Between a rock and his wife's social media posts: Does Zohran Mamdani have a Jew problem?

When a synagogue is attacked anywhere in the United States, New York pays attention. The city has the largest Jewish population outside Israel and a long history of treating threats against Jewish institutions as matters of urgent civic concern.

So when a vehicle was rammed into Temple Israel synagogue in West Bloomfield Township near Detroit, New York mayor Zohran Mamdani did what any mayor of New York is expected to do. He condemned the attack and ordered increased security around synagogues and Jewish institutions across the five boroughs.
