<p style="font-weight: 400;">For decades, New York City mayors — from John Lindsay to Eric Adams — understood that standing with the Jewish community wasn’t just a political tradition; it was a moral imperative. They marched up Fifth Avenue in the Celebrate Israel Parade, <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uvVtu7iSfT4">built sukkahs</a> for visiting Israeli prime ministers, and declared themselves &#8220;brothers&#8221; to a community that forms the very backbone of the Big Apple.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">But in 2026, that tradition has been unceremoniously torched by leftist Mayor Zohran Mamdani.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="1">Mamdani’s refusal to attend the Israel Day on Fifth parade is more than just a scheduling conflict; it is a calculated, partisan boycott. As Assemblyman Michael Novakhov (R-Brooklyn) rightly noted, this is a &#8220;disgraceful insult&#8221; to Jewish New Yorkers.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Zohran Mamdani has officially confirmed that he will boycott New York City’s Israel Day Parade — becoming the face of a Democratic Party now controlled by radical anti-Israel extremists.</p>
<p>After weeks of antisemitic chaos outside synagogues across our city, this should surprise… <a href="https://t.co/rhKZzxZPU0">pic.twitter.com/rhKZzxZPU0</a></p>
<p>&mdash; Michael Novakhov (@MichaelforNY) <a href="https://twitter.com/MichaelforNY/status/2054593999097225375?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">May 13, 2026</a></p></blockquote>
<p>For a mayor to snub an event that brings 50,000 marchers to the streets — an event every mayor since Robert Wagner in 1964 has honored — is nothing short of a radical break from the city’s identity.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="2">While Mamdani claims he won’t attend a parade for a state with a &#8220;system of hierarchy on the basis of religion,&#8221; his calendar tells a different story. This is the same man who proudly marched in the Pakistan Independence Day parade. Apparently, a state that enforces brutal blasphemy laws and enshrines a specific religion in its governance is perfectly fine for a photo-op, but the world’s only Jewish state is a bridge too far.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="3">On Thursday, while the Jewish community reels from Mamdani&#8217;s snub, City Hall is celebrating &#8220;Muslim Day.&#8221; The contrast is staggering. While Mamdani and New York City&#8217;s government find the energy to host press conferences for his preferred constituencies, he exhibits a pathetic lassitude toward the antisemitic rot festering in his own streets.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Yet another one of these events planned at City Hall this week.</p>
<p>Particularly tone deaf after the violence we’ve seen directed at synagogues and Jewish neighborhoods over the past few days, but they REALLY want to make sure we understand who’s in charge now. <a href="https://t.co/q5vlXpkpii">pic.twitter.com/q5vlXpkpii</a></p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="4">In neighborhoods like Midwood, the &#8220;mob&#8221; that Novakhov warned about is <a href="https://x.com/EricLDaugh/status/2054153512422944809?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E2054153512422944809%7Ctwgr%5Ea93ea06288579be4d5f10e6ec74cc83c12314519%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fnews.dailywire.com%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php%3Fpost%3D1095129action%3Dedit">already here</a>. In the streets, &#8220;anti-Zionist&#8221; thugs have waved Hezbollah flags, shouting &#8220;Globalize the Intifada&#8221; and screaming &#8220;Remember Khaybar&#8221; — a chilling reference to the 7th-century slaughter and subjugation of Jews. Women have been dragged by their hair and residents harassed in their own doorways by masked agitators shouting &#8220;baby killer.&#8221;</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="5">And where is the mayor? He is busy evading questions about his double standards and hiding behind bureaucratic platitudes about &#8220;equal rights.&#8221; His administration’s response to these intimidation tactics has been one of profound indifference.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">It’s almost 48 hours since <a href="https://twitter.com/WOLPalestine?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@WOLPalestine</a> &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/PAL_Awda?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@PAL_Awda</a> terrorized the Jewish community in Brooklyn.  </p>
<p>Yet, not a word from the Boy <a href="https://twitter.com/NYCMayor?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NYCMayor</a> on X condemning the conduct of groups associated with <a href="https://twitter.com/NerdeenKiswani?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@NerdeenKiswani</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/lsarsour?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@lsarsour</a> doing so.</p>
<p>But tomorrow it’s Muslim Day at City Hall. <a href="https://t.co/6xc2Q9TYnv">https://t.co/6xc2Q9TYnv</a> <a href="https://t.co/XaEcRxGEOA">pic.twitter.com/XaEcRxGEOA</a></p>

<p style="font-weight: 400;">While the City Council recently <a href="https://www.timesofisrael.com/mamdani-vetoes-school-buffer-zone-bill-leading-jewish-groups-pan-profound-failure/">passed legislation</a> to protect houses of worship from these vitriolic sieges, the police are still waiting for the green light to actually enforce it.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;" data-path-to-node="6">Mamdani’s boycott isn&#8217;t a principled stand for human rights; it is a signal to the most radical elements of his base that the Jewish community is fair game. By refusing to stand with Israel, he has chosen to stand with the Jew-hating mob that feels increasingly emboldened under his watch.</p>
