One of the most frightening aspects is the appearance of selective standards. If aggressive anti-Israel or openly pro-Hamas rhetoric is tolerated, rationalized, or ignored while pro-Israel Jewish groups are aggressively scrutinized or targeted, people naturally begin feeling that equal standards are no longer being applied consistently.
What also stood out to me is how much this reflects a broader institutional trend we now see across universities, activist organizations, media, politics, and cultural institutions: identity politics increasingly determining moral legitimacy instead of consistent principles being applied equally to everyone.
In 1947 when I was born there were over 2 million Jews and about zero Muslims in NYC. Now there are 1,000,000 Jews and between 750,000 and 1,000,000 Muslims.
If I am a Democrat I don't need the Jews - I need the Muslims.
2025 primary votes
470,000 - Mamdani
390,000 - Cuomo
You would think the Jewish population of NYC of one million had better survival instincts, but apparently not. Mamdani was about as clear as what he would do to Jews as the author of Mein Kampf. Not the severity but the vector. I live in Montana and clearly saw it from here.

Good luck NYC.
NYC is no longer a Jewish city as it was so often viewed
All the jew hating mobs should perhaps be referred to as THE JAMES GANGS. The modern day GANGS OF NEW YORK
Ms James is only one of the “progressive” politicians who have cast their lot with the ever increasing numbers of anti-Jews.
To me there is nothing “progressive “ about this.
Fortunately there are people like Rep. Ritchie Torres who back Israel.
Unfortunately, the numbers of supporters of Israel and the Jewish people in politics is shrinking.
There is a reason why NY is losing population in general, wealthy individuals and whole industries. This is just one tiny facet of it.
