New York’s Jews after Mamdani’s victory
No Delusions, No Despair ^ | 11 July 2025 | Benjamin Kerstein

Posted on 07/13/2025 8:05:53 AM PDT by Rummyfan

As the title of this newsletter suggests, I do not care for delusions, and we should have none.

It is all-important, then, to acknowledge the fact that Zohran Mamdani will unquestionably be the next mayor of New York. There are too many votes in cheap populist demagoguery and hating the Jews to stop him.

So, the question now is not how to prevent a Mamdani victory. The question is how the Jews ought to deal with the fact that an open antisemite will soon rule America’s leading—if declining—city with its million-strong Jewish minority.

There would seem to be four options:

Quiescence

Historically, Diaspora Jews’ default option has been to keep quiet, avoid trouble, and hope for the best. This strategy has been somewhat viable in the short term, but it always fails in the long term, with devastating consequences. Despite this, it has been learned over centuries and will likely be the initial reaction to Mamdani’s election.

Indeed, it has already been effectively adopted by America’s decadent and depraved Jewish leadership. These so-called “leaders have said little if anything against Mamdani, for obvious reasons: They are prisoners of their own privilege and their useless loyalties to Democratic Party and progressive politics.

Adams can't win.

He's a friend of President Trump.

And that is the reason why, they'd rather have Mamdani than vote for Adams. As of the last poll I saw, he's running fourth. The only candidate with any chance is Sliwa- if he was running as an Independent too he'd have an excellent chance.

Has the author considered the effect of all voting age Jews voting for the Republican candidate?

“A ‘Democrat’ who’s somewhat pragmatic.”

I think I read that EA used to be Republican.

“Orthodox Jews vote GOP.”

They certainly do get it...but the rest, where most of the money is, voted and funded EXACTLY what is now going to happen to them in NY City.

It started death spiral when formerly tough, smart, sharp as a tack, resilient New Yorkers elected and allowed themselves to be bullied by the punk-ass Bloomberg and his smoking ban, soft drink and sugar limits, or anything else the little prick wanted to control. Reap the whirlwind fools.

This anti=American IslamoNazi will cause tremendous damage (given NYC’s financial and cultural prominence in USA especially).
He’s poison from all reports and accounts.
