Great idea, and as an ex-Muslim Iranian-Canadian, I can only reinforce your argument: throughout the West—including Canada here —harassment of Jews should be pursued legally and politically. Antisemites must face meaningful consequences for every threat or act of intimidation.
I can't see the article, but when I visited Vienna, I didn't like the spiritual atmosphere. My husband didn't sense it. I had not heard about the treatment of Jews there. Then it made sense.
The FBI and United States Attorney's Office in the SDNY should investigate this "protest" as a federal violation of the FACE Act, which not only prohibits interference with access to birth clinics, but also prohibits interference with access to houses of worship.
And yet, of the Jews who voted in the election, over 30% of them voted for Mamdani. I have been vilified and ostracized by my liberal Jewish friends for saying this, but sadly, some Jews seem to have a suicide wish.
Talking to Americans and what I’ve observed, Party seems to come above everything, whatever the Polices! “It’s my Party”, they say, so they don’t care if Harris uses word salad or Mamdani says he hates Jews. Why are there ‘Red States’ and ‘Blue States’? Here, I’ve voted for about 5 different Parties over the years.
I can't explain it. Is their identity that fused with the "idea" of being liberal / understanding / compassionate / tolerant? (I say "idea" because this clearly is not the normal liberal left ideology. They wear this like an overcoat, which if removed, would leave them shivering out in the cold. Meanwhile, it is incumbent on every human being to protect themselves -- that is the first order, always.
"Jabotinsky was most pessimistic about the continuation of Jewish life in the Diaspora. At the Hatzach (New Zionist Organization) Conference held in Warsaw, on June 13, 1936, he clearly raised the idea of "Evacuation" – mass removal of Jews from Europe. Jabotinsky was sharply attacked, accused that his idea would insight the Polish government to expel the Jews.
Various streams of Judaism, among them the "Bund", fought against the idea to eliminate the Diaspora and Jabotinsky's Evacuation Plan. But he continued to warn, "We must save the millions – many millions."
Perfectly stated. I would imagine those Jews trying to get into the synagogue didn’t need any convincing once inside. They probably walked in and said, Sign me up.
Jewish Democrats like Shapiro and Emanuel realize they have no future in the Democratic Party so they slowly water down their defense of Israel and Jews and hope to “manage” antisemites like Mamdani. How do you manage someone whose identity is rooted in the destruction of Israel? For too many Jewish Dems political survival is more important than moral courage. The “as a Jew” Jews providing cover to Mamdani and his ilk are hoping to be seen as the “good” Jews. Like the Jewish aparatchiks that supported Lenin, they will be dealt with when they are no longer needed by the Red/Green alliance
Oh yes . . . if they have their way there would be a long line of supporters who would be "dealt with" when they are no longer needed, including all those liberal professors and students.
This is only the beginning for New York. Mamdani hasn't been officially sworn in, and making statements to the uneducated ear that would sound like he's concerned about Jews in a synagogue. Like many antisemites, there's always the but, throwing in "international law" as if that means something. And the NYPD, do nothings who should have arrested many of the "protesters" and didn't. The same behavior in the UK, police protect the Islamists and arrest the patriots. This is what empowers these groups, so expect to see much, much more of this. And now after groveling at the WH with Trump, it seems they're "best buds." Since his Middle East trip and closeness to Qatar, Trump has suddenly embraced the Arabs, Syria, Turkey, Qatar, Saudi, etc. Vapid threats to Hamas that never come to fruition. Eternal peace in the Middle East? He's delusional. Designating The Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist orgaization hasn't happened yet. We can fght back but until these groups and Muslim communities like Dearborn are dealt with, and by that, I mean, when they try to push their Sharia Law on US born Christians or Jews, our government must do something. If they're allowed to believe their Sharia Law can be implemented over our Constitution, the US will follow the demise of Europe.
Trump was never our friend. He is entirely transactional. If he perceived that an action will benefit him, he takes it regardless of the consequences for ANYONE else.
I did think he was the only president to stand with Israel, but that began to change with his trip to the Middle East, courtesy of Witkoff. Qatar and Saudi Arabia pulled out all the stops for him, and he was totally impressed with all the ostentatious surroundings. When Witkoff met Sheika Moza on the receiving line, her face lit up because he's her puppet and provided entree into Trump's world. Really disgusting. Then the turnaround in attitude towards Israel, and the threats to Hamas that never materialized. I could go on and on. Unless Trump has a secret plan, this entire scenario is disgusting. The creme de la creme was when he met Mamdani last week and used soft gloves on him. Gross.
What is happening in NYC has already played out in Britain and in Canada, for over two years, and is intensifying in Canada with a Jewish population of only 400 000, as the government in power, the Hamas atrocity loving Liberal Party with the Irish Catholic PM, Carney, is in fact supporting the hatred and violence against Jews of the over two million radical jihadists that have been allowed into Canada in the past few years, with little or no vetting, including from Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Turkey, the Baqaa Valley in Lebanon, Gaza and the PA, as well as North Africa, and of course the Hamas wannabe Progressive Jew haters, who are the jihadist puppy dogs. Hamas itself has thanked Carney personally three times publicly, for his help. Rather the PM mutters meaningless words about the violence which includes firebombing, shootings, vandalism, physical attacks on Jewish students, teachers and academics, that in fact blame the Jews in the end, and Jew hatred and Israel demonization is now being taught in schools from K-12, from propaganda material of the Teachers' Unions, especially in Ontario, and pro-Palestinian NGOs which are often connected to the Muslim Brotherhood, and its tentacles.
Because that would not be accurate. Bibi has problems, definitely. Israel has been a 'pariah state' since 1948 - the US State Dept, CIA, etc stood against Israel, and that's just within the US govt. The organized Arab boycott and eternal war with the support of the UN. Now, the organized Muslim organizations have co-opted US and European democratic openess - such as Center for American Islam Relations CAIR - and fund and incite chaos in the US education system and society.
He has turned Israel into a pariah state? He managed to save Israel, but that is the opposite of what you want. You want Israel eradicated so you can live with your Jew hating pals again and not be considered one of those “ evil” Jews. Well, guess what. Pre-war German Reform Jews thought they were untouchable as they were more German than the Germans and in the end died along side the Eastern European religious Jews who they despised. It appears you swallowed Hamas Pollywood propaganda because you wanted to. You do not blame the legacy progressive media which just like you, parroted Hamas propaganda, and did not blame Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran? You must be one of those self-hating Reformniks, or an old socialist hippie, who believe Jews must always accept being slaughtered and be happy as dead victims, like the” good, old days” of ghettos in Europe and pogroms. What did you want? Israel should have thanked Hamas for killing over 1200 Israelis on one day, and rewarded them with the Negev? 1200 Israelis works out to around 43 000 Americans. I guess the US should have apologized to the jihadists and rewarded them by declaring Sharia law in the US and the Eastern Seaboard would be now for Muslims only, rather than slaughtering tens of thousands of Afghanis and Iraqis.
I have my problems with Netanyahu, but this is bullshit. Constant blood libel, currently aided and abetted by AsAJews, have illegitimately made Israel a Pariah state. Yes, Netanyahu is corrupt and problematic, but he is more of a scapegoat than anything.
Clear, what has to be done: make being a fan of "Socialism", of a murderous surge for totalitarianism named "Intifada", of a mass murderer and fanatic Jew hater working with "Socialist" terrorists like the German"RAF" (Entebbe etc.) - Idi Amin - which openly the father of Mamdummy is, getting money for spreading this on "Elite Universities" - a CRIME again. Then, not only "America" will be "great again", and this without any jew hating "MAGA". Finally, condemn ALL forms of totalitarianism. If not, you can´t complain about forms of totalitarianism spreading out.
"Every synagogue in New York should host Israel evenings — same night, same hour." Agreed, and they should fill them with prominent Jewish and non-Jewish guest speakers, celebrities, etc.
Doubt you'd get Shumer and the rest of the Jewish Democrats to even acknowledge.
Great idea, and as an ex-Muslim Iranian-Canadian, I can only reinforce your argument: throughout the West—including Canada here —harassment of Jews should be pursued legally and politically. Antisemites must face meaningful consequences for every threat or act of intimidation.
The Muslim world wide religious war...has invaded the. US....
Islam is a cancer.
We should adopt truthful soundbites and spread them widely:
Mamdani attacked a synagogue and the Jews within.
He whitewashed outside attackers.
He blamed the Jewish victims for the violence against them.
He blood- libelled all synagogues by association.
He distorted the synagogue's purpose.
He sought to dictate how Jews should worship in their synagogues.
He accused Jews of perverting " sacred space"
He is ignorant of international law.
He mixed his hateful Islamic ideology with the security of NYC Jewish citizens.
He is a Jew-hater of the worst kind.

Absolutely. Same khazer.
Thank you for showing the historical parallels.
BTW, I read the article when it appeared. Brilliant.
Thank you! A year and a half ago, I explored the rich and tragic Jewish history of Vienna. https://substack.com/@thinktorah/p-150582621
In light of Mamdani's rise to prominence, I can't help but notice striking and unsettling parallels that deserve our attention.
I can't see the article, but when I visited Vienna, I didn't like the spiritual atmosphere. My husband didn't sense it. I had not heard about the treatment of Jews there. Then it made sense.
The likes of Solomon Negash reflect a total ignorance and stupidity.
New York’s Jews should rightly be concerned with the likes of Mamdani .. a self confessed rich anti semitic Muslim.
The FBI and United States Attorney's Office in the SDNY should investigate this "protest" as a federal violation of the FACE Act, which not only prohibits interference with access to birth clinics, but also prohibits interference with access to houses of worship.
And yet, of the Jews who voted in the election, over 30% of them voted for Mamdani. I have been vilified and ostracized by my liberal Jewish friends for saying this, but sadly, some Jews seem to have a suicide wish.
It’s despicable because they take us down with them. 70% of the normal Jews in NY now suffer.
Talking to Americans and what I’ve observed, Party seems to come above everything, whatever the Polices! “It’s my Party”, they say, so they don’t care if Harris uses word salad or Mamdani says he hates Jews. Why are there ‘Red States’ and ‘Blue States’? Here, I’ve voted for about 5 different Parties over the years.
That's the simple beauty of the American system. Instead of dividing your dislikes among 4 or 5 parties, you can concentrate on one. 😁
😂😂

We all know what happened to the Jews ✡️ 85 years ago.
Learn from history, do not ignore it!
I have read "Lone Wolf" the 2,000 page biography of Jabotinsky - ben Gurion hated him.
To me he's the greatest Zionist even today.
So did I. It's a great book.
Thank you for the link and reminding us of Jabotinsky's prescience - simple awareness of reality, history, and human behavior.

The best argument for the existence of the state of Israel is the current antisemitism we are seeing.
Jewish Democrats like Shapiro and Emanuel realize they have no future in the Democratic Party so they slowly water down their defense of Israel and Jews and hope to “manage” antisemites like Mamdani. How do you manage someone whose identity is rooted in the destruction of Israel? For too many Jewish Dems political survival is more important than moral courage.

Why is Netanyahu’s name not mentioned by anybody? He has turned Israel into a pariah state.
