On Purpose: Mamdani Erases Jewish, Italian, Irish Heritage in Controversial Map

Commie New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani has once again accidentally exposed his ethnic and religious biases in a map of “immigrant enclaves” in the Big Apple.

Irish, Italian, and Jewish immigrant communities in New York City were so large and influential that it’s become a stereotype to depict New Yorkers as one of the three ethnic/religious groups. Who hasn’t watched a movie with an Irish policeman, an Italian mobster, or a Jewish performer from NYC? Obviously, the stereotypes are not always fair or accurately representative (partly because of outside prejudice and partly because of tensions between the groups), but they exist precisely because so many sections of New York were and even still are filled with Irish, Italians, or Jews. My own ancestors were Irish immigrants to New York. And yet Mamdani didn’t so much as hint at this reality in his initial map. This isn’t an accident. It’s purposeful rewriting of history.

Until very recent history, there was not really an idea that all white people were essentially the same race; through most of history, Europeans have been prejudiced against each other, and the word slave literally comes from the much-despised and therefore much-oppressed Slavs. Wokies now gloss over centuries of inter-European racism just as they ignore racism in Africa, Asia, and among native tribes of the Americas. Why? Because otherwise lefties’ race-baiting narrative implodes, and with it much of their voter base.

It was very deliberate for Mamdani and co. to include “Little Haiti,” “Little Ecuador,” “Little Egypt,” “Little Pakistan,” “Little Africa,” and “Little Yemen,” but not “Little Italy” or traditionally Irish and Jewish neighborhoods. Heck, Mamdani even included “Little Palestine” even though Yasser Arafat invented the “Palestinian people” as recently as the 1960s, making the neighborhood nickname historically inaccurate and purely propagandistic. 

But again, this is deliberate. Mamdani is radically antisemitic and anti-Israel and supports the “Palestinians” who want to eradicate the only Jewish nation. He explicitly said he supported the “idea behind” the genocidal jihad call to “globalize the intifada.” He appointed an antisemite to head the mayoral Office to Combat Antisemitism. He has celebrated publicly with individuals who praised Hamas terrorism. And his wife pushed vile lies about the Oct. 7 atrocities and Jewish people

Furthermore, as an Islamist, Mamdani hates Christian civilization and therefore also Catholicism, which traditionally was the predominant religion of Italians and Irish. In short, Mamdani does want to erase the Jewish religion and people and suppress Christianity in public. If Muslims truly do outnumber Jews, Irish, and Italians in New York now, as the report is, Mamdani will be delighted.

That’s really why Mamdani’s office created a map not acknowledging Irish, Italian, and Jewish communities.
