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.
