WOW! Mamdani must have been lurking on obscure websites.
You know the sites. 25-30 followers. Sometimes five or six of them will make up to 300 comments. Filled with racism, bigotry, and hate speech. It seems as if the New York mayor took a page from their antisemitism.
Several Adams executive orders that delt with antisemitism were removed by Mamdani. Adams had issued an executive order adopting the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism, as well as another that barred city officials from boycotting or divesting from Israel. But those were nixed when Mamdani moved to reverse executive orders issued by Adams.
Among them was an order Adams issued earlier this month that pushed back against Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions, a movement that supports putting economic pressure on Israel’s government and Israeli companies in protest of the country’s treatment of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank.
Mamdani’s office also said he’s retaining — but making some unspecified amendments to — an order Adams issued directing the NYPD to restrict protests from taking place outside houses of worship. Adams issued that order after pro-Palestinian activists staged a rowdy protest outside a synagogue on the Upper East Side.
