The End Jew Hatred movement has formally launched a petition<\/a> calling on New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to initiate removal proceedings against New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani<\/a> under Section 9 of the New York Public Officers Law. The campaign follows a series of incidents and mounting political backlash over the administration\u2019s public safety record and rhetoric.<\/p>\n

The push for his removal stems directly from violent attacks in Manhattan, including an incident on July 23 in which two men were stabbed<\/a> four minutes and two blocks apart on the Upper West Side.<\/p>\n

The victims included Chok Sung, 57, and Moshe Grunhaus, 50, who was \u201cstabbed in the torso as he walked home from his synagogue on West 86th, 200 feet from the doors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Activists and community organizers argue that the administration has failed to protect vulnerable minorities, noting that neither man was protected from a man yelling \u201cAllahu Akbar!\u201d<\/p>\n

Central to the petition\u2019s grievances are accusations regarding equal protection and hate crimes, noting that the mayor revoked the city\u2019s antisemitism<\/a> framework [International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance] on his first day in office and replaced it with nothing.<\/p>\n

Three months later, Mamdani\u2019s own police commissioner reported hate crimes up nearly 12% citywide, with 55% targeting Jews, who represent about 10% of the city\u2019s population.<\/p>\n

Mamdani’s use of social media<\/strong><\/p>\n

Furthermore, the petition\u2019s authors took issue with the administration\u2019s use of official platforms, highlighting that city channels were used to declare a foreign head of government, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a war criminal and unwelcome in a video seen over 90 million times, while the mayor later conceded he had no power to arrest the premier.<\/p>\n

Beyond these core allegations, the petition cites further executive failures, including the mayor\u2019s veto of school safety legislation Intro 175-B, questions over relaxed child welfare screenings, and whistleblower retaliation within the Department of Probation.<\/p>\n

The campaign launch featured a demonstration outside state offices where journalist and commentator Zack Sage Fox said, \u201cWe are standing outside of Kathy Hochul\u2019s office to demand proceedings to remove Mayor Mamdani\u201d and emphasized, \u201cwe are doing this with a legal argument, with the law on our side.\u201d<\/p>\n

Activist Anila Ali rejected the mayor\u2019s rhetoric, stating that he represents \u201ca very toxic ideology which is the DSA, the Islamists, that\u2019s not acceptable to the majority of Muslims living in America.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow activist and singer Ghazal Mizrahi spoke of her family\u2019s background fleeing the Islamic regime in Iran, saying, \u201cI stand here today as a proud Iranian Jew, but as a proud American above all of that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Activist Anila Ali rejected the mayor\u2019s rhetoric, addressing the crowd, she said, \u201cThe day he got elected, his face, his cover was unmasked. He is representing a very toxic ideology, which is the DSA, the Islamists, that\u2019s not acceptable to the majority of Muslims living in America who love our Jewish neighbors, our Christian neighbors.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ali further warned that this ideology mirrored the radical movements behind September 11, noting, \u201cOur religion has been hijacked by these kinds of Islamists\u201d and declaring that mothers and women stood at risk of their own lives to oppose \u201ca lot of toxic, hateful ideology that is anti-American, that is anti-Islam, that is antisemitic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mizrahi Expanded on these themes by sharing her family\u2019s personal history.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy family lived under Sharia law under the Islamic regime in Iran, and they left everything, their whole life, their whole dreams behind so that my sister and I wouldn\u2019t have to live under the same extremism and terror. So I stand here today as a proud Iranian Jew but as a proud American above all of that,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Concurrently, New York State Assemblyman Michael Novakhov announced a formal complaint to the US Department of Justice, releasing a video on social media in which he said, \u201cI made a promise to our community that I would hold Zohran Mamdani accountable for fueling antisemitism in New York, and today I\u2019m keeping that promise.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jayne Zirkle, director of communications at The Lawfare Project, as well as End Jew Hatred organizer, told The Jerusalem Post in a statement, \u201cAs one of the leading providers of legal services for victims of terror, the Lawfare Project proudly stands with 9\/11 victims in their demand that Mayor Mamdani not attend the 9\/11 ceremony.<\/p>\n

\u201cMamdani has stood with pro-Hamas voices over Americans and even visited a mosque where the imam had ties to the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The voices of 9\/11 families deserve to be heard, and their wishes deserve to be respected.\u201d<\/p>\n

The legal framework cited by petitioners rests on the New York Constitution and Public Officers Law, which give the governor the means to remove a public officer for misconduct in office upon charges, notice, and a hearing.<\/p>\n

Organizers intend to deliver all signed petitions directly to the Executive Chamber in Albany.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The End Jew Hatred movement has formally launched a petition calling on New York Gov.
