‘REMOVE MAMDANI’: Hundreds Flood NYC Streets After Jewish Stabbing

A protest organized by End Jew Hatred took place in New York City Sunday, as hundreds of Jewish New Yorkers and their allies poured into the streets to express their anger at NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who they say is not only not protecting the Jews of New York but is also fanning the flames of hatred with his obsession with Israel and statements about AIPAC, such as calling its members “monsters,” that are perceived by many to be antisemitic.

But the straw that may have broken the proverbial camel’s back was last week’s stabbing of a Jewish man and an Asian man by a crazed individual shouting “Allahu Akbar.”

At a press conference Friday, Jewish leaders slammed the mayor.

“Today, every time the mayor speaks, we need the police to protect us,” Rabbi Yosie Levine of the Jewish Center said.

“Mayor Mamdani, stop fanning the flames of hatred and division,” said Eric Goldstein, CEO of UJA-Federation of New York. “The consequences are not abstract. They’re playing out on our streets.”

As Sunday’s protesters gathered in the streets of New York, chants of “Remove Mamdani” filled the air, along with calls for Mamdani to be fired.

A non-Jewish ally told Newsmax why she thought it was important to attend the rally.

“I feel like we have to stand up for the United States of America,” she said. “I don’t want it to get so far gone that we’re like, why was I silent? We can’t be silent. This man [Mamdani] is a danger. He is a charismatic man. We got to give him that, and he’s appealing to people that are not naturally born Americans, people that don’t really have a connection to this country.”

“I think Jewish people are part of the fabric of our country,” she added. “I’m Catholic, and I believe that our country is first and foremost in everything we do.”

Another protester called for Mamdani to be arrested, turning the tables on the mayor who said he would arrest Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, then conceded that that exceeded his legal authority.

“I’m strong to support Israel and be there for America and Israel, for the freedom and for the sake of freedom,” she shouted into a microphone. “That’s what we stand for, not for terrorism. You got it, Mamdani? You should be arrested. You and your disgraceful, ugly wife.”
