Mamdani rejects calls for apology after Upper West End stabbing
Arutz Sheva ^ | 25/7/26

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Friday rebuffed mounting pressure from Jewish community leaders urging him to apologize for past anti-Israel statements.

The refusal followed Thursday’s attack on the Upper West Side where a man wearing a kippah was stabbed on the fast day of Tisha B’Av by an attacker who yelled “Allahu Akbar" during the stabbing.

On Friday, the suspected stabber, 51-year-old Raul Morales, was charged with attempted murder as a hate crime, attempted murder, assault as a hate crime, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon, according to the NYPD.

Mamdani has long come under fire for his anti-Israel stance. This week, he published a video in which the mayor conceded that he lacked the authority to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visits New York City - a pledge he had made repeatedly during his campaign - while maintaining his characterization of Netanyahu as a "war criminal."

Stop wasting your breath, Jewish "community leaders". That just gives him another opportunity to pose. The whole thing is a waste.

Bad Cossack, bad. How dare you wave your sword around like that while galloping through our synagogue on Saturday morning during services.

GMAFB. Don't apologize, d!ck-head.

“Mamdani rejects calls for apology . . .”

That is a good headline right there.

Anyone quoted as rejecting calls for an apology has just lost a round in the headline fight.

The left is always eager to see a groveling apology. To read that an apology has been rejected is sure to cause consternation.

LOL seriously, Mamdani will NEVER apologize for anything. Id rather him say NOTHING than issue a fake apology which he doesnt mean anyway. Mamdani hates Jews, PERIOD..he is glad this man was stabbed, he’s just pissed he didnt die. He was in the process of moving to Florida to get away from Mamdani’s New York

Well yeah, that, absolutely he will. I can imagine what he was doing when he heard about this stabbing, probably telling his fellow Jew haters in the room “I hope he’s dead”

Mamdani is one of the jihadists, with a smile.

Just wait until Netanyahu comes to town.
Mamdani has said people should stage protests. Inevitably there will be some violence.
All these happenings (like refusing to apologize for incendiary language) can be used as evidence for inciting a riot.
Mamdani is on his way to being deported.

Yeh. String him along. F@#$ him and his “apology,” even if he offers one. Just like the leftards do to their targets.

Empty words are ALL that matters, dontcha know. Man gets stabbed. Woman gets thrown on tracks. Kvall out the cliches! Send in the clowns! Eat Sugary Alpha-Bits for your well-balanced breakfast! Tune in next heinous crime, same bat time, same bat channel! Same empty words. HOOOHA! We stand together as a community. We’re all in this together with the one-legged midgets of color (holy crap, where’d they find this one) community to condemn these hate crimes. Attacks on one-legged midgets of color have gone up 100% since yesterday. Yup. We stand together with them. Diversity is our strength. We need more common-sense knife and baseball bat control laws.

Mandami has asked New Yorkers to go and protest Netanyahu when he arrives for the UN.

Since Trump was prosecuted for a statement to protest on Jan 6, so too should Mandami be prosecuted.

No one is above the law.

The Left holds that it is quite possible to be anti Zionist ,anti Israel, support Hamas, ignore the slaughter on October 7, the abuse and murder of hostages but not be anti Semitic. Given the level of electoral and financial support he receives from large segements of the Jewish community, its easy to see how the pleas of the rabbi’s will fall on deaf ears.

Borat actually was speaking modern Hebrew throughout the film, with a funny accent so it sounded Slavic.
