Quick Summary

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended a memorial for victims of the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks in Israel that occurred three years prior. The article suggests that Mamdani's supporters do not care about governance details and implies he should have expected this due to his own actions. It also notes that New York has a significant Jewish population whose support for Mamdani is declining, likely because of his political base described as "hateful communist."

Story summary

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani attended a memorial last week for 1,200 Israeli civilians killed in Palestinian terrorist attacks three years ago. According to the Washington Examiner, Mamdani's attendance was seen as insincere by his critics, who believe he only did it to appease New York’s significant Jewish community rather than out of genuine concern for the victims. The article suggests that this move has further alienated Mamdani from his base, which is increasingly critical of him due to perceived political opportunism.

Narrative

No one is (or, at least, should be) under the impression that Mamdani actually cares about the 1,200 Israeli civilians who were murdered by Palestinian terrorists, but attending the memorial is quite literally the least he can do as the mayor of a city with a sizable Jewish population.
