POLITICS: Anti-Israel protests at Park East Synagogue: Letters

The Issue: The hateful, intimidating protest against Nefesh B’nefesh outside the Park East Synagogue.

Zohran Mamdani says people should be free to enter a house of worship without intimidation — but these sacred spaces should not be used to “promote activities in violation of international law” (“Synagogue hate rally,” Nov. 21).

There is nothing illegal about Nefesh B’Nefesh, the group that was meeting inside the synagogue. It assists immigration to Israel. It is a recognized nonprofit organization.

It seems that, since Mamdani thinks Israel is illegitimate as a Jewish state, he therefore also believes furthering Jewish immigration is an illegal activity.

His distain of Israel and Jews is open and obvious.

The violent attack on the Park East Synagogue was just a prelude to what’s to come when the openly antisemitic, anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian and pro-BDS Mamdani and his Democratic Party, led by far-left radicals, takes office.

Mamdani doesn’t seem to understand the central story of the Bible is for Jews to return to the actual Holy Land and efforts to do so are not in violation of international law.

Is it even appropriate for a mayor-elect, a Muslim at that, to deny the understanding of another person’s religion in Amer­ica?

This was not an act of free speech or protest.

This was a test to see what these terrorists could get away with. Next time, it will be worse.

We need better laws against holding hate rallies outside houses of worship.

Mamdani should know that if Jews violate international law by moving or intending to move to Israel, we’ve been doing so for a long time.

The Amidah, the centerpiece prayer recited by Jews of all denominations, calls on God to “bring us together from the four corners of the Earth into our Land.”​

By his token, we Jews violate international law every time we open a siddur and have been doing so for almost two millennia.

No one should be surprised by this hate-filled protest. The Muslim Brotherhood is here, planning to “transform Western society from within.”

From the disruption of college campuses to the normalization of antisemitism, they are on a roll.

The Issue: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) announcing her resignation from Congress.

As a die-hard Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene voter, I think she should retract her resignation immediately (“Shocker! MTG quits Congress,” Nov. 22).

She used her time in office to torch waste, expose bureaucratic nonsense and say what every fed-up American was thinking.

She subjected witnesses like Dr. Anthony Fauci, Kimberly Cheatle and TikTok CEO Shou Zi Chew to withering cross-examinations.

In 1982, William Safire asked, “Who speaks for the average man?” Today the answer is MTG.

Andrew Delaney

I have come to see MTG as an eccentric trouble-maker over the past five years.

I think her resignation has a lot to do with the fact that President Trump and her congressional colleagues are fed up with her.

She feels betrayed, and it hurts so much that she can no longer focus on her job, but that’s not on Trump or her party; that’s on her.

It’s one thing to take your job too seriously, but I think her mistake was taking it too personally.

Good luck to her wherever she goes from here.
