(JNS)  Mainstream Jewish organizations were silent, after Jewish media reported that Zohran Mamdani, mayor of New York City, named Phylisa Wisdom the new head of the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism.

Wisdom, executive director of the New York Jewish Agenda, a progressive group, has been critical of Chassidic schools, which she has said don’t provide adequate secular education. Many Chassidic leaders have accused her of being anti-Chassidic.

“Picking Phylisa Wisdom to run an office tasked with combating antisemitism is probably the biggest gaslighting Mamdani has done so far,” stated Yaakov Kaplan, vice-chair of Brooklyn Community Board 12.

“90% of all antisemitic attacks were against Orthodox Jews,” he wrote. “Picking someone for this office that Orthodox Jews see as an adversary is mind boggling.”

Jonathan Kopp, chair of the New York City chapter of J Street, which describes itself as “pro-Israel, pro-peace, pro-democracy,” stated that Wisom is a “smart, strategic and effective leader in New York City’s Jewish communal life” and “a great pick for this important position at this critical moment.”

The progressive group Bend the Arc: Jewish Action called Wisdom “a perfect choice.”

“Phylisa understands the threat of antisemitism and how to fight it in solidarity with our neighbors,” it said. “We’re thrilled to see her take on a position in the mayor’s office.”

Brad Lander, a former New York City comptroller who is running for Congress and who has criticized Israel extensively, stated that Wisdom “is the perfect person for the job.”

“She loves what an extraordinary and diversely Jewish place New York City is, and she’ll work hard every day to keep it that way,” Lander said. “She’s fantastic at bringing people together across many lines of difference, not only to combat hate but to build a city of justice and dignity where Jews, and everyone else, feel safe in this marvelous cacophony we call home.”

Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said he was “thrilled.”

  1. With friends like Jewish ignoramus and coward Jerry Nadler who voted for Mamdani, and Brad Lander who maligns Israel, who needs enemies? Israel bashing Bernie Sanders traveled to the UK to support fellow Socialist Jeremy Corbin whose Jew hate was so virulent and outspoken, he was kicked out of the Labour Party in the UK.
    When you call for the elimination of Israel as a Jewish State, when you appoint Tamika Mallory to an official position who praises “Black Hitler”, Jew hating Nation of Islam Louis Farrakhan as her G.O.A.T, Greatest Of All Time, but then deny you are an antisemite, you insult our intelligence. As Judge Judy says, “don’t spit on me and tell me it’s raining.”
    The Mamdani’s of our world are calling for an end to Israel as a Jewish State. And then as a State entirely. And will do so by claiming not to be Jew haters but then surround themselves with those who support to the end of Israel as a Jewish State, by appointing those who smear Israel with falsehoods designed to generate hatred in others, such as calling Israel genocidal killers. All the while smiling and telling us they are simply acting in our best interests, as “humanitarians.” We used to be able to smell the stench of Jew hate. Now, our moral compass, our olfactory moral compass has been so deluged with Big Lies, we no longer inform ourselves of our own truths. The IDF is the most ethical and moral army in the world’s history.
    JNS: Melanie Phillips, “Dismantle the United Nations”: “The claim of genocide is of course as ludicrous as it is grotesque. Genocide is the intentional annihilation of a people. That’s precisely what Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah openly and repeatedly declare is their aim in the planned eradication of Israel and the killing of every Jew. In defending itself against this mass slaughter, Israel has gone to unprecedented lengths to protect Gazan civilians by repeatedly moving them en masse out of harm’s way, allowing in thousands of tons of humanitarian aid and enabling the Gazan population actually to increase over the course of the war by more than 2%. Despite these demonstrable facts, the United Nations has made feverish attempts to accuse Israel of the crimes being committed against the Jewish state.”
    Is it possible to fool all of the people, all of the time? Yes, it is. Just mix together generous helpings of these ingredients, with guaranteed results.
    Turn so called “Palestinian” Arab oppressors into victims.
    Reframe their rejection of Israel as a “cause” for justice, human rights.
    Ensure your Big Lies are jaw dropping horrors designed to instill instant disgust, along with knee jerk indignation.
    Ignore these Arabs daily genocidal Jew hate speech on Palestinian Media Watch.
    Ignore refusals for statehood & peace offers: 1948, 1967, 2000-2001, 2005 and 2008.
    Ignore refusals to accept Israel with any boundaries.
    Ignore Arab Israeli citizens full civil, legal and religious rights, in stark contrast to any of their Arab neighbors.
    Single out only the Jewish State of Israel for obsessive false blame.
    Ignore true atrocities in Syria; Hamas using millions to build tunnels of terror vs. communities of peace and prosperity; The Islamic Republic of Iran’s brutal executions; Somalia’s 98% female genital mutilation.
    Count on the average citizen, students, intersectional perpetual victims, western mainstream media to take the path of least resistance, fail to do any research or homework on facts.
    The idiot Diaspora Jews of NYC think if they align with the far left, they will be part of something superior. When the far left eventually comes after them if they are Jewish, they will be screaming the loudest as they are sent to the Gulag to learn how to not be a Jew.
    So to all who voted for this dishonest, disingenuous dangerous double speaker Mamdani, and to all who will vote for anyone with his anti-Israel views, I will end with a memorable line from that grand movie, ‘Notorious’, “You are protected for a time by the enormity of your stupidity.” Because history shows us, when they come for the Jews, you are next.
