Zohran Mamdani remains in full contempt of 911 Families and NYC's Jewish community
Giovanni Galante's petition demanding NYC's Muslim mayor stay away from the 911 Memorial was delivered to city hall:
Families of 9/11 victims hand-delivered a petition with over 100,000 signatures to City Hall on Tuesday to demand that New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani stay away from the upcoming 25th-anniversary commemoration at the World Trade Center site. The families held a press conference on the steps of City Hall.So far, Mamdani's demonstrated nothing but contempt. If any of the authorities and organizers in charge of the Memorial service allow him to enter the vicinity, they'll be just as guilty as he is of desecrating the memory of thousands of people murdered by the Religion of Peace.
The petition was launched on change.org on July 9 by 9/11 widower Giovanni Galante, whose wife Grace was murdered in the attacks. He began the petition out of concern over the mayor’s public positions, rhetoric, and associations.
Galante addressed the gathering on Tuesday, saying: “The main purpose is just that we don’t believe in what he believes in, and we really want to be left alone.”
He added, “This 25th anniversary is for our victims and us survivors to blend in and pray [on] that day for all the families, not have a circus around us.”
Monica Iken, whose husband Michael was murdered in the towers, also spoke at the podium, noting, “If the families really feel that we don’t want someone at our world-class memorial museum that’s sacred and hallowed, we feel that that person should respect our wishes.” [...]
City Council Member Vicky Paladino took an even stronger stance: “I am not asking politely for the mayor not to come to that ceremony. I am asking, I am demanding that he not show his face at that sacred ground.”
On a related note, the EndJewHatred movement is holding a rally outside the offices of Mamdani's leading backers, the Democratic Socialists of America:
Demonstrators and community activists gathered outside the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) headquarters in downtown Manhattan for a rally organized by the EndJewHatred movement and the Lawfare Project on Tuesday.Again, any figures in charge of the Memorial service who allow Mamdani to enter the vicinity should be ashamed of themselves, and do not belong there any more than Mamdani himself.
The rally, titled “Unite Against Terror,” took place at the corner of Essex Street and Straus Square near the DSA offices. The gathering was held three days before the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, focusing community opposition against the DSA and New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
New York City experiences a marked rise in antisemitic incidents
The rally unfolded against the backdrop of a marked rise in anti-Jewish incidents in the city, with recent New York Police Department data showing that hate crimes targeting the Jewish community continue to drive local offense statistics.
Critics and community leaders have increasingly blamed Mamdani for fueling these tensions, pointing to his rhetoric regarding Israel.
Protesters stood with victims and families of 9/11 and directed a message to city leadership that terror has no place on local streets, while speakers addressed the growing crowd.
Cheri Sparacio and Mike Weinstein, relatives of people killed on September 11, 2001, took the stage to voice sharp opposition to Mamdani’s planned appearance at the upcoming 25th-anniversary ceremony.
Sparacio said to the crowd, “How can this man be at my husband’s memorial? How can I stand there with him at my husband’s memorial?”
Weinstein echoed those sentiments, highlighting his deep multi-generational roots in New York and saying, “Make no mistake about it, all [those who] died and their families were impacted by the attacks by al-Qaeda, violent Sunni Islamic terrorists, and jihadists.” Weinstein further criticized city leadership: “Some of the leadership of the DSA are aligned with terrorist ideology,” adding that attacks on Jews and New York had risen substantially since the mayor took office.
Ori Solow, cofounder of the political campaign and advocacy network, Stop Mamdani, addressed the crowd during the evening event, saying, “New York will never surrender to radical extremism.” Fellow co-founder Ezra Greenspan similarly said, “New York will not stand by quietly.”
Renee Collymore, head of the Black Jewish Coalition in Brooklyn, spoke at the rally, urging solidarity and action. She said, “Do not let them scare you,” emphasizing, “We must put our support together, the Jews and the Black folks; we got to work together. This is the only way we’re going to stop the DSA.” [...]
Rally participants held American flags and placards that featured messages such as “USA Not DSA,” “Unite Against Extremism,” “Remove Mamdani,” and “Stop Zohran Mamdani.”
Throughout the demonstration, the crowd joined in loud chants, repeatedly shouting slogans like “Stay away, Mamdani!” Activist and singer Ghazal Mizrahi sang the American national anthem.
Jayne Zirkle, director of communications for EndJewHatred said in a statement to The Jerusalem Post, “Last night, EndJewHatred presented a rally to remember the lives lost on 9/11, but remembering alone is not enough. We must also confront the ideas and movements that contribute to extremism.
