The other day, New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, angry that he could not arrest Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when the latter comes to the Big Apple for the UN General Assembly in September, told New York leftists to go and protest the visit.
Many saw it as a tacit call to violence, given that Mamdani has repeatedly called Netanyahu a "war criminal" who "orchestrated a genocide" in Gaza.
Mamdani is doubling down on that rhetoric, saying the "bedrock" of New York City is protest. Meanwhile, Jewish leaders are pushing back, warning that the rhetoric shows Mamdani "willing to risk inciting further violence based on misinformation,"
"I think the bedrocks of our city is protest."

Shortly after Mamdani's original call for protests, a man who shouted "Allahu Akbar" stabbed an Asian man and a Jewish man in the city.
The bedrock of the city is capitalism.

Yes, it is.
Flat, soulless, dead eyes.

Lots of people pointed that out.
He has such dead, evil eyes. Perhaps that's why @ZohranKMamdani hides behind that oily smile.

Once you notice it, you can't help but keep noticing it.
He wants violence and dead Jews.

Hard to argue otherwise.
There's a reason his handlers coached him to wear that caricature smile at all times...it hides those evil commie eyes. https://t.co/QFayEK0vIo

I don’t know how this is legal. He’s calling for the people of NYC to form a mob to make anyone who supports Israel (Jews) feel unsafe and unwelcome.
I don’t see how NYC recovers from this s**t. This is straight out of 1930s Germany… https://t.co/klwJiXWXyf
The Left sees Nazi dog whistles in everything any Republican says or does, but they don't see any problem with the rhetoric of guys like Mamdani.
This scumabg Mamdani, will get people hurt; his incitements are designed to try to scare PM Netanyahu into canceling his visit. But he will not cancel, and when the riots start, Jews will get hurt; that's what he wants, and he doesn't care https://t.co/bU4946htpW

The NYPD warned that the city is on the edge of chaos, and they're not happy with Mamdani for encouraging and inciting protests that could, and probably will, devolve into violence and riots.
