Mayor Zohran Mamdani can\u2019t just condemn \u201cviolence at a protest\u201d now that the key facts are out about Saturday\u2019s chaos near Gracie Mansion: He needs to call out where the threats of violence come from, and denounce them.<\/p>\n

We now know those were genuine explosive devices<\/a>, hurled by ISIS-loving radicals<\/a> \u2014 New Yorkers seduced by evil within Gotham\u2019s own Muslim community.<\/p>\n

The mayor should name the poison plaguing his co-religionists \u2014 and the madness among his Democratic Socialist allies that mourns the killing of a monster<\/a> like Ali Khameini.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to slam low-rent hate-exhibitionists like Jack Lang, the agitator whose protest the bomb-throwers attacked, but also beside the point: That counter-protesters outnumbered his tiny crowd by six-to-one shows what a sideshow Lang\u2019s ilk will always be.<\/p>\n

What can truly make a difference is calling out the people who seem to be on your side, but aren\u2019t \u2014 the ones who claim that Islamic values support attacks on innocents, who deny the mass rapes and other crimes of supposed \u201cfreedom fighters,\u201d who pretend that the \u201canti-imperialist\u201d cause requires sympathy for terror-promoting tyrants.<\/p>\n

Mamdani would also be wise to express his concern for the communities who feel most at risk from this violence, and come out in support of Speaker Julie Menin\u2019s package<\/a> of bills to fight antisemitism and protect the rights to worship<\/a> of all New Yorkers.<\/p>\n

Side with the vast sane center of New York City, Mr. Mayor \u2014 make it plain your recognize toxic hate on every extreme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mayor Zohran Mamdani can\u2019t just condemn \u201cviolence at a protest\u201d now that the key facts are out about…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":642587,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5122],"tags":[5229,12648,6984,4691,102899,94845,133507,405,403,5226,5225,5228,5227,266321,1269,7237,67,586,132,5230,68,2969,5301],"class_list":["post-642586","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-america","tag-antisemitism","tag-bombs","tag-editorial","tag-extremism","tag-gracie-mansion","tag-isis","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-newyork","tag-newyorkcity","tag-ny","tag-nyc","tag-operation-epic-fury","tag-opinion","tag-protests","tag-united-states","tag-united-states-of-america","tag-unitedstates","tag-unitedstatesofamerica","tag-us","tag-usa","tag-zohran-mamdani"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/116197766262016193","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642586","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=642586"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/642586\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/642587"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=642586"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=642586"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=642586"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
