New Yorkers faced the choice of a miscreant former governor and a radical Democrat socialist for the position of mayor in the Democrat primary. Prior to Zohran Mamdani’s election in the primary, his absurd and speculative plans to provide all kinds of freebies to the citizenry were the talk of the town:
Mamdani’s platform focused on a number of issues that have animated socialists in the Democratic Party, including raising the minimum wage, hiking taxes on corporations and wealthy Americans, cracking down on delivery apps, as well as investing in affordable housing and creating city-owned grocery stores.
His campaign proposes a new minimum wage law that would raise the wage floor for jobs in the city to $30 an hour by 2030, which would then be automatically increased
Mamdani has proposed raising the corporate tax rate in New York City to match the state of New Jersey’s tax rate of 11.5%, which his campaign believes will bring in $5 billion.
His extreme proposals go even further than that, but once you move beyond his economic agenda, what’s genuinely repugnant (as opposed to merely stupid) is his attitude toward Jews and Israel. Even so, many New York Jews voted for him. It’s worth noting his offensive positions and then reviewing why Jews may still have helped to elect him.
Here are some of his positions regarding Jews and Israel, positions even the left-leaning Forward seems to find troublesome:
During the campaign, Mamdani did not shy away from controversies, Jewish and otherwise. He said he would not visit Israel, breaking with a tradition upheld by mayors since 1951 to show solidarity with the fledgling nation and with Jewish constituents at home.

Most will vote for him.
Now, I understand that JINOs are not educated in their faith, so they have little knowledge in the doctrine of consequences.
However, the Torah observant Jew should have been able to see, from a mile away, what it meant to get Mambai elected.
Jews own NYC. Good luck with that.
But... Adams still has a chance.
Bring the train cars!
The death cult hates Jews. There is every reason to believe that this man will implement measures designed to punish Jews for being the main object of hatred in the death cult.
THIS makes MORE SENSE THAN ANYTHING ELSE I’bve READ!!
I thought “JFeed” (above) said they all are voting for the Crazy Rapper Camel Jockey.
It used to be 25% Jewish. Now it's probably at 10%.
“proposed raising the corporate tax rate in New York City to match the state of New Jersey’s tax rate of 11.5%, which his campaign believes will bring in $5 billion.”
Corporations are not going to sit there and take it on the chin. They’ll just move to another city or state.
He wants “Arbeit Macht Frei” in wrought iron over Gracie Mansion.
yes he will!
I want to drive muzzies out of existance.
According to Adams, Momdani can’t do most of the stuff he’s been promising. He apparently knows nothing about how things get done in a major city.
