Mamdani’s Pogroms

Is it time for federal civil rights intervention?

David Greenfield | May 12, 2026

The sight of Muslim mobs waving terrorist flags and attacking synagogues, once seen as extreme and verbally condemned by Democrat officials, has now become normalized.

After the latest round of Muslim mobs attacking Jewish communities, waving Hezbollah and other Islamic terrorist flags, and besieging synagogues, Zohran Mamdani condemned the synagogue for hosting Israeli events. So did Brooklyn Borough President Antonio Reynoso, a ‘Community Organizer’ with the far-left Working Families Party, who had previously run virtually unopposed except for an Orthodox Jewish candidate running as a Republican which was a non-starter in today’s Brooklyn.

The normalization of Muslim mob violence isn’t new. It’s been a regular reality in cities and on college campuses since Oct 7. The synagogue attacks push the boundaries further with new attacks taking place in Jewish neighborhoods on a regular basis while politicians split the difference and argue that synagogues shouldn’t host Israeli events.

Or any events that Muslims object to.

Police offer only tepid responses to these mob assaults and the perpetrators know that even on the off chance that they’re arrested during a confrontation (previous arrests in LA were limited to Jewish community members), they’ll walk wit a desk appearance ticket.

The Mamdani regime has effectively licensed these pogroms. And the only meaningful recourse becomes federal civil rights intervention.

When the Obama administration decided to go after local governments in Ferguson and elsewhere, it sent in the DOJ, dug through the emails of local officials and forced the signing of consent decrees. The Trump administration showed how pressure worked on colleges worked to end the campus riots. Before long it may be time to use similar tactics with Mamdani and Reynoso.

    • why are soldiers guarding subways in nyc +4 Armed National Guard troops and additional police were deployed to the NYC subway system in 2024 to deter crime, conduct random bag searches for weapons, and reassure the public following high-profile violent incidents. This initiative, ordered by Governor Kathy Hochul, is designed to boost a visible security presence amid public anxiety over transit safety.Key Reasons for the Deployment:Deterrence & Visibility: The troops are meant to serve as a “show of force” to discourage criminals and make riders feel safer, particularly at major hubs like Grand Central, Penn Station, and Port Authority.Bag Checks: Members of the National Guard (Task Force Empire Shield) are tasked with conducting random bag searches at subway entrances to prevent weapons from entering the system.Addressing Violent Crime: The deployment followed several high-profile attacks, including a passenger stabbing a conductor in the neck and a shooting on a platform.Mental Health Response: The plan included expanding programs to pair mental health professionals with police to assist with individuals experiencing crises in the subway.Public Safety Reassurance: Officials noted that while transit crime has fluctuated, the visible presence helps reduce fear and, as of late 2024, has been credited with supporting increased ridership.Note: The National Guard has had a continuous, specialized presence in NYC transit hubs since 9/11 through Joint Task Force Empire Shield, but these actions represent a surge in personnel aimed at platform-level security.
