New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani will not be participating in the 62nd Annual Israel Day Parade on Fifth Avenue tomorrow. That’s both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because I doubt many New Yorkers wish him to be there. Especially not with his wife. A curse because there was a time that politicians showed up to the opening of a mailbox.
Back in the day, politicians, like the mayor, never got political about things like parades, block parties and the like. The politicians would be there no matter if they had to crawl.
Reading between the slurs, Zohran Mamdani is an (allegedly) anti-Semite. Check this out from Fox News:
New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani won’t be attending the city’s annual Israel Day Parade on Sunday, a break from decades-long tradition, despite attending other events celebrating the city’s diverse cultural landscape.
Since 1964, every mayor in the city has attended the Jewish celebration, which comes amid record levels of antisemitism and weeks of anti-Israel demonstrations outside synagogues and Jewish communal institutions across New York.
Despite his absence, the mayor pledged to provide security and the necessary permits for the safety of those who will be participating.
