New York City is home to the largest Jewish population outside Israel, and this year that community is paying a price for who currently sits in Gracie Mansion. Concerns escalated after Mamdani called for Netanyahu's arrest, and days later, a man stabbed a Jewish man in Manhattan in an attack police classified as a hate crime. "This is a mayor who has spent his career using divisive rhetoric, particularly aimed at the Jewish community," Berger said. Mark Treyger, chief executive of the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, said the video served no governing purpose beyond racking up online engagement. New Yorkers elected a blatantly antisemitic mayor, and they are getting exactly the city that comes with that choice.
