<\/a>Giuliani Says Mamdani Has \u2018Hatred\u2019 for Jews for Declining to Attend Israel Day Parade in New York City<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/h3>\nShiryn Ghermezian<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has lambasted the city\u2019s current mayor,\u00a0Zohran Mamdani<\/a>, for the latter\u2019s decision not to attend the annual Israel Day parade, which is set to take place later this month.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMamdani\u2019s decision to snub the Israel Day Parade demonstrates his deep disdain and hatred of the Jewish community,\u201d Giuliani, a Republican, told the\u00a0New York Post<\/em>\u00a0on Wednesday. \u201cWhen you combine this with his failure to attend the investiture of the new Catholic Archbishop [Ronald Hicks], a pattern emerges, revealing a man on a mission to tear down the foundations of Western civilization.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Mamdani, a far-left democratic socialist, has made\u00a0fierce anti-Israel activism a cornerstone<\/a>\u00a0of his political career, leading many Jewish leaders and other critics to accuse him of antisemitism.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cHave New Yorkers awakened to the fact that they made a disastrous decision in November 2025 by electing this man?\u201d added Giuliani, who served as New York City\u2019s mayor from 1994 through 2001.<\/span><\/p>\n Mamdani confirmed earlier this month that he will skip this year\u2019s Israel Day Parade. However, the avowed anti-Zionist first indicated that he would not attend the event in October 2025, the month before his election. At the time, he told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that he looked forward \u201cto joining \u2014 and hosting \u2014 many community events celebrating Jewish life in New York and the rich Jewish history and culture of our city,\u201d but not including the parade.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cWhile I will not be attending the Israel Day Parade, my lack of attendance should not be mistaken for a refusal to provide security or the necessary permits for its safety,\u201d Mamdani said last year. \u201cI\u2019ve been very clear: I believe in equal rights for all people \u2014 everywhere. That principle guides me consistently.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Mamdani is reportedly the first mayor of New York City to skip the Israel Day Parade, which has been held annually since 1964. The parade takes place along Manhattan\u2019s Fifth Avenue and is set this year for May 31 under the theme, \u201cProud Americans, Proud Zionists.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n For what is believed to be the first time in history, a Muslim group will march in the parade. Supporters of the nonprofit American Muslim & Multifaith Women\u2019s Empowerment Council will participate and be led by Anila Ali, the organization\u2019s board chair and president.<\/span><\/p>\n As a supporter of the\u00a0boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement<\/a>\u00a0against Israel, Mamdani has been highly critical of the country and has refused to recognize it as a Jewish state. New York City is home to the world\u2019s largest population of Jews outside of Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cSince 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,\u201d Moshe Davis \u2013 former executive director of the Mayor\u2019s Office to Combat Antisemitism, a body formed by Mamdani\u2019s predecessor, Mayor Eric Adams \u2013 told Fox News Digital.<\/span><\/p>\n Adams told the news outlet that the Israel Day Parade \u201cis a testament to one of New York City\u2019s most important relationships.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cFrom health care to technology to innovation, Israel and New York City are partners in building a better future,\u201d he explained. \u201cI want every New Yorker to join the Parade on Fifth Avenue because celebrating this bond isn\u2019t just for the Jewish community; it\u2019s for our entire city.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Last week,\u00a0Mamdani posted a video<\/a>\u00a0on social media in honor of \u201cNakba Day.\u201d The word \u201cnakba\u201d is Arabic for \u201ccatastrophe\u201d and used by Palestinians to describe Israel\u2019s founding and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of Arabs during Israel\u2019s 1948 War of Independence.<\/span><\/p>\n Many Arabs left for varied reasons, including that they were encouraged by Arab leaders to flee their homes to make way for the invading armies to destroy the nascent Jewish state. At the same time, about 850,000 Jews were forced to flee or expelled from Middle Eastern and North African countries in the 20th century, primarily in the aftermath of Israel\u2019s declaring independence.<\/span><\/p>\n Several pro-Israel Jewish groups found the video posted by Mamdani offensive, and as a result, some Jewish leaders decided not to attend a pre-Shavuot event Mamdani hosted at Gracie Mansion in honor of Jewish Heritage Month.<\/span><\/p>\n The UJA Federation of New York and the Jewish Community Relations Council of New York, both of which are organizing the Israel Day Parade, declined to attend the gathering. They told the\u00a0New York Post<\/em>\u00a0they made the decision because the event\u2019s host is a mayor who \u201cdenies the core pillar of our heritage, the State of Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people.\u201d At the event, Mamdani announced that his administration will allocate $26 million annually to expand efforts made by the city\u2019s Office for the Prevention of Hate Crimes.<\/span><\/p>\n Since Mamdani assumed office, Jews have been\u00a0targeted in the majority of all hate crimes<\/a>\u00a0committed in New York City, continuing a troubling trend of rising antisemitism following Hamas\u2019s Oct. 7, 2023, massacre across southern Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n Zawarto\u015b\u0107 publikowanych artyku\u0142\u00f3w i materia\u0142\u00f3w nie reprezentuje pogl\u0105d\u00f3w ani opinii Reunion’68,<\/em> Giuliani Says Mamdani Has \u2018Hatred\u2019 for Jews for Declining to Attend Israel Day Parade in New York City Shiryn Ghermezian Former Donald Trump lawyer and former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani arrives at US federal court in New York City, US, Nov. 26, 2024.
