US EditionZohran Mamdani’s Handling of Protest Outside Synagogue Further Worries NYC Jewish Leaders | News Channel 3-12
Mamdani's response drew criticism for not explicitly condemning the mob that intimidated synagogue attendees during a Palestine activists' protest, raising concerns about religious liberty protection.
- On Wednesday evening, a mob of Palestine activists stormed the entrance to Park East Synagogue on Manhattan's Upper East Side, confronting families and worshippers.
- Targeting focused on an event linked to Nefesh B'Nefesh, which helps Americans and Canadians move to Israel, with protesters calling El Al 'Genocide Settler Airlines,' according to the Palestinian Assembly for Liberation.
- Protesters chanted slogans including `Death, death to the IDF` and `From New York to Gaza, globalize the intifada`, while an agitator said `We need to make them scared`.
- Critics called Mamdani's response milquetoast and an alarming equivocation, while Dora Pekec, spokesperson for the mayor-elect, said Mamdani discouraged the protest's language and will continue to do so.
- Mr. Mamdani has repeatedly invoked `international law`, saying a city should uphold it, and previously told the Times he would order the NYPD to arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over an ICC warrant.
