While students stand tall against anti-Semitism, where are “the adults in the room?”

WHERE ARE THE VOICES AND FACES AGAINST ANTI-JEWISH MOB RULE?

WHERE ARE THE CONGRESSIONAL LEADERS AGAINST ANTI-JEWISH MOB RULE?

WHERE ARE THE LIBERALS AGAINST ANTI-JEWISH MOB RULE IN LIBERAL NYC AND NY STATE?

All New Yorkers must stand up against the antisemites — Including the Mayor

By New York Post Editorial Board

With an antisemitic flag hoist above an NYU celebration and pro-Hamas mobs besieging synagogues and marching through Jewish neighborhoods screaming “Zionism will fail!” and beating up Jews who cross their paths, what are New Yorkers of good will to do?

Not just Jews: They’re the target now, but the whole city needs to counter this venom.

Well, the whole city except for our mayor, since Zohran Mamdani keeps justifying the haters as “enforcing international law” or “protesting genocide” or whatever.

That’s why it’s hard to disagree with ex-Assemblyman Dov Hikind’s call to boycott the Jewish heritage event Mamdani’s hosting Monday at Gracie Mansion, urging Jewish leaders “to take a stand. Show pride. Have self respect.”

Meanwhile, the City Council and Legislature must step up to maximize protections against the haters who’ve weaponized the First Amendment.

The council needs to override Mamdani’s veto of Intro 175-B, a bill to allow — not require — the NYPD to establish protest buffer zones outside schools simply to ensure free entry and exit.

State lawmakers, meanwhile, should back Gov. Kathy Hochul’s push for a law protecting all houses of worship with buffer zones that keep demonstrations back, reinforcing a city law (one Mamdani didn’t veto only because he knew he’d be overridden).
