Social workers for anti-Semitic attacks and domestic violence.
Zohran Mamdani has called for having social workers respond to domestic violence and hate crimes. The radical mayoral candidate seeking to take power in New York City has proposed creating a new ‘Department of Community Safety’ to displace the NYPD using social workers, ‘violence interrupters’ and other non-law enforcement personnel to deal with some crimes.
Using non-police to respond to crimes while defunding the police is a pro-crime measure and indeed Mamdani’s proposed $1.1 billion Department of Community Safety is supposed to pull over $600 million from existing offices, but there’s something even more troubling about it.
Jews, especially after Oct 7, have become the victims of unprecedented levels of hate crimes in New York City. More than half of the hate crimes in 2024 were aimed at Jews and they were the victims of 60% of the hate crimes committed this year. A growing number of those crimes are being committed by members of Mamdani’s Islamic religion and supporters of Islamic terrorism.
Last year, Muhammad Shahzeb Khan had plotted a terrorist attack at New York City synagogues either on the anniversary of the Oct 7 Muslim terrorist massacres or around the High Holy Days. After the Oct 7 massacres, Yehia Amin, a Muslim man living in Queens, likely in Mamdani’s district, assaulted a group of Jewish men who were wearing religious clothing in Times Square while telling them, “Hamas should kill more of you” and “All Jews should die.”
Elsewhere in the city, a Jewish man was slashed by an attacker shouting “Free Palestine”, a Jewish family was attacked at a graduation ceremony with shouts of “Death to Israel” and a former Director of Government Affairs for CAIR began screaming, “I demand jihad, I want ISIS to kill all of you” at a Jewish man. CAIR, a pro-terror group that cheered the Hamas attacks of Oct 7, had reportedly funneled $100,000 to a pro-Mamdani PAC working to elect the terror supporter.
Some of the attacks on Jews were the work of Islamic and pro-terrorist political organizations including those part of the anti-Israel coalitions Mamdani had joined with. Synagogues in Brooklyn were targeted by ‘protesters’ leading to several assaults. The home of a Jewish official was vandalized with the Hamas red triangle during a Jewish holiday by terror supporters.
Why would Mamdani want to shift hate crimes away from law enforcement and to a new department of activists handpicked by him and his associates? One reason would be to suppress reporting, enforcement and prosecutions of attacks on Jews by his people and allies.
The previous De Blasio administration, which Mamdani had described as a role model, had already crippled the NYPD’s counterterrorism and ability to stop Muslim terrorist attacks before they happen. The NYPD was once able to interdict the plot by Ahmed Ferhani and Mohammad Mamdouh to attack a synagogue and the plot by Muhammad Yusuf to kill U.S soldiers in 2011. Then De Blasio took office and New York City was left exposed to Islamic terrorist attacks. --->READ MORE HERE

'OUT OF STEP:’ Zohran Mamdani distanced himself from “defund the police” posts he made in 2020, saying today they were made “amidst a frustration that many New Yorkers held at the murder of George Floyd.” He said multiple times that the posts were “clearly out of step” with his current view of policing and his campaign platform.
The Democratic nominee for mayor of New York City was speaking at a press conference held hours after he returned from an 11-day vacation to Uganda.
Mamdani has faced backlash over his past comments critical of the NYPD following the city’s deadliest mass shooting in 25 years, where four people, including an off-duty police officer, were killed in Midtown Manhattan.
“I am not defunding the police; I am not running to defund the police,” Mamdani told reporters today. “Over the course of this race, I’ve been very clear about my view of public safety and the critical role that the police have in creating that public safety.”
There was little the NYPD could have done to stop the shooter, who drove in from out of state and was in public only briefly before he began pulling the trigger. Still, the tragedy has resulted in an outpouring of support for the department and its members, and has raised questions about how Mamdani would lead the force as mayor, POLITICO reports.
Mamdani is returning to a city where polling shows him as the clear favorite, and he’ll try to maintain that lead through the tumult of a crowded general election in an unpredictable city. His opponents have homed in on his relatively limited political and management experience, and the past few days have served as a test of how the democratic socialist frontrunner would respond to a crisis — and the pressure that entails. --->READ MORE HEREFollow link below to a relevant story:
