“Mamdani slammed for ‘corrupting history’ about the creation of Israel in social media post marking ‘Nakba Day’” (New York Post):
The “Nakba” could equally be remembered as the anniversary of the united Arab professional militaries invading the new UN-created State of Israel with the stated intention of driving all of the civilian Jews into the sea. Arabs living in the area allocated to the Jews were urged by their invading brothers to get out of the way so that the Jews could be defeated without collateral harm to Muslims. Those Arabs who moved eventually began to identify as “Palestinians”. Those who stayed became Arab citizens of Israel (about 2.1 million people today, including their descendants). From an anti-Jewish point of view, of course, the Nakba refers to a forced displacement similar to what ethnic Germans suffered in Central Europe after World War 11 or what Hindus and Pakistanis suffered when India was partitioned. From a purely historical perspective, the term was was used August 1948 by Syrian Constantin Zureiq in his book Ma’na al-Nakba (The Meaning of the Disaster). The “Nakba” was the Arabs’ failure to win the war that they’d started, an incredible display of incompetence given that civilians aren’t supposed to be a match for even one nation’s regular military, much less five (Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Iraq, and Lebanon; Saudi Arabia and Yemen also sent troops) and that Arabs outnumbered Jews in the region by at least 150:1 (today that’s closer to 70;1).
Who’s funding Ayatollah Mamdani to promote the anti-Jewish side of the events of 1948? Thousands of high-income Jews! They could leave center-of-Jew-hate New York City and move to Palm Beach County, Florida, the world’s largest investor in Israel bonds. It’s a 2.5-hour JetBlue flight or an easy Tesla self-drive down I-95, but they won’t do it.
If high-income Jews moved out of NYC, they’d quickly be replaced by migrants, of course, just as any American can and will be easily replaced, but the tax base might shrink to the point that Mayor Mamdani would have to focus on administering local government rather than on highlighting Israel’s misdeeds.
Why has pouring out anti-Israel points of view been a political winner for Democrats? Victor David Hanson explains in “The Four Horsemen of the New Antisemitism”:
in demographic terms, the US Muslim population is expanding exponentially, due almost entirely to recent immigration and higher birth rates than the American norm (e.g., 2.5–8 versus 1.6–1.7).
There are now nearly five million Muslim Americans. These numbers are anticipated by 2030 to surpass the Jewish American population.
An entire generation of young American elites has been groomed in universities to despise Israel and, by extension, to express hostility toward Jews. After October 7, the scab was torn away, revealing what had festered underneath for years.
The DEI binary fuels both anti-Israel and anti-Jewish animus. In this Marxist moral schema, the world abroad—and within the United States—is divided into “white oppressors” and “nonwhite victims,” despite the fact that people commonly classified as white comprise only a small minority of the global population.
Thus, Jews in America found themselves classified among the whitest and most privileged of the oppressor class, perhaps by virtue of their material success, while Israel abroad was deemed a white colonialist settler state because it repeatedly defeated neighboring enemies.
For figures like Nancy Pelosi, Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, or Chuck Schumer to forcefully challenge hatred of Israel—and, by extension, of the Jews—would now be treated as political heresy, a career-ending death wish. Defending Israel and calling out antisemitism became as unfashionable in progressive circles as praising secure borders, deportations, or fossil fuels and pipelines
what is left in the pathway of demonizing Israel and blaming Jews, here and abroad, is the supposed bigot Donald Trump and his “irredeemable,” “deplorable” MAGA movement—for now, the last dam holding back the rising flood.
The above might not be 100% correct/complete, but it is certainly bizarre that Jewish Americans support Democrats with both votes and tax dollars.

Victor Davis Hanson (sp)….lose the “C.” The airport isn’t named after him.
Fixed. Thanks!
Your piece is missing a couple very significant facts that help explain what is going on in New York and other metro areas, mainly on the coasts:
1) Many Jews are leftists/communists, so Mamdani is actually someone they love and voted for. An astonishing 33% of NYC Jews voted for him (as per Grok).
2) Many Jews hate America because they are leftists/communists (Grok says 45-60% of Jews in America are leftists).
3) Many Jews hate Donald Trump (they honestly believe he is a Fascist and Nazi), so they are inherently in favor of anything/anyone who impedes his agenda (and this extends to even to supporting Hamas because Trump and Bibi are trying to erase them).
These people love funding Mamdani and his ilk in New York and would never leave.
@Mamdani lovers, I think it is fair to estimate that majority of Mamdani supporters are on debit side of NYC balance sheet. Better off Jewish high tax payers (all 50000 of them) , 60% of whom are probably conservative anyway could leave NYC for Miami, Pam Beach or Boca Raton without tipping the voting balance negatively in Florida. This would have no impact on Jewish life in NYC as those Apollo etc Jews work on Sabbath anyway. For fun they can keep financing non-profit Jewish institutions including neighborhood self defense groups in New York City, it is a tax write-off.
Sad but true. Hard to explain ongoing self-destruction of the west without reading Hebrew Bible and later prophets. Even though it conflicts with modern #science: no cloth face masks in Hebrew Bible.
