Mamdani Protects Rights of Muslim Mobs to Attack Jews

After the latest round of Muslim attacks on synagogues and Jewish communities in New York City, the state and city proposed buffer zones around houses of worship and schools.

The New York City Council voted on two bills, one to create a buffer zone around houses of worship and another to create a buffer zone around schools for protests.

Mamdani came out against both, but the houses of worship buffer zone bill was watered down so it does little more than ask the NYPD to take steps to respond to mobs attacking houses of worship.

This meaningless bill passed by a veto-proof majority, so Mamdani can’t do anything about it, but signaled that he wouldn’t veto it.

Media stories bizarrely kept calling the bill “controversial”. But mobs attacking houses of worship isn’t ‘controversial’.

The schools bill did not pass by a veto proof so Mamdani is going to veto it, arguing that “everywhere from universities to museums to teaching hospitals could face restrictions… this could impact workers protesting ICE, or college students demanding their school divest from fossil fuels or demonstrating in support of Palestinian rights.”

Mamdani, doing his best 99 cent store version of Obama, didn’t clarify why there have to be protests against immigration law or oil and gas or Jews at colleges, museums and, of all places, teaching hospitals.

But yes, that last one, mobs waving Islamic terror flags, is what it’s all about.

Gov. Hochul, who’s running for election, is promising state action with a 25 foot buffer zone around houses of worship. Watered down from 100 feet. This would be an improvement, but it would have to get past the legislature without being watered down into meaninglessness, the way the council bill was, and enforcing it would be Attorney General Letitia James, who when the mobs were attacking, investigated Jews who defended themselves, not the terrorist mobs attacking them.

So don’t expect much without federal civil rights intervention.
