Why NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s Tisha B’Av wishes are so ironic – opinion
One of Tisha B’Av’s lessons is that empires built on Israel’s disappearance have a way of disappearing themselves; New York City’s mayor should do best to remember that
The article criticizes New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's Tisha B'Av message, calling it ironic and indicative of a broader issue. The author, the international CEO of Aish, draws parallels between historical attempts to erase Jewish identity and Mamdani's actions. The piece highlights:
- Mamdani's alleged habit of accusing Israel's prime minister of crimes without evidence, signaling to his followers that the Jewish state is villainous.
- His Tisha B'Av greeting to New York's Jews, which failed to mention Israel or Jerusalem, despite the day being centered on Jewish longing for the land.
- The author states, "Every regime, every mob, every mayor or minister who has tried to write the Jews out of history has failed."
- The article concludes by emphasizing the enduring Jewish connection to Israel and Jerusalem, asserting that this connection has outlasted all who have tried to deny it.
