesses to universities.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s on record calling for a boycott<\/a> of Cornell Tech \u2014 the graduate center on Roosevelt Island seen as a lynchpin of growing Silicon Alley \u2014 because it\u2019s a partnership with the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, one of the world\u2019s premier tech universities.<\/p>\n

In the Legislature, he pushed a bill to strip pro-Israel charities of their tax-exempt status.<\/p>\n

And he\u2019s already said he\u2019ll reverse Adams\u2019 order<\/a>\u00a0adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition of antisemitism as the city\u2019s standard.<\/p>\n

Hating Israel has been the biggest constant of his entire adult life, starting in college; it\u2019s a core belief of his mentors, like Linda Sarsour<\/a> and his dad, too<\/a>, and of his Democratic Socialist base<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Heck, he\u2019s led chants of \u201cBDS, BDS.\u201d<\/p>\n

He may see no reason to announce he\u2019ll nix the anti-BDS order; but he\u2019s sure to, perhaps waiting for the right Friday night to dump the news when it\u2019ll draw the least attention. <\/p>\n

When he looks at Israel, he doesn\u2019t see a democracy that protects the rights of its Arab citizens better than any other country in the region; like his whole movement, he only sees a proud Jewish state that refuses to flinch in the face of fevered, fantastical name-calling about \u201cgenocide\u201d and \u201capartheid.\u201d<\/p>\n

He\u2019s sticking to his ridiculous guns about arresting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zohran Mamdani would far sooner declare himself a fervent capitalist than retreat an inch from his opposition to Israel.<\/p>\n

And anyone who thinks otherwise is only fooling themselves.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hours after Mayor Eric Adams issued an executive order barring NYC government from discriminating against Israel, Mayor-elect Zohran…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":430152,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,12648,56666,4691,5289,99,373,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,1269,31235,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,5301],"class_list":{"0":"post-430151","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-new-york","8":"tag-america","9":"tag-antisemitism","10":"tag-bds","11":"tag-editorial","12":"tag-eric-adams","13":"tag-israel","14":"tag-israel-hamas-war","15":"tag-new-york","16":"tag-new-york-city","17":"tag-newyork","18":"tag-newyorkcity","19":"tag-ny","20":"tag-nyc","21":"tag-opinion","22":"tag-palestinians","23":"tag-united-states","24":"tag-united-states-of-america","25":"tag-unitedstates","26":"tag-unitedstatesofamerica","27":"tag-us","28":"tag-usa","29":"tag-zohran-mamdani"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115676133709702272","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430151","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=430151"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/430151\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/430152"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=430151"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=430151"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=430151"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
