Modi, Leo and Shai are heroes of the Jewish people 🩵 It’s really important to be clear that Mamdani is an Antizionist (one word). Antizionism is a hate movement against Jews just as antisemitism is a hate movement against Jews. Anti-Zionism was the debate between Jews on whether it was safer to live in their own country or to continue to live in other countries and the Holocaust proved the latter wrong. Just as antisemitism is not a debate about Semitism, antizionism is not a debate about Zionism. Both are hate movements against Jews.
Modi has earned my respect. What he did showed something that has been missing far too often — self-respect and the willingness to draw a line. Too many Jewish leaders, institutions, and even celebrities seem unwilling to do that. They show up, smile for the photo, and convince themselves that “engagement” is the same thing as standing up for their own community.
In reality, far too many of our major organizations prefer not to be confrontational. They would rather stay in the room, keep their access, and avoid upsetting the powers that be — even when the people they are legitimizing openly undermine Israel or tolerate antisemitism.
Modi simply refused to play that game. And frankly, more people in positions of influence should be doing the same.
WOW!!! Love Modi even more now.
Who thought it was possible?! Me too!

Manhattan Jews are the metaphorical boiled frogs
Not YET…….all is not lost.
Modi should be talking an every major synagogue in the country.
Don,t blame the idiot Mandumy when we are the ones that do nothing to stop him and his whore of a wife!
Modi is a hero. Kol ha Kavod!

Love Modi and Leo!Thank you for standing up !
You would think there are more Moslems than Jews in NYC but there aren't. Total nebbishes compared to Israeli Jews.
Mamdani has made clear who he is by his words and actions. Modi did the right thing.
R E S P E C T ! !
Reminds me of that old song ‘The Backstabbers’. “Lying to your face, all the time they wanna take your place, the backstabbers”
So proud of you Modi.
A man of principal. Screw the people who want to us us for their own purposes, we do not need them.
Michael Dorf has run the Annual Downtown Seder since 1993? Disgusting and worse than Mamdanifuck
Thank you for this article. Self-respect and dignity are of the utmost importance. None of the Jews attending this event have it.
