This is just horrible for our Jewish friends in NYC... Zohran Kwame Mamdani, the Mayor of New York City, has revoked the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) definition of anti-Semitism a definition widely recognized as a critical tool for identifying and confronting modern anti-Semitism.
At the same time, he rescinded an executive order prohibiting New York City employees from participating in the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel.
These actions matter... By removing the IHRA definition, Mayor Mamdani has weakened protections for Jewish communities, making it harder to identify anti-Semitism when it disguises itself as “criticism of Israel.” By lifting restrictions on BDS, he has reopened the door for city-sanctioned discrimination against the Jewish People.
Let’s be clear Free speech does not protect hate speech. And anti-Semitism whether overt or rebranded is hate. What is happening in New York is not isolated. It is part of a broader, coordinated effort to normalize anti-Semitism, delegitimize Israel, and silence those who speak their biblical truths.
As anti-Semitism becomes more embedded in public policy and civic life because of this evil thinking. Silence is not an option. We Americans need to protect the Jewish people who are attacked, and standing firm for truth, for Israel, and for biblical justice. Everyone has the right to freedom of speech, and worship in this country, and i'm agnostic I don't practice any religion, and I'm 100% against this move by Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
