Among the orders Mamdani scrapped was one adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of antisemitism…
Mamdani also axed an order that had barred city officials from using their positions and taxpayer dollars to participate in boycotts or divestment campaigns targeting Israel. But even worse is Mamdani’s killing of the executive order that required the NYPD to increase police presence around synagogues and establish no-protest zones near houses of worship to shield Jewish New Yorkers from harassment.
The message Mamdani sent on day one is loud and clear. Synagogues don’t need extra security. Jewish worshippers don’t deserve safe spaces. The globally accepted definition of antisemitism doesn’t matter. City resources can be used to target Israel. This is a betrayal of the city’s Jewish community and a green light to those who would harass, intimidate, or worse.
