Eric Adams heading to Greece for anti-Semitism conference, Qatar to ‘learn more’ about hosting World Cup

The Big Apple’s jet-setting chief executive, Mayor Eric Adams, is heading to Athens, Greece for a conference on anti-Semitism and Doha, Qatar, to “learn more” about co-hosting the World Cup. 

According to a copy of Adams’ public schedule released Friday, Hizzoner will head to Athens on Nov. 30 to attend the 2022 Mayors Summit Against Antisemitism. 

The trip comes soon after the NYPD and federal law enforcement prevented an attempted attack on city synagogues by would-be terrorists Matthew Mahrer and Christopher Brown.

Adams will then head to Doha, Qatar on Dec. 1 and stay until Dec. 4 — to “learn more” about the 2022 FIFA World Cup games.

New York and New Jersey were selected to jointly host the 2026 World Cup at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. 

Qatar has faced intense scrutiny over this year’s tournament — as allegations of human rights violations, alleged corruption tied to the country’s bid to host the competition and the country’s homophobic laws.

Adams’ schedule says the mayor will meet with government officials, security and economic development leaders.

When asked by The Post for more details tied to the meetings, or whether the trip is taxpayer, campaign or personally funded, City Hall said the final details are still being worked out.

Luckily NYC is perfect and devoid of crime and anti-Semitic behavior.
Especially in Bed-Sty…

Imagine an entire conference dedicated to combatting anti-white/anti-Christian efforts.

That’s racist of course.
That’s also why I am not a turn the other cheek type of guy.
I’m more of a break their jaw type.

All this moron has do to is dig out Giuliani’s old policies, rename them, implement them and enjoy a low crime city.

But he is too dumb to even figure that part out.

If he just did that and did nothing else for rest of his term, he would be a “great mayor” and win re-election in a breeze.

"Turn the other cheek" does not mean you allow yourself to get beat up. It means...

1. That you bear insults without resorting to violence, and

2. That if you are attacked, you use no more force than necessary to defend yourself. No retaliation after you have subdued the attacker.

Going to Qatar for some new ideas on how to govern and on the taxpayers money. That’s awfully high and mighty of the criminal in charge of NYC.

Is Adams going to be mayor for the 2026 NY/NJ World Cup to make it worthwhile to “learn more” from Qatar?

Because of the World Cup, what would be called “Islamophobia” if conservatives did it - criticizing Islamic teachings and practices - is suddenly allowed on the Left. This is probably because there is a direct conflict between the globalists and Islam, and the globalists are finally being forced to show their true colors. Islam, like Christianity, must bend to the globalists or be crushed.

That seems a rather tortuous interpretation of the passage, but it’s none of my business.
