“We are not all right.”
I said those words in the days after October 7, 2023. Three years later, we are STILL not all right.
We remember the children, parents and grandparents murdered by Hamas. The young people who went to a music festival and never came home. The families whose pain does not end when the anniversary passes.
And we are not all right when antisemitism spreads like wildfire, too often fueled or excused by government officials who have a responsibility to confront it. We are not all right when Jewish families live in fear and those entrusted to protect them look the other way.
It is more important than ever to stand up, speak out and fight this hatred. Silence cannot be our answer.
To my Jewish brothers and sisters: Your fight is my fight. I am your brother. I stood beside you then. I stand beside you now. And I always will.
May the memories of those we lost be a blessing.

"Extremists come for Jews because of the lies that are told about the Jewish people and their ancient homeland—lies that have skyrocketed over the past few years."
Powerful piece by my former colleague, @_moshedavis.

I was the first executive director of NYC’s Office to Combat Antisemitism, writes Moshe Davis. Mamdani’s new strategy has plenty to say about celebrating Jews—just nothing about the movement that has made them afraid. thefp.com/p/mamdani-says-hel…

Must read by @_moshedavis .’ “But what is absent is any mention of the violent attacks against Jews that followed October 7, 2023, and the outburst of anti-Israel propaganda and genocidal chants screamed in our streets in the three years since” thefp.com/p/mamdani-says-hel…

After several high-profile incidents at houses of worship, a bipartisan coalition of lawmakers has introduced federal legislation aiming to put an end to the phenomenon.
The Right to Worship Act would prohibit disruptions within 100 feet of houses of worship while religious services are underway.
While the proposed bill would hardly fend off acute threats like attempted massacres at synagogues or Iran-backed attacks on Jewish schools, a federal buffer zone would raise the cost of antisocial behavior targeting religious Americans, @tal_fortgang writes. city-journal.org/article/rig…
Americans are afraid to pray. 39% percent have changed how often they attend their house of worship. Here's what Congress can do about it.

I'd recommend the mayor and his team visit the Jewish enclaves they left off their tourist map. Bukharian Queens. Syrian Flatbush. Chasidic Boro Park. Maybe if he actually visited them, he'd stop calling them monsters.

The anti-Israel conspiracy promises easy answers. It delivers fewer jobs, higher rents, smaller pensions, and Jewish communities driven from places they helped build. Mamdani and the BDS activists are repeating the mistake. My new op-ed: foxnews.com/opinion/mamdanis…

Just a New York history lesson for our "112th" @NYCMayor
From @AriellaNoveck
Former Executive Director of the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism Moshe Davis:
"Since the very first Israel Parade in 1964, every single sitting Mayor of New York City has joined in the festive celebrations. New York has historically been proud of its deep relationship with Israel. Not joining the parade is an affront to the history of New York City."
Moshe Davis retweeted
"Anti-Israel activism is an obsession that clouds judgment. Israeli companies have brought cutting-edge technology, life-saving medical innovation, and more than 27,000 jobs to New York City. Pushing them away punishes everyday New Yorkers," said @_moshedavis
NEW from me
The New York City Economic Development Corporation has removed a section of its website touting NYC-Israeli business ties — similar pages for Japan, UK, France and Germany remain up

By failing to distance herself from her past statements, NYC’s First Lady compromises the safety of New Yorkers and gives cover to bigots. @NYCMayor's silence only worsens the accusations against him.
My full quote in @politico:
ALT “As the first lady of New York City, she must understand that the safety of New Yorkers is compromised when she cheers on terrorists, uses racial slurs, and gives cover to bigots by not distancing herself from her previous statements,” said Moshe Davis, a rabbi who served as executive director of the Mayor’s Office to Combat Antisemitism under former Mayor Eric Adams. “The accusations of antisemitism against Mayor Mamdani have often centered on his close affiliations with those who support Palestinian terror groups. The mayor’s silence after it was revealed that his wife posted messages celebrating terrorists only exacerbates that charge.”
Mamdani has sidestepped his wife’s social media history by designating her a “private person.”
But even allies of the NYC mayor are beginning to question this label.

Children are called baby killers in school. Definitions of antisemitism that intentionally exclude anti-Israel rhetoric enable violence against Jewish people. My message to @NYCMayor in the @NYDailyNews: "Let New York's Jews Define the Hate They Face"
