Mayor Zohran Mamdani last week tore off the mask: He’s going full-on antisemite. At last Thursday’s rally for his slate of extremist House candidates — Brad Lander, Darializa Avila Chevalier and Claire Valdez — Mamdani railed that we’re now living in a “time of monsters.” Who are these monsters? Though they “take many forms,” it’s … AIPAC. Yep: Per Mamdani, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee is the heart of all evil; the only thing it fears more than democracy “is an end to genocide.” Reality check: AIPAC is an entirely legal political outfit that operates like dozens of other...

A Jewish civil rights group is urging the Justice Department to investigate Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his administration for alleged “discriminatory failure to protect Jewish residents from antisemitic hate” crimes. The bombshell accusations from the National Jewish Advocacy Center come two days after the Poetica Coffee shop in Brooklyn told pro-Israel Jewish Rep. Dan Goldman never to enter the eatery again, claiming it doesn’t serve “genocdial enablers.” “The National Jewish Advocacy Center writes to request that the Civil Rights Division open an investigation, under its pattern-or-practice authority … into whether the City of New York and the New York City...

Far-left House candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier couldn't stand up to the questioning of mere radio hosts — abruptly ending the interview and storming out of the station. The dust up Tuesday morning unfolded when the La Mega radio hosts pressed the Mamdani-backed candidates in the NY13 race on her old social posts. The thin-skin socialist was set off when one of the hosts pressed her on a now-deleted post that referred to the Dominican flag as "violent" and decried the "f------ nationalism" of putting the flag in her profile. "As a Dominican, I come back and say it, I am...

Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson taunted Zohran Mamdani over his war on Wall Street — claiming that the Big Apple mayor’s antagonism is accelerating a stampede of businesses down to the booming Texas city. In an exclusive interview with The Post, the Republican mayor of Dallas — the fast-growing metropolis that financiers have branded “Y’all Street” — revealed that the migration of corporate titans out of New York is “only getting stronger” after the first six months of the Mamdani administration. “Mayor Mamdani might be the best thing for Dallas business to ever happen to the city, other than our not...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani and his so-called “Hamas slate’’ of local congressional candidates were interviewed last week by a terror-group sympathizer in a get-out-the-vote effort for Tuesday’s primary election. Accused hater Bartley Blakeley — who has several hundred thousand online followers across various platforms — posted her chats on Instagram with the far-left mayor and three House candidates he has endorsed: Brad Lander, Claire Valdez and Darializa Avila Chevalier. “I call it the Hamas slate. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of support for the Hamas slate,” said Dov Hikind, a former Brooklyn state assemblyman who is founder of Americans Against Antisemitism. “The...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani crony and far-left congressional candidate Darializa Avila Chevalier has claimed the US has committed worse atrocities than the terror group Hamas. Chevalier made the shocking assertion in June 2021 — two years before the terrorists would launch their widespread Oct. 7 slaughter of innocent Israelis — while responding to a Twitter post from someone saying, “I agree the US wanton violence is categorically incomparable to the worst things Hamas has ever done or ever could do.” Chevalier wrote, “Only one is a nuclear power that’s ever used that kind of force 😶” — likely referring to the...

As hate crimes surge at an alarming rate—up 150% in just one month—the Islamo-socialist mayor’s legacy is increasingly being defined by that grim statistic: the “Hate Crime Mayor.”Congratulations-NOT - Islamo-Socialist Mamdani is officially the 'HATE CRIME MAYOR'. Anti-Jewish hate surging at ‘staggering margin’ in NYC, up 150% last month, by some NYPD metrics. JNS. June 12, 2026. *

Two ex-mayors, Gov. Kathy Hochul and NYPD Commish Jessica Tisch stood in solidary with the Big Apple’s Jewish community at the Israel Day Parade on Sunday, while Mayor Zohran Mamdani instead spent the day touting his 2029 re-election bid — and riding his bike. Former Mayors Eric Adams and Michael Bloomberg joined the unifying celebration along with thousands of New Yorkers on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, as did Hochul, the city’s top cop and a slew of other leaders and elected officials across the state. Bloomberg, a staunch Israel supporter who marched in the parade for all 12 years he...

A far-left New York congressional hopeful who just snagged Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s endorsement spewed radical and hateful views online — trashing cops, establishment Democrats and calling the US “a f–ing disgrace.” Darializa Avila Chevalier’s disturbing social media history came to light as Mamdani on Thursday night shockingly endorsed her bid to unseat five-term incumbent Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY). “I’ve voted in every election since I turned 18 but you out of your mind if you think I’m voting for a war criminal,” she wrote in 2020, using a since-deleted X account. “This country is a f—ing disgrace,” she added. A...

Annual Salute to Israel Parade on Fifth Avenue will take place without New York City’s mayor; organizers expect record attendance and a strong presence of Israeli official representatives.

Mayor Zohran Mamdani boasted Thursday that the Big Apple will hold a lottery for 1,000 discounted FIFA World Cup tickets for lucky winners – after the city kicked-in $90 million for the tournament. The tickets will be $50 for those lucky enough to win the pitch, coming with free round-trip bus rides to the matches in New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium, Mamdani announced during an event in Harlem. The soccer-loving socialist made a show of contending no taxpayer money directly went toward the low-cost tickets – an assertion that quickly had insiders crying foul. “FIFA will be raking in billions with...

Zohran Mamdani’s “apology tour” to quell the business community’s outrage over his bizarre social media posting targeting fellow business leader Ken Griffin didn’t include much apologizing, The Post has learned. In fact, Griffin’s name and Mamdani’s “creepy” stunt — where he stood outside the Citadel chief’s penthouse to brag about taxing the rich — never came up in the confabs Monday with two of the biggest CEOs on Mamdani’s agenda, Jamie Dimon, the chief of mega bank JP Morgan and David Solomon, the CEO of investment banking giant Goldman Sachs. Don’t blame our Marxist mayor for ignoring the obvious —...

Mayor Zohran Mamdani was blasted for “corrupting history” about the creation of Israel in a vile social media post paying tribute to Palestinians – sent out just before Jewish New Yorkers observed Shabbat. Mamdani, a staunch critic of Israel, honored “Nakba Day” – marking what Palestinians call the “catastrophe” of the Jewish State’s declaration of independence on May 14, 1948 – in a Friday night post, that included a polished video interview with “Nakba survivor” and city resident Inea Bushnaq. “Today marks Nakba Day, an annual remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949...

He’s being placeholder-ed in an awkward position. Mayor Zohran Mamdani could be forced to release his executive budget Tuesday with “placeholder” estimates on key sources of revenue, after he tried to rely on dysfunction-riddled Albany to reach a deal on its own spending plan and bail out the Big Apple, insiders revealed. The potential fill-in-the-blanks city budget plan is exactly what Mamdani tried to avert when he delayed its release from May 1 in hopes that Gov. Kathy Hochul and state lawmakers would reach a deal on its own long-delayed budget and give the city a windfall of new tax...

Already missing from the news cycle is the story of Muslim leader Siraj Wahhaj, who alerted authorities to the squalid conditions in New Mexico in which his son, two daughters, another man and woman, and 11 children were living.Authorities arrived at the compound to some of the most horrifying conditions they had ever seen, and prosecutors identified the makeshift home as a training ground for militant children, including in carrying out school shootings. The imam’s son had been wanted for kidnapping his own four-year-old child, who had severe disabilities. The body of a young child was recovered from the...

Don’t break up because of that Mam! New York leaders are desperately trying to stop billionaire bigwigs from hightailing it out of the Big Apple with their cash, businesses and thousands of jobs — as fears mount that Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s policies will accelerate the Empire State’s nation-leading loss of wealth. The splashy one-two punch of Citadel CEO Ken Griffin and Apollo Global Management honcho Marc Rowan pledging to expand outside New York City has been coupled with a silent wave of businesses “quiet quitting” the city over its hostile environment, insiders told The Post. The burgeoning biz bolt has...

Socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani said there is no room for pro-Israel voters within his coalition, arguing that fellow Democrats should not make "an exception" for people who are "progressive except Palestine." The Democratic nominee said his long history of anti-Israel activism—which includes founding the Bowdoin College chapter of the extremist and terror-aligned Students for Justice in Palestine organization—informs his belief that pro-Israel liberals should be driven out of the left.

A lawless mob wreaked fiery havoc on a Queens intersection during a late-night car takeover as local lawmakers demand a crackdown on these unhinged meetups. Shocking video shows reckless drivers whipping around the intersection at 69th Street and Eliot Avenue in Queens early Saturday morning. Over 100 vehicles clogged up the roads along the Maspeth-Middle Village border. A man appeared to wave a Palestinian flag as he burned rubber, just narrowly missing those standing around the car while it made donuts around a massive street blaze. Flames arose from the street as hordes of brazen participants filmed the dangerous drivers...

New York City grocers are lobbying Council Speaker Julie Menin to oppose Mayor Mamdani’s plan to open city-run grocery stores — and are optimistic that she’ll take their side after she issued a cool response to the controversial proposal earlier this week, The Post has learned. The grocers are fast-tracking outreach to the Manhattan Dem and other Council members, who are expected to get a vote on whether to fund Mamdani’s plan that calls for $30 million for one grocery store alone, insiders said. “This is just five days old but we are doing what we can to reach [Council...

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani marked his first 100 days in office Sunday alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, a democratic socialist, touting what he described as sweeping achievements driven by government intervention. Mamdani cited key wins, including securing $1.2 billion for universal childcare, advancing plans for five publicly owned grocery stores, pursuing legal action against landlords and boosting investment in services such as sanitation and infrastructure. In a reference to former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and her critique that socialists "eventually run out of other people’s money," Mamdani defended his administration’s approach. "I have thought often of the Margaret...
